Bohra Muslims

PM Modi has shared an old and warm relationship with the Dawoodi Bohras for many years.

This event was part of PM Modi's second visit to Mumbai in less than a month, ahead of the upcoming elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) - the richest civic body in India.

The Supreme Court today referred to a larger nine-judge bench to decide the plea against the practice of excommunication in the Dawoodi Bohra community.

The Supreme Court Monday referred to a five-judge constitution bench the plea challenging practice of female genital mutilation among Dawoodi Bohra Muslims.

Praising the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community for its contribution to the country, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said today that the concept of 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam', the world is one family, gives India an identity different from all other countries.

The Supreme Court on Monday said the practice of female genital mutilation in the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community is violative of Article 21 and Article 15 of the Constitution that guarantees protection of life and personal liberty and prohibits discrimination on grounds of religion, race, caste, sex or place of birth.

The Centre today told the Supreme Court that it supported the petition opposing the practice of female genital mutilation in the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community.

The Supreme Court on Monday questioned the practice of female genital mutilation of minor girls in the Dawoodi Bohra Muslim community, saying it violates the bodily "integrity" of a girl child.

Representatives of Muslim groups like Majlis Ulema e Hind, Jamat Ulema e Hind, and Dawoodi Bohra community met the yoga minister Shripad Naik today, and voiced their support to government's grand plans for yoga day on June 21. This comes as a huge face saver for the central government
