maksade hussain
this is the unwritten doctrine maksade hussain… the resson for life for a shia is to cry for his imam… to remember him as his fore fathers did 1400 years before.. only a shia can answer this… i have no problems with the majority community called sunnis.. whatever history of shias we have comes from their books…my best freinds are sunnis..  they have their reasons.. we have ours… they cannot change us,, we will not change… at least i wont.. even the shias want me to change,, the sufis want me to change..  the nagas they dont change,, they wear next to nothing…the holy spirit he sure changed me… faith is not a church, mosque,or a mandir..

even the faithless have faith in their faithlessness.
‘THE SUNNIS ALWAYS COMPLAIN
ABOUT OUR OMNIPRESENT PAIN.
THAT WE DONT HAVE TO TRAIN,
OUR UNBORN CHILD
WILL BE BORN
TO LIVE AND DIE
FOR MAKSADE HUSSAIN…’

MAKSAD MEANS REASON..
AND FAITH.. WITHOUT REASON
IS A SPIRITUAL TREASON..
LIVE FOR A DAY AND DIE FOR A SEASON…

MASHKE SAKINA
THIS THE LITTLE WATER POUCH THAT LITTLE SAKINA 4 YEAR OLD , GAVE TO HER WARRIOR.,  STANDARD BEARING UNCLE ABBAS TO GO AND GET WATER FOR HER.. HE WAS SURROUNDED BY ALL SIDES HE AND HIS HORSE IN THE WATER AND THE WATER POUCH,,, MASHKE SAKINA.THEY CHOPPED OF HIS ARMS .. HE TRIED TO HOLD THE POUCH WITH HIS TEETH.. THIS IS NOT THE CRUSADES,, THIS IS KARBALA WHERE THE SEEDS OF TERRORISM WERE SOWN..
THIS IS ISLAMIC FORCES BEATING THE DIGNITY OF THE HOLY PROPHETS.. GENEALOLOGY…WE DONT TREAT OUR WORST ENEMIES THIS WAY… THIS IS ARABIA… THE SO CALLED CRADLE BEING SHAKEN BY 3 FAITHS.. JUDAISM, CHRISTIANITY.. AND HOLIER THAN THOU… I AM HAPPY TO BE SIMPLE INDIAN..  PROUD OF MY MIXED PARENTAGE IF ANY.. .. A INDIAN MUSLIM IS WORTH THE SALT ..HE IS BORN IN.
DURING THE BATTLE OF KARBALA.. IMAM HUSSAIN MADE A REQUEST OF TAKING REFUGE IN HIND.. AS HE DID NOT WANT UNNECSSARY BLOODSHED AMONG THE TRIBES THAT WERE ALL INTERRELATED… HIND IS PRESENT HINDUSTAN OR INDIA..
IN THOSE DAYS ALL PARTS THIS SIDE OF THE HINDU KUSH.
THE REQUEST TO HIND WAS THE HOSPITALITY… ONCE YOU COME TO INDIA YOU DONT WANT TO GO.. ASK THE ENGLISH….
THE IMAMS WIFE SHERABANO WAS A PRINCESS FROM IRAN HER SISTER WAS MARRIED TO THE RENOWNED KING OF INDIA CHANDRA GUPTA MAURYA… HE SENT A BATTALION FOR THE IMAMS HELP.. BUT THE IMAM WAS MARTYRED.. THE BATTALION IN SHAME DID NOT RETURN TO INDIA.. SO A PART OF INDIAN HISTORY LIES BURIED IN THE SANDS OF KARBALA ORIGINS OF THE HUSSAINI BRAHMINS.
A PART OF KARBALA LIES BURIED IN HEART OF PHOTOGRAPHERNO1.IS,,,
AT HOME, IN A CHURCH, A MOSQUE, A TEMPLE. A CAVE , A SYNAGOGUE.. EUPHEMISTICALLY WRONGLY NAMED FOR THIS
WAY SIDE INN CALLED THE WORLD.
SO DURING MOHARRAM ON THE STREET CORNERS YOU HAVE WATER OUTLETS TO QUENCH YOUR THIRST CALLED SABILS..
OR MASHKE SAKINA.

