We are the Dawoodi Bohra community of Rawalpindi
The first Dawoodi Bohra settlers in Rawalpindi were invited by the East India Company to settle and do business in the newly established Northern Command Garrison city of the British Raj.
Extant records suggest that leaders of the community were actively involved in education and welfare projects in the city and had established a High School for the general public in 1899.
