Question about Shia Majalis?

Re: Question about Shia Majalis?

I am a sunni but i have been to Shia majalis during muharram, and also seen it on television many times. I have a question about shia majalis.

Now during the majlis people say Nara Takbeer, Nara Risalat, Nara Haideri. But i have noticed that if someone says Nara Takbeer, some people will slowly say Allah Huakbar, and again the same thing happens if someone in majlis says Nara Risalat and some people will slowly reply and say Ya RasoolAllah.
But when someone says Nara Haideri, everyone in the crowd will loudly and enthusiastically say Ya Ali.

Now i am not saying that there is anything wrong with saying Ya Ali. Because some sunnis argue that saying Ya before anyone’s name except Allah is wrong especially if that person is deceased. But that is a very different argument and i don’t want to get into that.

My only question is why do shias in the majlis only say Nara Haideri loudly but not Nara Takbeer or Nara Risalat??
Sirf Nara Haideri hee kyon oonchi awaz say lagatay hain, baaki bhee to naaray hain?

I am sorry if i offended anyone with this post because it was not my intention.

This question is more of Psyche than theology, 12ers as a minority cling tightly to their identitiy which is associatted with Ali and his family.This leads to the common accusation that 12ers venerate Ali more than Muhammad ( saw) which is not true, while they do hold their imams in higher regard than other pROPHETS.By loudly proclaiming “Ya Ali” they assert their determination to remain a distinct community within muslims.
