Zohran-Urdu, Hindi, Arabic-"flower; to shine"
Zohran
Origin and Meaning-The name Zohran is a boy's name of Arabic origin
meaning "flower; to shine".Strong and bright, Zohran is an Indian and
Pakistani name, derived from the Arabic Zahran, meaning "flowers,
blossoms" or "to shine", depending on whether you trace its roots to the
floral zahr or to the vibrant zahara. Pronounced as zuh-RAN or zo-HRAN,
it is notably borne by New York politician Zohran Mamdani.
Origin and meaning of the Mamdani last name
The
surname Mamdani has its roots in the Indian subcontinent, particularly
among the Muslim communities of South Asia. It is believed to derive
from the Arabic word Mamdūn, which means one who is praised or one who
is commendable. The name likely emerged during the medieval period, when
Islamic influence began to permeate the region, particularly during the
Delhi Sultanate and Mughal Empire. Over time, individuals bearing the
surname may have been associated with various occupations, including
scholars, merchants, and landowners, reflecting the socio-economic
dynamics of their communities. The surname is often linked to a sense of
respect and honor, suggesting that those who carried it were regarded
as reputable members of society.Culturally, the surname Mamdani has
variations in spelling and pronunciation across different regions,
particularly in South Asia and among diaspora communities. In some
instances, it may be spelled as Mamdani or Mamdani, reflecting local
linguistic influences. The surname has spread geographically through
migration patterns, particularly during the British colonial period,
when many South Asians moved to different parts of the world, including
Africa, Europe, and North America. In these new contexts, the name has
retained its cultural significance while adapting to the local milieu,
often associated with the contributions of its bearers to their
respective communities.Notable figures associated with the Mamdani
surname include Mahmood Mamdani, a prominent Ugandan academic and
political commentator known for his work on post-colonial studies and
African politics. His contributions have brought recognition to the
surname, particularly within academic circles, and have highlighted the
historical and cultural narratives of the communities from which he
hails. The Mamdani name, therefore, carries with it a legacy of
intellectual engagement and social responsibility, reflecting the
broader historical context of migration, cultural exchange, and the
evolving identities of its bearers.
Democrat Zohran Mamdani
elected mayor of New York City | CBC News Loaded-Voter turnout was
highest the city has seen in decades-The Associated Press · Posted: Nov

Zohran Mamdani
was elected mayor of New York City on Tuesday, capping a stunning ascent
for the 34-year-old state lawmaker, who was set to become the city's
most liberal mayor in generations.In a victory for the Democratic
party's progressive wing, Mamdani defeated former New York governor
Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa. Mamdani must now navigate the
unending demands of America's biggest city and deliver on ambitious —
skeptics say unrealistic — campaign promises.With the victory, the
self-described democratic socialist will etch his place in history as
the city's first Muslim mayor, the first of South Asian heritage and the
first born in Africa. He will also become the city's youngest mayor in
more than a century when he takes office on Jan. 1.Mamdani's account on
the social media platform X posted a video of a subway train pulling up
to City Hall station, with an announcement that said, "The next and last
stop is City Hall."Mamdani's unlikely rise gives credence to Democrats
who have urged the party to embrace more progressive, left-wing
candidates instead of rallying behind centrists in hopes of winning back
swing voters who have abandoned the party.He has already faced scrutiny
from national Republicans, including President Donald Trump, who have
eagerly cast him as a threat and the face of what they say is a more
radical Democratic Party.Huge voter turnout-More than two million people
voted in New York City's mayoral election, according to the city's
Board of Elections, the strongest turnout since 1969.The campaign laid
bare the Democratic Party's generational and ideological divides as it
seeks to rehabilitate its damaged brand.Mamdani managed to energize
progressives to score a surprise victory in the Democratic primary over
Cuomo — the once-powerful former governor — with a campaign that focused
on lowering the cost of living in one of the country's most expensive
cities.a man and woman stand side by side near a polling station-He
generated national buzz and won endorsements from big-name progressives,
including U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders and U.S. Rep. Alexandria
Ocasio-Cortez.His campaign promises included raising taxes on the
