This story is fictiobal. It has been deliberately done to show that even Brahmins liked Muslims. Suckular gang has done immense damage to Indian history. As they show sufis as innocent men,this story too has been used to fool gullible Hindus. No islamic record ever talks about Rahab Dutt. It is only Premchand who first mentioned his name in the 1900s. I am well-versed in history. From my long experience,I confirm that this is a ploy to fool Hindus.
Authentic Islamic historians like Al-Tabari Nazari have given the list of those who died at Karbala. You can refer to this list. This list has no name of Rahab Dutt. Facts make it clear that Rahab Dutt is fictional. He did not go to Iraq to fight. Hope Hindus do some research on this.

Sad to see Hindus foolishly celebrating their own ‘collateral damage’ (whether real or mythical) in the internecine wars of Islam. After the emotions have cooled down, what exactly is the achievement here for Hindus on the whole? “We sacrifice ourselves for others battles” – is that it? Whatever may have been the reality of the 7th 8th century Arabia, in today’s light this is interesting but hardly of any inspirational value, the way it’s being portrayed here. Sad that Hindus seem to think it is …

Pls send book name for know about battle of karbala and hussaini bramins

that’s absolutely right that Hazrat Sakina (AS) was not myrtyred on 10th of Muharram. She is martyred in Zindan (Prison) at Sham.

Thanks alot!

At first u proved that u r from Muslim family. And your decentdent is not Kafer.

Prof. Saab, maano too Ganga Maa hun, no mano to beheta pani

Elimination of kashmiri pandits is their cowardness.
Muslim don’t hate Hindus, they know what going to happen if you will mix anyone with God, so they teach you , rest is on you, how you take it, a suggestion or conversion.

