This one is complex. Both Bohris and Agha Khani beliefs are descended from the form of Ismailism that the Fatimids followed. Like the Sunni/Shia split, Bohris and Aga Khanis separated for political reasons, and religious differences followed.

When the Fatimid Caliph died in 1094, his Grand Vizier, a Sunni, declared that the Caliph’s younger son was the new Caliph, not the older son, in defiance of Ismaili tradition.

Bohri beliefs stem from those who accepted the younger son as Caliph. Agha Khani beliefs stem from those who tried to fight for the right of the elder son, were defeated, and left Egypt into exile.

which areas Agha Khani migrated at that time and are the Agha Khanis in Sindh are those who migrated at that time or they later came from Iran, etc? I read somewhere that Fatmid rule was extended to Sindh.

I was recently reading a book on Bhanbhor, which tells that Bhanbhor (old city of Sindh near karachi, which has been considered as Deebal by some historians) was destroyed by Jalaludin Khwarsam Shah. Was he an Agha Khani / Ismaili?
