Re: Hindus join Muharram rally in MP town
it started of as a political thing by hindus to curry favor from shia muslim nawabs dedicated some taziyahs during muharram processions.
Many shia clergy actually protested strongly against participation of pagan hindus in muharram but they were sidelined by nawabs who needed hindu support in a state where muslims were a minority. some nawabs also tried to end it as well
later some hindus might have formed some devotional cults and who knows maybe elevated Hussain b Ali [as] to the status of a god.
