CHITRAL: The followers of Prince Karim Aga Khan donated 400 cattle (yaks, goats, sheep and cows) as well as precious carpets and handmade items to Darbar Fund to express joy at visit of their spiritual leader to Chitral that is expected in mid-November.
These cattle were sold at Booni and the fund was deposited with Darbar Fund. MNA from Chitral Shahzada Muhauiddin was chief guest on the occasion of cattle sale point (mela) while MPA Ghulam Muhammad, Tehsil Nazim Mastuj Shahzada Sikandar and other notables of the area were also present on the occasion. Thousands of people visited the mela.
This is the first time that all expenditures for Prince Karim Aga Khan's visit to Chitral would be borne by the local faithful. The cattle and other items were donated on the appeal of Sardar Hussain, convener, Darbar Fund, Chitral.
All expenditures of the visit would be borne by the Darbar Fund and the spiritual leader and 49th Imam of the Ismaili community would be given a tumultuous welcome on his arrival. Sardar Hussain, regional convener of Darbar Fund, said their target for the fund was Rs10 million in which some six million had been collected from local Ismailis. He said uniformed volunteers had arrived from Boroghul and Yarkhun valley, hundreds kilometres away from here. A handicrafts and local fruit-exhibition show was also arranged side by side with the mela.
Kaneez Fatma, coordinator of Meraman Project, funded by empowerment through creative integration, had arranged the exhibition. She said some 380 local women were trained in different handicrafts and marketing.

The only thing we know for sure is that last time Hazar Imam gave didar to Chitral, he gave Didar in Gharam Chasma in the early morning and came by helicopter to give Didar late morning to Booni Jamat. He said next time He will go to more places but did not say how many.

Not agree with Alwaiza Rashida. There is no difference between sooooooooo OR so. There would be maximum 5 to 10 Darbars according to my latest riliable source information. I am from Chitral now migrated to London and I know the situatipon of Chitral more than Alwaiza Rashida. There might be so many darbars in the whole Chitral region where ismaili live<FONT face=Arial>.<BR><BR> ANY WAYS I AM THE FIRST o­nE WHO PREDICTED THE DARBAR DATES IN CHITRAL. </FONT>

The schedule of the visit between 9th November and 17 November is not known [assuming Singapore somewhere around 8 Nov] And according to the article below there are only 4 didars in Chitral which can easily be accommodated before 17th Nov. Unless Chitral is part of Central Asia visit which is early November then

CHITRAL: Prince Karim Aga Khan is expected to visit Chitral in the second week of November. The Aga Khan will be on a ten-day-long visit of Central Asian countries from October 28.
In this regard, the Ismaili community in Chitral is finalising arrangements to welcome their spiritual leader to the valley. The Aga Khan will meet the jamaat at four places in Chitral.

A Special Thought and Prayer for the Pakistan Jamat
For the past few days, and especially today as we continue to await the news of Mawlana Hazar Imam's visit to Canada and other places like Singapore and France, I feel very sad for the Jamat in Pakistan. The Imamat's (and I include our beloved 48th Imam in this) commitment and contribution to that country perhaps surpasses that of any other country in the world, and yet ironically it is a country that he might not be able to visit during the Golden Jubilee Year.
Security, volatility, political instability, violence has probably marred and prevented the Golden Jubilee visit from taking place, and I sincerely hope that Pakistan can come out of this rut in due course so that all its citizens can look forward to peace and prosperity in the years ahead.
To the Jamat in Pakistan we can all say - you are in our thoughts and prayers and we sincerely hope that Mawlana Hazar Imam will visit you sooner than you expect, and grant you a unique and incredibly satisfying Didar. May your wishes be fulfilled throught the Imam's love, affection and care for all of you, and his friendship with the people of Pakistan.

Pakistan Darbar
Has anyone heard any news about a possible date for darbar in Pakistan? I understand it may not happen during the Golden Jubilee year but perhaps next year. It is very important to me that I attend didar in my hometown of Karachi. I need to plan around my school year ahead of time so I may do this. I do not mind any rumors of news that is not confirmed. I can use these rumors to take every situation into account and put different scenarios together so I can use each scenario to schedule around my school so that I may attend darbar in my hometown.
Any tataive dates - pakistan
Admin <BR><BR>can u guss any dates for pakistan. will we be having darbar in the golden jubilee year before it ends o­n 13th Dec 2008.<BR><BR>Mowla we are waiting for you.

<P align=left>
It is sure it is very sad for Ismailis in Pakistan. They could not have a Darbar o­n the immense occasion of the Golden Jubilee. It is very sad because those people need a Darbar, but I am sure that Our Beloved Mawlana Hazer Imam will give to The Jamat of Pakistan a great and grant Darbar soon I hope. But let us focus o­n the situation in Afghanistan o­ne moment.
The Afghanistan country had kown o­ne of the terrible drama o;n the 20th century. Wars succesion with Russia, civil war and the violence and cruauty of taleebans had destroyed the country. But we must not think that today the situation is good. Taleebans make their return with the support of Al Qaida; and Ismailis there are AlQaida and Taleebans ennemies. Those terrorrits would not hesitate to massacre Hazaras (afghan ethny which Ismailis of Afghanistan come from).
And because of all security purposes Mawlana Hazer Imam will not give to the Jamoat of Afghanistan a Darbar In Kabul. But I understand this choice. It is the choice of our beloved Imam and we must respect that. And o;n the unique occasion of The Golden Jubilee we must not forget Ismailis in Afghanistan. i am not saying that because I am an Ismaili Afghan, I am saying that because I am Ismaili and every Ismailis in the world must think about and pray for all the Ismailis who do not receive a Darbar by our Beloved Imam.
We can all say, to the Jamoat of Afghanistan : you are o­n our thoughts and prayers, and we sincerely hope that Mawlana Hazer Imam will vist you sooner and give you a unique and incredible Darbar. May your wishes be fulfilled, may your dream become true, may your hope become strong and reality, may your lives be improved.
And I will not forget to have a thought for all Ismailis in Afghanistan and for all Ismailis who did not receive a Deedar o­n the Golden Jubilee, at the last Darbar in Paris.
