my dadee and dada abba were mughals and my dadee ammi used to tell me some wonderful stories abt her life when she was a child and how it used to be
my mum isnt a mughal anyhow, it doesnt matter to the family these days, noone ever really talked abt it after my grandparents passed away
hehe, who—me was talking about something completely different CA. smile
Thats interesting Xara.
Munni, there's something on your ass - Gupshup's lips.
If Munni considers herself a mughul, I consider myself a knight in shining armour (my fam has a long war related history).

Thanks for listening. I guess we all face things in life, things that we may never get to truly rationalize to ourselves.

Nice way of bragging.
Whats next...
hskhan, I believe you missed the point of this thread. sigh
fair, what is to brag about? It's really something that a lot of people would make fun of me for stating, rather than think well of. Case in point, hskhan's post.
If I wanted to brag I'd talk about my achievements in this day and age, not of something I inherited, and there is nothing wrong in stating my ancestry. It interests me, and yet haunts me. Something perhaps others cant comprehend, but I think they can, thus the point of the thread.
If you missed the point, then I am sorry. I thought about it before posting this thread, cause I knew that some ppl would take the point of the post to be showing off, but I did it anyway, knowing many wouldnt see it that way. Allah is sufficient as my witness, to my intention in this thread.
Thanks for the posts/replies.

Shak, it is true that a lot of people say they are mughal and infact are not, like with Khans, Syeds, etc. I was infact hoping that those that call themselves Syeds would relate to me in this thread and talk of their experience, because I hear some families talk of traditions of only marrying Syeds, etc.
[/QUOTE]
Im a syed from my dads side and we dont talk about it at all, infact it doesnt affect our lives. it was a pure coincidence that my eldest sister married a syed. what do you mean we think were something that were not? my parents really dont believe in hierarchies, especially my dad.

Catty, when I said "those that call themselves Syeds" I meant it as those that pride themselves as Syeds, that is what I meant to say. I've met quite a few girls, and some have shared stories how they cant marry someone they like because he is not a Syed or she is not a Syed, etc. That certain practises are followed, etc, strict code of conduct in following hadith and sunnah, etc. Which my friends feel is a "pressure" on them, just as I sort of do. I just wonder at the practise of it all. I consider some traditions to be unimportant, and some that we need to break.
Munni, okay not a slap, but a friendly Jhamperr, idris was a great pal and i lost contact with him, no idea where he is now.
now as far as someone relating to you. I am from a syed family, but it is not used in the name, and there are no restrictions on whether u have to marry a syed or not. those that married into other syed families were a coincidence, there are more ppl married no non syeds than syeds. The family has never made a big deal out of it or paid any special attention to it.
I found a website that I thought might be helpful to some of you guys here, since you are talking about ‘FAMILY NAMES’ and all.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.
Munni, who said you're bragging. Gupshup is too busy kissing your ass-thats all.

Thanks for the PM hskhan, I tried to reply but your inbox is full, please delete some things so I can resend.
However I dont really see where that happened, what you speak of.
I apologize for taking what you said in a light it was not intended. I do that sometimes. sigh
lol kissing Munnis ass for what hskhan? gee whizz, 
so noone shouldve replied to Munnis thread, lest you be taken for kissing a$$.
^ replying, and fainting after learning munni is a mughul are two seperate things. ;)
Munni, you may PM - I deleted some messages.
