The myth of Hussaini Brahmins

A brahmin called Rishab Dutt fought alongside Imam Hussain and lost 7 of his sons too. He was killed in the battle of Karbala and their descendants are still known as Hussaini Brahmins.

There is no mention of any “Rishab Dutt” in the original list of Martyrs of Karbala. The story that a Brahmin Rishab Dutt fought alongside Imam Hussain in Karbala is first narrated in a 19th-century Punjabi poem (vaar) called Jangnama written by Muhammad Shah.

Even this 19th-century story is full of miracles. It says that decapitated Imam Hussain converted these Brahmins. Besides the scientific impossibility of a decapitated head converting people, one wonders how so the called “Hussaini Brahmins” remained Hindu if story were true.