This is the reason why they hurt us cause muslims religion and leaders and their holy books are corrupted
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c85fYG5WJwE
Usman and other sunni muslims were rich business community and they wanted power after prof. mohammed so they corrupted religion to suit them.
till today saudi has used religion to suit them in power.
Below is detail story
Arab/Persians forces have been eyeing Sindh for a longtime to expand their empire as what they were doing in other places too. Arab forces attacking sindh from Rai Sahasi time and also during Chach rule. There were repeated attempt to grab some land of Sindh but while most attacks were repulsed even the few successful attacks the arabs could not retain the captured land for long as they were driven out by Sindhi’s subsequently. So 19 times they tried and each time the Hindus sent them back alive after they surrendered.,
Khalifa Usman was so upset by the Arab defeats in Sindh during his term that he forbade any more attempts on Sindh, on the ground that “its water is dirty, its soil stony, and its fruit poisonous.”
It is believed that Later on Hajjaj Bin Yousif sent Mohammed Bin Qasim because Raja Dahir had given promise to protect Prof. Muhammad’s grandson Hussein ibn Ali. Raja Dahir was protecting the Family and refused to return them back which eventually lead to a war between the Mohammed bin Qasim and Raja Dahir.
During the Battle of Karbala took place on Muharram 10, in the year 61 AH of the Islamic calendar (October 10, 680) in Karbala, situated in present day Iraq.[8] The battle was between a small group of supporters and relatives of Muhammad’s grandson Hussein ibn Ali, and a much larger military detachment from the forces of Yazid , the Umayyad caliph, to whom Hussein had refused to give an oath of allegiance. Hussein and all his supporters were killed. Raja Dahir promised protection and sent Brahmins Fought to protect Imam Hussain in the Battle of Karbala and this has been recorded by the historian Sisir Kumar Mitra, in his book ‘The Vision of India’. page 183.
This was Raja Dahir’s army. At the time of the war of Karbala (Oct. 680 AD).
Rahab Sidh Datt, a potentate of Datt sect, was a highly esteemed figure of Arabia due to his close relations with the family of Prophet Mohammed. In the holy war when no Muslim King came to help Prof. Mohammed Grandson Imam Hussain. Rahab fought On his side andd sacrificed his seven sons (named Sahas Rai. Haras Rai, Sher Khan, Rai Pun, Ram Singh, Dharoo and Poroo) in the bloody war.
Hindus, who fought and sacrificed their lives in the holy war of Karbala, are the descendants of Ashwathama, the Hindu saint.
The Martyr’s List at Qum verifies this. History records when the third thrust by Yazid’s forces came, the Dutt brothers refused to let them pass. The seven Punjabi swordsmen stood their ground till they were felled by hundreds of horsemen.
It says that one of the wives of Hazrat Imam Husain, the Persian princess Shahr Banu, was the sister of Chandra Lekha or Mehr Banu, the wife of an Indian king Chandragupta. King chandragupta had sent his army but they reached late by that time Imam Hussein was already killed.
Rahab Singh Dutt, an upper-caste Hindu belonging to Mohyal community traveled all the way to Iran, along with his sons to join Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad in the war of Karbala. The famous battle was fought against caliph Yazeed, who had turned corrupt and spread a cruel rule in the region of al-sham (the area which is now demarcated as Iraq, Iran and Syria). Since the grandson of prophet took objection to his unjust methods, Yazeed launched a war against him.
At the time of the war at Karbala, fought in 681 AD, which led to a schism amongst the Muslim community into Sunnis and Shias, Rahib Sidh Datt was a highly esteemed figure in Arabia due to his close relations with the family of Prophet Mohammed. When Hassan ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad was murdered, his younger brother, Hussain, came out to oppose the new Caliph, Yazid ibn Muawiyah. The vastly superior forces of Yazid, at Karbala surrounded his force consisting of seventy two men. Hussain was fatally wounded by Shamer, the commander of Yazid, and died after Shemr cut Hussain’s head off in the desert on the tenth day of Muharram (Today observed as the Day of Ashura. Yazid’s army later left the desert with the severed head of Hussain, up to Kufa. Later, the head was carried to Damascus and finally buried with the rest of the body at Karbala. In the revenge war, Hindu Brahmin Rahib fought on the side of Mukhtar and sacrificed his seven sons in the bloody war.
In the holy war when no Muslim King came to help Hussain. Rahab fought On his side mld sacrificed his seven sons (named Sahas Rai. Haras Rai, Sher Khan, Rai Pun, Ram Singh, Dharoo and Poroo) in the bloody war.
Dutt did not die in the battle, but his seven sons who accompanied him lost their lives shortly after the beheading of Imam Hussain. After the battle, he met Hussain’s sister, Zainab and narrated his story.
A grieving Rahab returned to the land of his ancestors, and after staying in Afghanistan, returned to Lahore.
On their arrival in India, the descendants of Rihab were received with great hospitality by the native Mohyals. They eventually settled near Nankana Sahib in the district of Sheikhupura in present-day Pakistan. It was here that in the closing decades of the tenth century an interesting incident took place involving a pro-caliphate Pir called Wahun – a trickster chess player, and Shiv Datt – the chief of the Datts. Wahun was known for his knack of invariably winning the games. According to a bet fixed by him, the loser would either pay the price with his head or embrace Islam. In this way, he converted a large number of Hindus to the Muslim faith until he met his match in Shiv Datt. He challenged the Pir to a game of chess and defeated him three times in a row, thereby claiming the heads of his wife and two sons as per the stakes. However out of sheer magnanimity, Shiv Datt pardoned their life. When Wahun came to know that one of the ancestors of Shiv Datt had sacrificed his seven sons for the sake of Muhammad in the battle of Karbala, he took a solemn vow that in the future he would never convert any Hindu by coercion to Islam. It was on this occasion that the Pir echoed the famous words: Wah Datt Sultan, Hindu ka Dharam Musalman ka Iman(Hail, O King Datt for Thou are endowed with the Dharma of the Hindu and the Iman of the Muslim). Many direct descendants of Rahib Dutt use last names such as Dutt, Datt, Sharma, Bharadwaj.
The Hussaini Brahmins thrived in the regions of Pakistan in the pre-independence era. The community members are identified with surnames such as Mohan, Bali, Chibber, Dutt, Bakshi, Lav, Bimwal and Jhingran. After the partition, they migrated to India and settled in various parts of the nation.
They are now spread across Sindh in Pakistan, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Kashmir, Delhi and other parts of India,
Datt or Dutt is a Mohyal Brahmin clan from Jammu, Punjab, and Haryana. Dutt is a warrior clan of Mohyal Brahmins.[1] They are one of the seven clans of the Mohyals who are Saraswat Brahmins. The six other clans are Bali, Bhimwal, Chhibber, Lau, Mohan and Vaid. Most Dutts are Hindus, but like most Mohyals, many follow Sikhism and other religions as well; their gotra is Bharadwaj. Some Datt Brahmins migrated eastward and mingled with Bhumihar Brahmins and became one with them
The reason for the conquest of Sindh by Ummayyad Imperialism was Raja Dahir’s refusal to return Muhammad Bin Allafi, who had taken asylum under Raja Dahir’s government. He had also given shelter to a well-known follower Imam Hussian, Muhammad Bin Allafi, was given shelter in Sindh from the Ommayya enemies of Ahal-e-Baith.[2]As it was against the social rule of the Sindhis in those days, to return the persons who had placed themselves under their protection from their enemies. Raja Dahir’s tolerance and liberal minded-ness was a well known fact, or account of which people of various religions lived peacefully in Sindh, where Hindus had their temples and Parsis had their fire temples, Buddhists had their pagodas, Muslims had their mosques. The Muslims had settled in Sindh on account of the policy of the Arab rulers. These rulers had difference with the relations of the Prophet, and being intolerant, wanted to kill them. How could this God-fearing ruler return these sheltered people to the cruel and tyrant Arab rulers? It is said that Imam Hussain (Alahisalam), after being harassed by Yazeed and his followers, wanted to come to Sindhi on the invitation of Raja Dahir. But instead of being given permission to go to Sindhi, he was martyred at Karbala. The fact is that the Arab Imperialism started during the days of Umer, who had started conquering other countries. This was the fifteenth invasion of Sindh. How in the days of Waleed Bin Abdul Malik, the Arabs succeeded. It will be proper if I elaborate on the fourteenth invasion of Sindh, since the days of Caliph Umer.

