This is ore historic, even before the iran revolution.Just like andhras follow sankranthi in america or inka clear ga chepalante NTR death anniversary in america by pulkas.When living in Hyderabad - and working for an audit company - one of my managers was a Shia Muslim - so I have a bit of knowledge emanating from my own personal interest in matters of theology plus his insights into Shias and Iran.There's even a road in Hyderabad named after Khomeini. Almost every visit of an Iranian president to India would not be complete without a visit to Hyderabad.There's a couple of corrections in what you wrote.While Iran has the highest number of Shias - it is not the only majority Shia country. Iraq, Bahrain and Azerbaijan are Shia majority countries. Because Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator - the general world population had no idea that Iraq was actually a majority Shia country - which is why after Saddam got killed the power went into the hands of the Shias in Iraq.Khomeini of course is a very significant figure for Shia Muslims not only in Iran but for observant Shia Muslims outside Iran too - which is why Indian Shia Muslims protest with his or Khameini's pictures. Khomeini was considered "MARJA" (someone who is fit to be followed) - so many Shia Muslims seek inspiration from him.

Every muslom country has shia population but I meant Iran has highest number of shia population. They have traditional links to India dating back to pre independence era….Nizam family had many alliances with Persian nobles, Chiran Palace inside KBR Park belongs to Princess Esra, a persian.Shias are allegiant to MARJA, and their association is purely religion and on cultural lines than political. Hence these morning ceremonies in India.

Outside the "BIG 4" audit firms - among the locally grown audit firms in the then AP - MBR & Co was probably in the top 2 audit firms along with Brahmaih.