HYDERABAD IS THE CITY OF TH NIZAMS.. AND A TREASURE TROVE
THEY MADE REPLICAS OF WHATEVER WAS GOOD ARCHITECTURALLY… IN THE ARAB WORLD… AND IT IS THE OLD IMPOTENT PENILE HEADED ARABS WHO COME TO THIS CITY AND RAPE AND PLUNDER ARE GIRLS..UNDER THE NAME OF MATRIMONY… I AM NOT A RELIGIOUS FREAK… MY IMAGE PRECEEDES ME…BUT THE ARABS HAVE TWO SETS OF RULES.. FOR THEM AS THE FOLLOWERS OF PRISTINE ISLAM AND US INDIAN MUSLIMS.. CAUGHT IN THE ETHOS OF OUR INDIAN CULTURE…
WE ARE THE HAVE NOTS AND THEY,THE HAVES… BUT YES THEY LOVE THE TASTE.. OF INDIAN SEXUAL CULINARY… I AM TALKING FROM EXPERIENCE… I WORKED AT THE TAJ MAHAL HOTEL AT THE OBEROI SHERATON.. EARLY 70S AI SAW LITTLE SULTAN KIDS AND LITTLE FUTURE EMIRS RUN AMOK , THE SYSTEM TOOK IT SILENTLY AND THEIR PETRO DOLLARS TOO.
SOMETIMES I THNK WE ARE A RACE OF PEOPLE WHO LIKE TO GET F*****EVERY DAY,AND WE GET PISSED IF WE DONT GET THE
MORNING F***  OF A NEW DAY… WE HANG OURSELVES FROM FANS,
THROW OUSELVES FROM TOWERS ON HEADS THAT DONT EVEN BELONG TO NEWTON… WE DROWN,,, AND FISH.. GO ON A FAST…
WE ARE POISON,,, TO NATURE TO MAN AND TO MANKIND,
SO WHY AM I PICKING ON ARABS… FOTOTHING HONCHO MODERATOR CUT MY TONGUE FOR SHOWING PICTURES OF SUFIS AS THEIR TONGUE CUTTING A FORM F THEIR RITUALS. NOT GOOD FOR KIDS ON THE SITE,THEY SAID.
AND ENGLISH KIDS, GETTING CORRUPTED BY…SUFIS
ENGLISH KIDS GET CORRUPTED MUCH BEFORE THEY ARE BORN..
 I AM IN FORTUNE TELLING MOOD FOR BLAIRS NEW KID,
I AM HAPPY HERE AT BUZZNET ANTHONY STEVE AND MARC BROWN RE STITCHED IT… THEY USED A DEAD MAD DOGS TONGUE FOR THE MISSING PART.. AND I GO CRAZY WHEN SOMEBODY COMES TO MY BUZZ AND SAYS WOW… I HEAR BOW BOW… .
I AM DEAF, I CANT SEE AND. I CANT TYPE AND I USE 1 FINGER AND IF IT GETS STUCK IN THE WRONG ASS WHAT DO I DO.
SOME SHIA KIDS ASKED ME UNCLE WHICH SITE TO SEE YOUR PICTURES…. I RAN,,, I SHOOT WITH MY EYES CLOSED.. A SUFI TERM…I CHANGED THE PICTURE AS I HAVE GONE OVER BOARD WITH THE BLINDERS OF MY TONGUE THE NEW PICTURE IS OF A SHIA SHRINE.. AND TO SHOW THE HEIGHT AND GRANDEUR I DRAGGED MRS PHOTOGRAPHERNO1 WHO HATES BEING PHOTOGRAPHED BY ME AND EVEN NOT ANYONE ELSE.. HER NAME IS AFSHAAN, HER FAMILY , COMES FROM OLD IRANIAN STOCK AN HAVE THEIR OWN HISTORY BOOK.. THE QAZILBASH…

WELL JOE TOLD ME HIS BROTHER USED TO SHOOT MY KIND OF PICTURES.. AND IN A HOTEL IN CHENNAI HE WAS ROBBED , BEATEN AND MURDERED… I WROTE BACK AND ASKED HIS FORGIVENESS FOR WHAT MY COUNTRY MAN HAD DONE.. I ALSO SAID THAT THE
INDIAN GUY BY HIS ACTIONS HAD NOT ONLY KILLED HIS BROTHER, BUT ALSO A PART OF INDIA.. AND MANKIND BY DEFAULT.
THE ABOVE PICTURE… IS NOT FOR COMMENTS.. I WAS AT THE RIGHT PLACE AT THE WRONG TIME… I DONT TRESSPASS ON PEOPLES PRIVATE MOMENTS.. AND THIS IS NOT AN ISLAMIC PICTURE,, THE ONLY THING ISLAMIC IS WRITING ON THE WALL
AND I HOPE SANITY PREVAILS,.. LET US AND I PLEAD TO YOU READ THIS PICTURE DIFERRENTLY.. OR JUST SKIP// AS YOU DO WHEN YOUR CHILDREN DO WHAT THEY SHOULD NOT BE DOING…
I AM A FATHER FIRST I TOO HAVE A DAUGHTER ONLY ONE.
I MET A GUY AFTER I CAME BACK FOM HYDERABAD WHO IS DOING BOOKS ON RELIGIOUS SITES.. AND THE DUAS, MOSQUES OF THE WORLD.HE SAW ME AT VARIOUS SHIA DOS…HE WANTED PICTURES OF SHIA EVENTS AND MY SON KNEW HIM TOO…HE HAD LUNCH. AND I GAVE HIM THIS CD OF CHELUM IN HYDERABAD..