After some time, Shiv Datt along with a long number of followers left Nankana Sahib and moved to Dipalpur, where they lived in peace and harmony until Mahmud Ghaznavi attacked Dipalpur in 1001 AD and uprooted them from there. The Datts along with other Saraswat Brahmins fought against Ghaznavi’s forces but they were vastly outnumbered. There were 5,000 Brahmins fighting against 85,000 soldiers of Ghaznavi. Many were killed and remaining Brahmins (mostly Datts) migrated to the Shahi kingdom of Raja Anandpal in Lahore. When Anandapala and his successor died, Mahmud Ghaznavi captured Lahore.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datt
So history is witness the very protectors of grandson of prof. Mohammed grandson were killed by Sunni Ghaznavi muslims. And today our Indian muslims call Ghaznavi as their heroes. Such a sad state of muslims who have no knowledge of history and the history in Pakistan is so distorted that they no nothing from this stories. While the Hindus should be their heroes and protectors they claim they are ancestory of the enemies/arabs. so sad for their ignorance.
very good link with details

Chach ruled (c. 610-671)[. Chach expanded the kingdom of Sindh, and his successful efforts to subjugate surrounding monarchies and ethnic groups into an empire covering the entire Indus valley and beyond were recorded in the Chach Nama.
Upon his deathn 671AD, Chach was succeeded by Chandar; Chandar is stated to have ruled for eight years, whereupon Dahir, Chach’s eldest son, inherited the throne.