richest New Yorkers and using the money to make city buses free and
provide free, universal child care. He has also promised to freeze rent
for people living in about one million rent-regulated apartments.Zohran
Mamdani is shaking up New York’s mayoral race with a socialist platform
that includes rent control and public transportation. The front-runner’s
message is drawing both support and backlash from the city’s financial
elite, including the U.S. president.But not everyone embraced the
34-year-old assemblyman.Mamdani's past criticism of the city's police
department and the Israeli government's military actions in Gaza — which
he has called genocidal — have unnerved some centrists who see him as a
potential setback in their effort to broaden the party's national
appeal. Some Jewish leaders have also seized on his refusal to support
Israel as a Jewish state, calling him a danger to Jews.While Mamdani has
distanced himself from some of his past rhetoric on policing, some top
New York Democrats remain concerned and have either been slow to endorse
him or outright refused to.Trump has also threatened to take over the
city if Mamdani wins, as well as arrest and deport the state assembly
member, who was born in Uganda but is a U.S. citizen.Trump reluctantly
endorsed Cuomo on the eve of the election, saying Mamdani would bring
"disaster" to the city and encouraging Republican Curtis Sliwa backers
to vote for Cuomo instead.But the former governer was unable to mount a
successful political comeback four years after he resigned in the face
of sexual harassment allegations, which he denies.Ambitious
agenda-Mamdani, who was criticized throughout the campaign for his thin
resume, will now have to begin staffing his incoming administration
before taking office next year and game out how he plans to accomplish
the ambitious but polarizing agenda that drove him to victory.Among the
campaign's other promises are city-run grocery stores and a new
Department of Community Safety that would send mental health-care
workers to handle certain emergency calls rather than police officers.It
is unclear how Mamdani will pay for such initiatives, given Democratic
Gov. Kathy Hochul's steadfast opposition to his calls to raise taxes on
wealthy people.Other elections-In other elections Tuesday, Democrats won
in both states that were electing governors .Former representative
Abigail Spanberger will become Virginia's next governor — and the first
woman elected for the job — after running a campaign focused largely on
the economy, public safety and health care. She actively distanced
herself from some of the Democratic Party's far-left policies.In New
Jersey, U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill shored up Democratic control of a state
that has been reliably blue in presidential and Senate contests but had
shown signs of shifting rightward in recent years.Sherrill, a former
navy helicopter pilot and four-term member of Congress, defeated Jack
Ciattarelli, who was endorsed by Trump.With files from CBC News and

Shia (Shi'a) Muslim Countries
Islam is a religion that
was formed by the prophet Muhammad. Following his death in 632 CE,
Islam broke off into two distinct groups: Sunni and Shia. These groups
disagreed over who the successor to Muhammad should be. While Sunni
muslims chose Abu Bakr as the successor of Mohammad, Shia designated Ali
Abi Talib.Years of conflict has occurred between Sunni and Shia Muslim
groups. Perhaps the most noticeable of these conflicts was the killing
of the Imam Husayn, which occurred in 680 CE. October 10 is still
considered a day of mourning for Shia Muslims. However, despite these
differences, today both Sunni and Shia agree on Allah as the one true
God and Muhammad as his messenger. They also uphold the five pillars of
Islam and believe in the Koran, Islam’s holy book. Currently, there are
1.6 billion Muslims around the world with Shia Muslims accounting for
almost 20%. While most global Muslims are Sunni, a handful of countries
have Shia majorities or pluralities. These countries are outlined below.
Shia Countries
Iran
- 90-95%-In Iran, Shia Muslims make up the majority, with 92.2% of all
Muslim population in the country belonging to this sect. Initially, Iran
was a Sunni majority until 1500 when Shah Ismail I conquered Iran and
forced a conversion of Sunni Muslims to Shia Islam with several Sunnis
murdered in the process. The conversion and murdering of Sunni Muslims
continued for two centuries during which the number of Shia Muslims
increased immensely. Currently, only about 5% of Muslims in Iran are
Sunni. Other religious groups in the country are Christians, Jews, and
Zoroastrians. Atheism is not allowed in Iran, and most must declare
themselves as a member of one of the four religions in the country. The
constitution of Iran recognizes Shia as the official religion in the
country.
