Amroha - Land of Mangoes and Carps

Economy of Amroha is closely intricate with the private market based dynamics. There are no/least employment/jobs in Amroha as there are no industries in and around the city. Most of the people earn their bread by sales of various commodities like vegetables, fruits, meat, clothes and similar things. Similarly, they are also providing services like saloon, electrician, plumber etc. No doubt that these services are essential to keep economy moving by providing essential daily perks to skill less people.

The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act or Right to Education Act (RTE), is an Indian legislation enacted by the Parliament of India on 4 August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21a of the Indian Constitution.

Iqra bismi rabbi-ka alladhi khalaq,   i.e. read in the name of your Lord who created (the Holy Quran, 95:1). It is very common belief that this was the first verse which was revealed to Prophet Mohammad (sw) in the cave of  HIRA . It is apparently clear that Allah begins his conversation with Prophet (sw) with this particular word “IQRA”. This word in arabic means READ. Normally if anyone wants to start conversation with someone first time, he generally start with the notion “listen or see” but here Allah directly said IQRA.  Wallahalam  whatever be the circumstances but Allah stressed out the importance of reading.  Similarly Prophet said “Acquire knowledge for that you even if you have to go to China”.

In this introduction there is no need to explain the importance of education. We

I am creating this blog to connect those people who are related to amroha and witness its vast cultural diversity and rich history of brotherhood. Every person who is related with this city has some unique reason for his/her association with amroha. Many people came from abroad every year to refresh their memories  and to take pride that they belongs to the city of Syed Sharffudin Shah Wilayat Sahab who came to India in late medieval times. He established the syed sadaat in amroha with the holistic vision of creating awareness about Almighty and his appointed Prophet and his progeny among the local tribes. He had done a wonderful job and give community new direction to lay down new social fabric. After many years Muharram juloos had been started by some anonymous personality. It was the turning point in the history which was going to shape the whole cultural setup in developing amroha sadaat. Since 400 years of azadari we have changed a lot with changing social and cultural values.