This is also why there are so may poetries written Sindhi about the battle of Karbala.
The mawali; new non-Arab converts; who were usually allied with Hajjaj’s political opponents and thus were frequently forced to participate in the Jihads on the frontier – such as Kabul, Sindh and Transoxania.[5] Through conquest, the Umayyads intended to protect its maritime interest, while also cutting off refuge for fleeing rebel chieftains as well as Sindhi military support to the Sassanid. As supply lines were cut off from Sindhi Raja Dahirit was difficult for him to fight without food supplies.

read about Chach Nama was written by Kàzí Ismáíl, who was appointed the first Kází of Alór by Muhammad Kásim after the conquest of the Sindh.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chach_Nama
The Chach Nama is the oldest chronicle of the Arab conquest of Sindh. It was translated into Persian by Muhammad Ali bin Hamid bin Abu Bakr Kufi in 1216 CE[2] from an earlier Arabic text believed to have been written by the Thaqafi family (relatives of Muhammad bin Qasim). It was considered a romance until Mountstuart Elphinstone’s observations of its historical accuracy.
The Chach Nama describes Raja Dahir as a Pushkarna Brahmin king, son of Chach of Aror, who ascended the throne at the death of his uncle Chandar. Dahir’s sister, Dahar, grew up in Aror with their elder brother Dahar-Sena (who arranged her marriage to King Sohan of Bhatia). She then moved to the capital, Aror, with Dahir before her marriage. However, to avoid a prophecy that her husband would rule a strong kingdom from his capital at Aror, Dahir is reported to have married her; the marriage resulted in severe criticism and a conflict with their brother, Dahar-Sena.[3] This account, based on Chach Nama, may be an attempt by a Muslim to malign Hinduism. Dahar-Sena assembled an army and marched on Dahir, but died of sunstroke while besieging Dahir at Aror. Dahir then subdued the area, consolidating his base of support base by executing his nephew Chach (Dahar-Sena’s son). He married his brother’s widow, who was the sister of Sarhand Lohanah (a chieftain who commanded the allegiance of several Jat tribes).
Eight years later, Dahir’s kingdom was invaded by Ramal at Kannauj. After initial losses, the enemy advanced on Aror and he allied himself with Alafi, an Arab. Alafi and his warriors (who were exiled from the Umayyad caliph) were recruited; they led Dahir’s armies in repelling the invading forces, remaining as valued members of Dahir’s court. In a later war with the caliphate, however, Alafi served as a military advisor but refused to take an active part in the campaign; as a result, he later obtained a pardon from the caliph.
By the way chachnama is written by enemy after dahir death
Until I read the chachnama book I, too, believed that the Arabs invaded Sindh because a ship en route from Serendip (Sri Lanka) to Arabia was plundered by Sindhi pirates and the wailing of the captive Muslim women passengers raised the ire of Hujaj bin Yusuf, the governor of Iraq, causing him to send his cousin MbQ to teach the Sindhis a lesson. but this is not true.
Dahir certainly possessed some remarkable characteristics. He was exceptionally brave and fearless. Acts of bravery, are found even among his enemies, the Arab invaders. As described by the ancient historians, Raja Dahir is the tragedy of a man who set out to take lessons in being a king. His flaw was his willingness to place his faith in the external factors: stars, destiny, enemies and friends. By the time Dahir learnt his lessons, it was too late for him to live like a king. The only option left before him by then was to die like one.

