Ahmedabad: With an eye on a prosperous future, the Dawoodi Bohra community in Gujarat — synonymous with trade and enterprise — has decided to celebrate the 100th birthday of their spiritual leader Syedna Mohammad Burhanuddin Saheb in a rather unique way by holding a trade exhibition of the businesses of the community.
And they have on board Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the event. This is one of the major public events of the Bohra community that the CM is attending. The two-day Burhani Trade Expo, which will be inaugurated today morning at the Gujarat University Exhibition Hall, will showcase the businesses of around 150 Bohra community members from around the world across a variety of sectors.
Interestingly, a host of activities are happening as part of the centenary celebrations all around the world, but it is only in Ahmedabad that a trade expo is a part of the celebrations.
"This is a different and positive outlook of the community to improve our business prospects and of course showcase the talent that we have.
It may not have an immediate effect, but in the long term, the impact will be tremendous," said Juzar Kakkai, one of the key organisers of the event.
The invitation to Modi is only one more step ahead in the warm relations that the community and its leaders have shared over the past decade.
