India is a great nation which is an origin of a pure culture as well as a destination for people from around the world with various cultures and religions. India is the home to all the religions and religion minorities therefore; it is a very good area of research in terms of anthropological and social studies. The following study is concentrated mainly on the Shia Muslims in Mysore city. It has also a historical look upon formation of cultural identity of Shias in India. During the reign of the Arab traders, they introduced Islam into the South Indian state of Karnataka almost as soon as the faith was initiated in Saudi Arabia. Along with their faith, Muslims brought many products to the country. The Islamic presence and power in the state reached its greatest heights during the reigns of Hyder Ali and his son Tippu Sultan. Though killed by the British in 1799, Tippu Sultan was one of the only national leaders to defeat the British troops in battle and many Indians consider him a hero. The internal structure of Indian Muslims as a religio-ethnic group was quite complex. Shias Islam has deep-rooted influence in present and history of India from North to South with various Shia Muslim dynasties ruling Indian provinces from time to time.
