Re: Rasoolpur Village in Pakistan Boasts 100% Literacy and No Crime
Its amazing how these Aga Khanis know each other so well. I mean you could be in South Africa and they would still know many Aga Khani families in Bombay.. Like you, I too am curious as to know Aga Khanis manage to maintain such tight-knit social structures. Is it because its not a "growing faith"? In the muslim tradition, its usually said "Islam is the fastest growing faith". Nevermind that socially weakening structures. You noticed that?
With that I want you to read this and collect it with social strength issue we are talking about here

People living as a minority in a tough neighborhood have to become more resourceful by necessity. My first teacher was an Ismaeli, half the time as a kid my mother taught me and the other half I was taught by her, until she moved to Seattle back in 1999. After that my parents decided to give me some Islamic education, but my Dad used to hide behind door and listen sometimes if the Mullah isnt teaching me extra BS other than how to read Arabic.
The other half is mostly on education.
And guess what, all my friends in Canada and people who I deal with are either Ismaeli/Agha khani or Gujrati or both. Just by meeting one person, I get to meet a whole community.
