Political difficulties arising out of the Hindu religion are not
common. In 1885, however, a Brahman boy went on board the
Sultan of Zanzibar's steamer <<: Avoca^ at Masqat, intending to become
a Muhammadan and to vist Makkah; the Hindu community at
Masqat were indignant, but the other pilgrims on the ship, mostly
well-armed Afghans and Persians, refused to surrender the intending 1
proselyte. H. M. S. " Banger/' however, detained the "Avoca^ until
the boy was given up, when he renounced the idea of becoming a
Muhammadan. In the same year a Hindu Faqir at Bandar ; Abbas
was converted to Islam and was accused of having stolen valuables
from the Hindu temple at that place; the conduct of the Persian
authorities in the case was unsatisfactory, but they ultimately caused
the Faqir to be removed from Bandar 'Abbas. In 1904 some money was
extorted from Hindus at Abu Dhabi as the price of permission to dispose
of the body of a Hindu, who had died there, in the usual way ; but the
amount was subsequently refunded on a requisition from the Resident.

that the Bab visited Bushehr at an early stage in his public career. It ^
reported that at Bushehr there were in 19n5 only about 50 Babis, ^ ^
employed in the Customs Department or in the Artillery ; a very e
others were found at the ports of Bandar 'Abbas and Lingeh, and P oSS1
at Shehr-i- Viran in the Llravi district; but at Baghdad, which was
headquarters of the Babi religion from 1853 to 1864, it did no^
appear that there are any. It is, probable, however, that Babis a ie
be found in places where their existence has not been ascertained.
