91. Original Intention Behind Appointing Kaka²⁷: History says that in the last days of his life, Sayyed Imam Shah appointed Shana Kaka (who was a Leva Patidar) to serve the Pirana Dargah. His job was only to look after the grave of Imam Shah and to help individuals who converted from Hindu to Satpanthi [74:Page 137][88:Page 148]. Here “Kaka” is an Arabic word, which means “Servant”. The servants appointed by the Sayyeds, one as Mujawar to look after the Dargah and another to maintain contact with the followers, were called “Kaka” [50:Page 217, 220, 223 and 224][156:Page 38].

91.1. Distributing Pirana’s Earnings²⁸ Among Sayyeds: The main reason for bringing Kaka into the center of Pirana was the enmity and disputes among the sons of Nar Mohammad Shah²⁹. After his death, among the quarrelling sons, to ensure the unbiased distribution of Pirana’s earnings, realizing the need for a system, Nar Ali (another name of Mohammad Shah), increased the role of Kaka. To collect money, appointed one main Kaka from the sub-Kakas. According to researchers, actually, the seat of Kaka is an inexhaustible storehouse of conspiracies, deceit and machinations. Over time, on the strength of money, the power of Kaka gradually increased. They started considering themselves as religious gurus and supreme authority of the sect [156:Page 38, 39, 46, 55, 57, 58][38:Page 446][122:Page printed as 60 (but actually 62)][158:Page 216, 219][74:Page 135 to 137].

91.2. Kaka’s 2 Names, One Hindu and One Muslim: Traditionally, Kaka has two names, one Hindu name and the other Satpanthi name, meaning Muslim name. For example, “Naya” Kaka was called “Pir Nasiruddin” [156:Page 51]. Similarly “Karsan” Kaka was called “Pir Karim” [50:Page 217].

91.3. Appointment of Sub-Kaka: According to the constitution, the main Kaka of Pirana is appointed from among the sub-Kakas. And the appointment of sub-Kakas, according to Clause 18 of the constitution, is solely under the control of the Sayyeds. So, the sub-Kakas are of the Sayyeds’ choice. From these sub-Kakas chosen by the Sayyeds, the main Kaka is appointed [142:Page 37-Clause 18]. Then naturally, the main Kaka is also of the Sayyeds’ choice. So it is understood that this religion is indirectly controlled by Muslims, then why call it Hindu religion? It cannot be called so.

91.4. Religious Ceremony of Kaka performed by Sayyeds: When the Gadipati Kaka is appointed, his religious ceremony is performed by the Sayyeds. This is stated in Clause 6 of the administrative scheme mentioned in the constitution of Pirana [142:Page 35-Clause 6]. According to this constitution decided by the Civil Court of Ahmedabad, unless the Sayyeds perform the religious ceremony of Kaka, he cannot be appointed to the seat.

92. Hindu Appearance of Kaka Despite Being Muslim: Historians state that there are many examples where preachers of Islam adopted the guise of a Brahmin or Hindu priest and gradually showed the Hindu religion as inferior and degraded, so that people would convert to Islam. This was a gentle way. Because of this, emphasis was not given to followers revealing their Hindu identity. Murtaza Ali Talib was shown as an incarnation of Vishnu. Brahma was shown as Muhammad, Shiva as Baba Adam and Hindu Goddesses as Muslim Sadhvis [51:Page 41, 63, 64 and 73].