Azerbaijan - 65-75%-Azerbaijan and Iran were both conquered
by Shah Ismail I around the same time where he also forced a conversion
of Sunnis to Shia Islam. Azerbaijan has the second highest Shia Muslim
population in the world accounting for 83.6% of the total population
while the sect accounts for 85% of the Muslim population in the country.
Sunni accounts for only 15% of the country’s total population. Most of
the Shia population in Azerbaijan follows the orthodox Ithna Ashari and
orthodox Hanafi school of Shia Islam. Religious extremism is on the rise
among the Shia Muslims in Azerbaijan due to the persistent poverty,
corruption, and disillusionment on the support from the West. Some of
the sect members have joined terrorist groups in Syria.
Iraq -
65-70%-63.7% of the Iraq’s national population is made up of Shia
Muslims. The sect accounts for 63% of all Muslims in Iraq. The country
is home to some of the Shia common pilgrimage sites and holy cities
including Najaf, the tomb of Ali ibn Abi Talib, Muhammad’s successor and
Karbala, the tomb of Husayn ibn Ali, Muhammad’s grandson. Shia
continues to fight Sunni Muslims in the country as a result of US
inversion of Iraq in 2003. The tension between the sects has led to 2.7
million people being displaced from their homes.
Other Countries With
Shia Majority-Bahrain and Lebanon also have a notable number of Shia
Muslims forming a majority of their population. 65-70% of Bahrain's
population identify with Shia Islam. In Lebanon, 45-55% of the national
population is Shia.
Shia (Shi'a) Muslim Countries
Rank Country Percentage of Muslim Population That is Shia (%)
1 Iran 90-95
2 Azerbaijan 65-75
3 Bahrain 65-70
4 Iraq 65-70
5 Lebanon 45-55
6 Yemen 35-40
7 Kuwait 20-25
8 Syria 15-20

Zohran
Mamdani’s last name reflects centuries of intercontinental trade,
migration and cultural exchange-Published: July 14, 2025 8.37am
EDT-Author-Iqbal Akhtar-Associate Professor of Religious Studies,
Florida International University.
When Zohran Mamdani announced
his candidacy for mayor of New York City, political observers noted his
progressive platform and legislative record. But understanding the
Democratic candidate’s background requires examining the rich cultural
tapestry woven into his very surname: Mamdani.He takes the name from his
father, Mahmood Mamdani, a prominent academic who was raised in Uganda
and whose work focuses on postcolonial Uganda. I studied the history of
the Khoja community for my doctoral work and have helped develop Khoja
studies as an academic discipline. The Mamdani surname tells a story of
migration, resilience and community-building that spans centuries and
continents.The Khoja history-Mamdanis in Uganda belong to the Khoja
community, a South Asian Muslim merchant caste, that shaped economic
development across the western Indian Ocean for centuries.The name
originates from greater Sindh, a region in South Asia that today
includes southeastern Pakistan and Kachchh in western India.Its
etymology is twofold. Mām is an honorific title in Kachchhi and Gujarati
languages, meaning kindness, courage and pride. Māmadō is a local
version of the name Muhammad that often appeared in surnames in Hindu
castes that converted to Islam, such as the Memons.The Khoja were
categorized by the British in the early 19th century as “Hindoo
Mussalman” because their traditions spanned both religions.Written by
academics, edited by journalists, backed by evidence.Over time, the
Khoja came to be identified only as Muslim and then primarily as Shiite
Muslim. Today, the majority of Khoja are Ismaili: a branch of Shiite
Islam that follows the Aga Khan as their living imam.The Mamdani family,
however, is part of the Twelver community of Khoja, whose Twelfth Imam
is believed to be hidden from the world and only emerges in times of
crisis. Twelvers believe he will help usher in an age of peace during
end times.Around the late 18th century, the Khoja helped export
textiles, manufactured goods, spices and gems from the Indian
subcontinent to Arabia and East Africa. Through this Western Indian
Ocean trading network, they imported timber, ivory, minerals and cloves,
among other goods.Khoja family firms were built on kinship networks and
trust. They built networks of shops, communal housing and warehouses,
and extended credit for thousands of miles, from Zanzibar in Tanzania to
Bombay – now Mumbai – on the western coast of India.Cousins and
brothers would send money and goods across the ocean with only a letter.
