A glimpse at the Cutchi Memon History - Jusbani Family....
(Original Kutchi Memon - Series ONE)
ORIGINALLY OUR ANCESTORS ARE FROM SIND PAKISTAN…………………… AND FROM MY MOTHERS SIDE ANCESTOR WAS A SUFI WHO CAME ALONG WITH PHIR ABDUL KADAR GILANI SOME 800 YRS AGO FROM IRAQ/ BAGHDAD.. AND SETTLED DOWN IN SIND/ PAKISTAN.
AFTER SOME YEARS OUR FAMILY WHO WAS KNOWN AS JUSBANIS , MOVED FROM SIND TO RAN OF CUTCHI .. JUSBANIS WERE A BIG CLAN , WHO CLAIMED THAT THEY HAD A LINK TO THE FAMILY OF JUSAB( YUSUF/ JOSEPH A VERY HANDSOME PROPHET … SON OF YACUB ( JACOB)….
SINCE THE FAMILY WAS ALREADY MOMIN ( MUSLIM ) …AND SETTELED IN CUTCH, THE HINDU PEOPLE LIVING THERE COULD NOT SAY MOMIN AND STARTED SAYING MEMONS……. OUR ANCESSTORS HAD FARMS , AND BUSSNIESS IN DAY TO DAY GOODS AND TRAVELLED A LOT BACJK AND FORTH FROM MADRAS , CEYLON AND EVEN AFRICA …. LATER IN 1800.. MY GREAT, GREAT , GREAT GRANDFATHER JUSAP( YUSUF ) ASKED HIS SONS ( 8 ) TO GO BOMBAY AND START A COMMUNITY ALONG WITH OTHER MEMONS LIKE ADAMJI, WAKAKI, LAKHANI AND FEW OTHERS …
NOW BOMBAY BECAME THE BASE OF MOMINS( MEMONS TO EXPAND THE BUSSNIESS AND REAL ESTATE , THEY TOOK THE OPPORTUNITY IN 1800 AND EXPANDED INTO A LARGE JAMAT, WHICH LATER BECAME CUTCHI MEMON JAMMAT OF BOMBAY….. AND MY GRANDFATHERS FATHER SALEMOHMAD JUSBANI , BECOME THE FIRST PRESIDENT OF THE CUTCHI MEMOM JAMMAT……. HIS FIVE SONS STARTED A CARPET AND FLOORING BUSSNIESS IN BOMBAY AND CALLED IT VENJARA CARPETS AND WAS REGISTERED IN 1879 WITH MUNCIPALITY OF BRITISH BOMBAY ….. AND MY GRANDFATHER WHO WAS A LAD …. SETH ESSAK SALEMOHAMD , LEARNED THE TRADE VERY WELL AND TOOK THE LAST NAME OF VENJARA , BY NOW WHICH HAD BECOME VERY FAMOUS IN BOMBAY AND THE REST IS HISTORY AND THE NAME VENJARA STUCK WITH US TILL TODAY AND I DO LIKE IT , ITS UNIQUE
