Brahmans in Karbala

Writer Intizar Husain in DAWN (January 20th,2008) wrote an article on Husaini Brahmans.

The history of Husaini Brahmans, as told by Nonica Dutt, begins with ten
Brahmans going to Karbala with the determination to die fighting for Imam
Husain. Among them were Rahib Dutt and his seven sons who fought bravely and
resolutely. With the blessings of Imam Husain they met their death in a
heroic way. Rahib Dutt was the lone survivor of the battle.

Write did mention that famous artist Sunil Dutt was also from this community. This can be aunthenticated at DAILY TIMES

Husaini Brahmans otherwise known as Hindu Shia are the hindu devotees of Imam Hussain (Alaihe salam). Muharam rituals in India are surprising.Read it at HINDU DEVOTEES OF IMAM HUSSAIN
