"One of the most famous Shia matamdar in Mumbai is Ali Shah, he is a scourger and a kama matam exponent , his back has no place for further scourging, but he scourges year after year."
"The Shia cemetery surroundings are very crowded on Chehlum, and everythinh happens in the narrow passages that lead to the graves , every mound is occupied, and the veterans here dont give the novice a chance to scourge, this is their territory for the first half hour, and once the crowd receedes one could step out and shoot..but this is one tough assignment of faith..for the scourger and the photographer too.."
