Thanks to @AanchalMalhotra @NavdhaM @amanmadra for the kind of interest and effort you put into researching history, places, and people. It's really an inspiration for people like me to research and write this thread on family’s military history.

In pursuit of a prayer - The Museum of Material Memory has added my story of 2 books and a hand written Sufi prayer to its virtual collection. These date back to the 1870s and have been handed down through family generations. #museumofmaterialmemory https://t.co/62ezkVW8iM
