The Warriors Of Hussain: Fighting ISIS

As the war wages against the brutal Islamic State or Daesh in the northern districts of Iraq, we travel to Karbala and Najaf, two towns at the heart of the Shia world and from where a massive people's mobilization is helping turn the tide against ISIS. For a Shia, a visit to the shrines in Najaf and Karbala, have an immeasurable value. Thousands of Indians and Pakistani Shias make this journey every year. We look at how this pilgrimage continues undeterred in the backdrop of war and violence.
