Historical accounts say seven brave warriors from Lahore died while fighting in the Battle of Karbala. It is said their father Rahab Dutt, an old man who traded with Arabia in those days, had promised the Holy Prophet (Peace be upon him) to stand by his grandson in his fight to uphold the truth.

That pledge the brave Rajput Mohiyals of the Dutt clan from Lahore upheld.

Today they are known as Hussaini Brahmins, who lived in Lahore till 1947.

Then there is the fact that besides the Hindu Rajputs of Lahore, in the battle also fought John bin Huwai, a freed Christian slave of Abu Dharr al-Ghafari, whose `alleged` descendents, one researcher claims, still live inside the Walled City of Lahore.

LOL Sounds straight from a Bollywood movie.

Guys if you know nothing, better don't use the foul language

The stories mentioned in the first two articles about Hussaini Brahmin are quite famous. I heard them long time ago but there is a missing part in that story... which really tells about the reason why Brahmin decided to save the head of Imam Hussain R.A.

There is no historical record proving such an incident ever took place however those who believes the story says that every child born in their community still has a mark on their neck or throat.
