Freelance writer and San Thome resident Tasneem Akbari Kutubuddin has launched a new project and it is online – it is named BohrasOfMadras.com” ( this is the URL of the web site).
Tasneem says that she has been documenting the history of her community for some years and now feels it must all come to be in one digital space.
This web space will feature the rich history of the Dawoodi Bohra Muslims in Chennai and also narrate interesting tales of the pioneers and those who have contributed immensely.
Tasneem invites Dawoodi Bohra Muslims to share their own life stories.
Tasneem is supported in this venture by Zehra Aliakbar, Sarrah Jawed, Abbas Akbari and Batul Safder Hussain.
“We welcome pictures, tributes, snippets and biographies that may add value to our documentation,” says Tasneem, whose family has deep roots in George Town.