AS A TALKER I CAN WRITE FOR DAYS ON THIS PICTURE,
OUR CHILDREN DO WRONG WE DONT DISOWN THEM.. NOT EVEN GOD.. SO THE SAINTLY AND UNSAINTLY DONT PLAY GOD…
DONT UNVEIL THEM FROM WITHIN WHEN YOU PLUNDER THEM AS
AN EXCUSE TO CHILD MARRIAGE, SELL THEM TO BROTHELS
LET OUR CHILDREN GROW GUIDE THEM LET THEM EVOLVE AS ADULTS,,, DONT MAKE THEM AN ADULT IN ONE NIGHT..
READ MY POST AND IGNORE THE PICTURE..
THIS PICTURE HAS ITS PLACE IN THE GALLERY OF A GROWING GIRL CHILD…
GOOD NIGHT
I HAVE DECIDED TO GO HOME FROM MY BUZZHOME.. TO MY…
HOMEBUZZ,
BUZZ BOAT,,, MY BEST FRIND I WILL UNSUBSCRIBE IF YOU

hyderabad is in the state of andhra pradesh of india… this is a city that has some of the most exciting monuments and a past so rich in history.. it was founded by mohomed quli qutub shah,, who
founded the qutub shahi dynasty,, he had married a hindu danceuse,, called bhagmati.. on becoming king he changed her name to hyder mahal… hence hyderabad.
in 1724 asif jah who was granted the title of the nizamul mulk by the moghul emperor.. took over the control of hyderabad province.
his successors ruled as nizams of hyderabad,,
among my pictures of despair,, i shall take a break and a peek into an india,, that is a mystically magic land.

cry of faith…..
this is a child having his forehead cut in the memory of imam
hussain..  the period is moharram strictly celebrated for 40 days or some for 2months 8days,,,,by the shia moslems
they wear black clothes and mourn the matyrdom of the grandson of the holy  prophet,, by the evil yazidi forces of that time..
this event is celebrated in iran iraq pakistan and in india,, and other countries.
the above scene is from hyderabad,, india,, and is on the 10th day of moharram called ashura,
you views and sensibilities may differ from the shias,,,,
you may call their views misguided… but that is the goal of their life,, through my pictures.. i share with you the study of mans
mind… and its influence on mankind as a whole…faith , religosity and supreme sacrifice , truths triumph over evil..

hussainiyat crushing yazidiyat,,,

Shah ast Hussain, Badshah ast Hussain
Deen ast Hussain, Deen Panah ast Hussain
Sardad na dad dast, dar dast-e-yazeed,
Haqaa key binaey La ila ast Hussain

Ruler is Hussain, Emperor is Hussain,
Faith is Hussain , guardian of faith is Hussain .
Offered his head and not the hand to Yazid.
Truly, the mirror of faith is Hussain

This is a replica of the shrine of Imam Hussains brother named Hazrat Abbas noted for his valour..  his sacrifice,,, he was the standard bearer of the army of the Imam that consisted of 72 people against the Yazidi forces…Imam Hussains army was totally wiped out in Karbala present Iraq..
but a new army took its place an army of mourners called Shias.
Hyderabad is the city in India where the feelings of the faith of these people can be seen…
I shot this picture for the writing on the walls…  in the heart of the kids.
Words engraved on their innocent souls… Hussainiyat.

This is Shamim Haidar he takes the huge dagger  hits it with his palm into the cranium .. once it gets stuck there, he again hits it ,then slides it down all the way.. in all my years of this Moharram photography I have never seen something like this, he  is a member from Banney Qama  s Anjuman where I did my Kama Matam  gained a new found notoriety in Kazmain with my Tandav rendition of my Dance of Revenge.