Muhammad Bin Qasim’s age is also disputed. He was the commander of an army of about 6000 Iraqi and Syrian soldiers that was dispatched to Sindh. Do you really believe that Caliph will trust a 16 year old youngster to lead that big army? In the history books, his age was reduced to glorify his achievements but his actual age is believed to be around 34 when he invaded Sindh

More about death of mohammed bin qassim and how raja dahir daughters had him killed
read about Chach Nama was written by Kàzí Ismáíl, who was appointed the first Kází of Alór by Muhammad Kásim after the conquest of the Sindh.
Chachnama, a Sindhi translation of the original book published by the Sindhi Adabi Board in 2008, speaks of Muhammad bin Qasim’s demise on page 242 to 243. I will try to summarise it for you.
After Raja Dahar was killed, two of his daughters were made captive, whom Muhammad Bin Qasim sent to the capital Damascus. After a few days, the Caliph of the Muslims called the two young women to his court. The name of the elder daughter of Raja Dahar was Suryadevi, while the younger one’s name was Pirmaldevi.
Caliph Waleed Bin Abdul Malik fell for Suryadevi’s extraordinary beauty. He ordered for her younger sister to be taken away. The Caliph then began to take liberties with Suryadevi, pulling her to himself.
It is written that Suryadevi sprang up and said: “May the king live long: I, a humble slave, am not fit for your Majesty’s bedroom, because Muhammad Bin Qasim kept both of us sisters with him for three days, and then sent us to the caliphate. Perhaps your custom is such, but this kind of disgrace should not be permitted by kings.”
Hearing this, the Caliph’s blood boiled as heat from anger and desire both compounded within him.
Blinded in the thirst of Suryadevi’s nearness and jealousy of Bin Qasim who had robbed him of the purity he would otherwise have had, the Caliph [sic] immediately sent for pen, ink and paper, and with his own hands wrote an order, directing that, “Muhammad (Bin) Qasim should, wherever he may be, put himself in raw leather and come back to the chief seat of the caliphate.”
Muhammad Bin Qasim received the Caliph’s orders in the city of Udhapur. He directed his own men to wrap him in raw leather and lock him in a trunk before taking him to Damascus.
En route to the capital, Muhammad Bin Qasim, conqueror to some, predator to others, breathed his last and his soul departed to meet with the Creator in whose name he claimed to crusade in Sindh.
When the trunk carrying Muhammad Bin Qasim’s corpse wrapped in raw leather reached the Caliph’s court, the Caliph called upon Dahar’s daughters, asking them to bear witness to the spectacle of obedience of his men for the Caliph.
One of Dahar’s daughter’s then spoke in return and said: “The fact is that Muhammad Qasim was like a brother or a son to us; he never touched us, your slaves, and our chastity was safe with him. But in as much as he brought ruin on the king of Hind and Sind, desolated the kingdom of our fathers and grandfathers, and degraded us from princely rank to slavery, we have, with the intention of revenge and of bringing ruin and degradation to him in return, misrepresented the matter and spoken a false thing to your majesty against him.”
The author of the Chachnama then writes that had Muhammad Bin Qasim not lost his senses in the passion of obedience, he could have made the whole journey normally, while wrapping himself in raw leather and locking himself in a trunk only when a part of the journey remained to be covered.
He could have then proven himself innocent in the Caliph’s court and saved himself from such a fate.

Dear ,
Try to understand, This is matter of HAQ (sachchayi per chalne wali ) & BATIL (burayi per chalane wala),,Hussain a/s and his mate were on HAQ & Yazid and his mate were on BATIL.
This is not matter of Hindu & Muslim..One who support Mohammad s/a and his family were on HAQ..
Be remember: One who killed hindus and if they ( hindus )were on HAQ then we should never support such type of muslims..,and one who killed muslims and if they (muslims) were on HAQ then we should never support such type of hindus..

It’s not always about the religion so far as it’s about the greed and worldly possessions you can be a Muslim or a Jew or a Hindu and still an arsehole. Take this example a teacher teaches you to do maths using certain formulas but instead you either don’t use them at all or amalgamate.

issue between shia sunni is that of deciet after profhet mohd dies the rich business man wanted power but actually power should be with prophet family as per quran. so they fight…and so sunni corrupted religious text to suit them and later even came with wahabi and salafi text to suit them. till toiday they rule are not true followers. if they were followers of profet why they killed all future generation of prophet.

