It is ironical that very little effort has ben made to create awareness about the immense contribution made by Chak rulers of Kashmir to protect persecution of Shias and promote Muharram related rituals during their reign. Two rulers Kaji Chak and Daulat Chak deserve special mention in this context.
It was Daulat Chak who revived the practice of reciting homily (khutba) with names of 12 holy Imams whereas Qazi Chak was the one to construct Imambara in 1518 in the valley.The blogger intends to write two three articles on the subject. Viewers are requested to enlighten with their suggestions and opinions. Appropriate references will also be given.
