That's not completely true. If we follow the book ...After the death of Muhammad,

Muslims who accepted Abu Bakr - Called Sunni
Muslims who accepted Hazrat Ali - Called Shia
There was no diffrence of opinion between the sahaba!

Majority of the Shias that live in India are not from Hindu origin.


After the fall of the Safavid empire in Iran, there was a civil war and invasion by Afghans. Many people fled, and many fled to what is now India.

So the Shia "Indians" are descendants of those people. They still have very close ties to Iran Ethically and religiously. So, most of the Shia Indians look very Iranian.

All shias have close ties with Iran religiously and most of the shias in Pakistan have ethnic ties also.

:lol: in other words he is abusing Hindus and their cast by saying most Sunnis were converts in India hence Indian hindus looked down upon them. This clearly shows that Indian Hindus have so much hate for low cast own Hindus

Do you guys realize that its a troll bait by Indians so we start Shia - Sunni fights for their amusement? Forum rules prohibit ANY religious discussions. Please refrain from posting anymore. The thread will be closed soon anyway.

Shias don't believe that Umar R.A ,Abu bakar R.A , Usman R.A were good muslims

:lol: alpha you are also behaving like ignorant now.

They have differences over right to khilafat. whereas in Islam there is NO inheritance viz a viz right to governing or rule.


If there was any then Last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would have been instructed through wahi about handing over the rule to his relatives
Period.

Is there any differences between the Shia sects themselves or the Sunni sects themselves such as the manner in which they pray or is there just purely ideological differences ?

Majority of Shia muslims in South Asia come from cities like Shiraz, Nishapur, and Isfahan.


Of course there are many converts as well.