At the time of the war at Karbala, fought in 681 AD, which led to a schism amongst the Muslim community into Sunnis and Shias, Rahib Sidh Datt was a highly esteemed figure in Arabia due to his close relations with the family of Prophet Mohammed. When Hassan ibn Ali, the grandson of Muhammad was murdered, his younger brother, Hussain, came out to oppose the new Caliph, Yazid ibn Muawiyah. The vastly superior forces of Yazid, at Karbala surrounded his force consisting of seventy two men. Hussain was fatally wounded by Shamer, the commander of Yazid, and died after Shemr cut Hussain’s head off in the desert on the tenth day of Muharram (Today observed as the Day of Ashura. Yazid’s army later left the desert with the severed head of Hussain, up to Kufa. Later, the head was carried to Damascus and finally buried with the rest of the body at Karbala. In the revenge war, Rahib fought on the side of Mukhtar and sacrificed his seven sons in the bloody war.

Datt or Dutt is a Mohyal Brahmin clan from Jammu, Punjab, and Haryana. Dutt is a warrior clan of Mohyal Brahmins.[1] They are one of the seven clans of the Mohyals who are Saraswat Brahmins.

Some Datt Brahmins migrated eastward and mingled with Bhumihar Brahmins and became one with them.[2]

records confirm that some Hindus did join Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad, when he was through a bloody battle against Yezid at Karbala (in Iraq) on October 10, 680 AD.
The sect, which was later named Hussaini Brahmin, had settled on the banks of river Euphrates. Subsequently, they returned to India and assumed various titles like Datts, Mohiyals, Tyagis and many others.

Rahab Singh Dutt, an upper-caste Hindu belonging to Mohyal community traveled all the way to Iran, along with his sons to join Imam Hussain, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad in the war of Karbala. The famous battle was fought against caliph Yazeed, who had turned corrupt and spread a cruel rule in the region of al-sham (the area which is now demarcated as Iraq, Iran and Syria). Since the grandson of prophet took objection to his unjust methods, Yazeed launched a war against him.

In the holy war when no Muslim King came to help Hussain. Rahab fought On his side mld sacrificed his seven sons (named Sahas Rai. Haras Rai, Sher Khan, Rai Pun, Ram Singh, Dharoo and Poroo) in the bloody war.

Dutt did not die in the battle, but his seven sons who accompanied him lost their lives shortly after the beheading of Imam Hussain. After the battle, he met Hussain’s sister, Zainab and narrated his story.

“The history of Husaini Brahmans (also known as MOHYAL BRAHMINS) 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.

A grieving Rahab returned to the land of his ancestors, and after staying in Afghanistan, returned to Lahore.

On their arrival in India, the descendants of Rihab were received with great hospitality by the native Mohyals. They eventually settled near Nankana Sahib in the district of Sheikhupura in present-day Pakistan. It was here that in the closing decades of the tenth century an interesting incident took place involving a pro-caliphate Pir called Wahun – a trickster chess player, and Shiv Datt – the chief of the Datts. Wahun was known for his knack of invariably winning the games. According to a bet fixed by him, the loser would either pay the price with his head or embrace Islam.

When Wahun came to know that one of the ancestors of Shiv Datt had sacrificed his seven sons for the sake of Muhammad in the battle of Karbala, he took a solemn vow that in the future he would never convert any Hindu by coercion to Islam. It was on this occasion that the Pir echoed the famous words: Wah Datt Sultan, Hindu ka Dharam Musalman ka Iman(Hail, O King Datt for Thou are endowed with the Dharma of the Hindu and the Iman of the Muslim). Many direct descendants of Rahib Dutt use last names such as Dutt, Datt, Sharma, Bharadwaj.