The precarious nature of trade in this period meant that families also
served as insurance for each other. In times of wealth, it was shared;
in times of disaster, help was available.Khoja contributions in
Africa-The Khoja became instrumental in building the commercial
infrastructure of eastern, central and southern Africa. But the Khoja
contribution to the development of Africa extended far beyond trade.In
the absence of colonial investment in public infrastructure, they helped
build institutions that formed the foundation of the modern
nation-states that emerged after colonization. The institutions both
facilitated trade and established permanent communities.For example, the
first dispensary and public school in Zanzibar were constructed by a
Khoja magnate, Tharia Topan, who made his wealth through the ivory and
clove trades. Topan eventually became so prominent that he was knighted
by Queen Victoria in 1890 for his service to the British Empire in
helping to end slavery in East Africa.The Khoja community continues to
invest in East Africa. The most famous example is the Aga Khan
Development Network, whose hospitals and schools operate in 30
countries. In places such as Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania, they are
considered the best.Khoja in Uganda-Like in other parts of Africa, the
Khoja settled in Uganda as a liaison business community to develop a
market to serve both African and European needs. The linguistic and
cultural knowledge, developed over centuries, helped facilitate business
despite the challenges of colonization.A Black man in a suit walking
with a woman and another dressed in traditional African attire.However,
in 1972, Ugandan dictator Idi Amin expelled all Asians – approximately
80,000 – forcing families like the Mamdanis into exile. These included
indentured laborers, who were brought in to help build the railroad and
farm during the British colonial period, and free traders, like the
Mamdani family.Amin saw them all as the same and famously said: “Asians
came to Uganda to build the railway. The railway is finished. They must
leave now.”The experience was a bitter one. Families lost everything,
and many left with only the clothes on their backs.Mahmood Mamdani, who
came from a Khoja merchant family, was 26 when he was exiled. Yet,
unlike most Ugandan Asians, he chose to go back. At Makerere University
in Kampala, Uganda’s capital, Mamdani set up the Institute for Social
Research, which helped to provide rigorous social science training to
Ugandan researchers trying to improve their society.While the earlier
generations of the Khoja tended to choose business or adjacent
professions, such as accounting, the subsequent generations –
particularly those educated in the West – embraced the knowledge economy
as professionals, academics and nonprofit leaders.Several of Mahmood
Mamdani’s generation of Khoja academics conducted path-breaking work on
Afro-Asian solidarity – a way of thinking about the world beyond
colonial categories, such as the category of religion as a separate
domain from the secular. These scholars, such as Tanzania’s Issa Shivji
and Abdul Sheriff, worked on creating solidarity among the newly
independent states of the Global South.Mahmood Mamdani is known for his
influential post-9/11 academic work, “Good Muslim, Bad Muslim,” which
examined how Muslim identities are stereotyped. He argued that these
identities are complex and varied, shaped by accumulated history and
present experiences.Interfaith identity-The Khoja community – known
globally as the Khoja Shia Ithnasheri Muslim Community – has developed
strong transnational connections. Today, they are concentrated in the
United Kingdom, Canada, United States and France. However, Khoja can be
found in almost any country in the world. In 2013, I met members of the
community in Hong Kong.The Khoja community plays an important role in
interfaith dialogue and global development initiatives. A prominent
Ismaili Khoja, Eboo Patel, the founder of Interfaith America, has
dedicated his life to pluralism and mutual understanding through
building up civil society.Zohran Mamdani’s mother, acclaimed filmmaker
Mira Nair, is Hindu by birth. This interfaith marriage exemplifies the
flexibility, diversity and tolerance of Khoja Islam, which has
historically navigated between Hindu and Islamic traditions.Whether
Mamdani’s policies prove practical remains to be seen, but his
background offers something valuable: a deep understanding of how
communities build resilience across generations and geographies.
