The Dawoodi Bohra community, with roots in western India, has a global presence across more than 40 countries. They trace their spiritual lineage to the Fatimid Imams of Egypt, believed to be direct descendants of Prophet Muhammad. For the last 450 years, the community has followed the guidance of the al-dai al-mutlaq (unrestricted missionary), with its religious leadership headquartered in India since migrating from Yemen.
The delegation’s visit underscores the community’s continued engagement with national leadership and support for progressive legislative reform.