The Hussaini Brahmins thrived in the regions of Pakistan in the pre-independence era. The community members are identified with surnames such as Mohan, Bali, Chibber, Dutt, Bakshi, Lav, Bimwal and Jhingran. After the partition, they migrated to India and settled in various parts of the nation.

The Hussaini Brahmins is a community that has an intertwined link with Hinduism and Islam. It is said that their ancestor, Rahab Sidh Datt had fought for Imam Hussain in the battle of Karbala on 10th Muharram in 680 AD, sacrificing seven of his sons. The community that came alive hence, came to be known as Hussaini Brahmins. They are now spread across Sindh in Pakistan, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Kashmir, Delhi and other parts of India, Pakistan and Arabia.

The community of Hussaini Brahmins bears its lineage to the Mohyal Brahmins. They are primarily a part of the Datt clan of Mohyals. The first reference of their existence can be found in the history of Datts. The General Mohyal Sabha was first established in 1891

Hindus, who fought and sacrificed their lives in the holy war of Karbala, are the descendants of Ashwathama, the Hindu saint.

The Martyr’s List at Qum verifies this. History records when the third thrust by Yazid’s forces came, the Dutt brothers refused to let them pass. The seven Punjabi swordsmen stood their ground till they were felled by hundreds of horsemen.

It says that one of the wives of Hazrat Imam Husain, the Persian princess Shahr Banu, was the sister of Chandra Lekha or Mehr Banu, the wife of an Indian king Chandragupta.

After some time, Shiv Datt along with a long number of followers left Nankana Sahib and moved to Dipalpur, where they lived in peace and harmony until Mahmud Ghaznavi attacked Dipalpur in 1001 AD and uprooted them from there. The Datts along with other Saraswat Brahmins fought against Ghaznavi’s forces but they were vastly outnumbered. There were 5,000 Brahmins fighting against 85,000 soldiers of Ghaznavi. Many were killed and remaining Brahmins (mostly Datts) migrated to the Shahi kingdom of Raja Anandpal in Lahore. When Anandapala and his successor died, Mahmud Ghaznavi captured Lahore.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datt

When it became clear that Yazid ibn Muawiya was determined to eliminate Hussain ibn Ali, the son of Hussain (named Ali) rushed off a letter to Chandragupta asking for assistance. The Mauriyan king, allegedly, dispatched a large army to Iraq to assist. By the time they arrived, the Tragedy of Karbala had taken place.

In Kufa in Iraq a disciple of Hazrat Imam Husain is said to have arranged for them to stay in a special part of the town, which even today is known by the name of Dair-i-Hindiya or ‘the Indian quarter’

It was from these Brahmins that the Arabs learnt the science of Mathematics, Astrology, Algebra and decimal notation which were first developed in India.

Since then, so the belief goes, Muslims were instructed never to try to convert the Dutts to Islam.

all the stories are from muslim/persian writers
so enemy will not tell good things about enemey
so why they write this to please the hindus..stupid.

I have seen known a family which lives in pune who have Hussaini Brahaman ancestry. if you look at comments in the post you will see that there is one hussaini brahmin as well.

Sunil dutt his son sunjay dutt are hussaini Brahmins

I thought it was very well know surprised so few people know about it

in india most peple like shias bec they are not into terrorism, and live peacefully, bjp to has shia leaders bec of the same reason I guess

many muslima think india and Arabia had no links till the invasion of sind

buts they will be surprised many hindia lived in Arabia as it was a trading centre
the world first mosque is in cochi in kerala, build by arab traders on land donated by hindu raja
there were no mosque in Arabia then,

the trader need a place to pray and hence the mosque in kerala it was in prof moahameds time

Can you please elaborate a little more about the era of Imam Hussain (a.s) and Raja Dahir i.e; as under:-
“So then why did mohammmed bin qasim attack sindh is it not because Imman hussein family was given shelter by sindh hindu king raja dahir and mohammed bin qasim mission was to kill them / get them back”?
