I didn't know Shi'ism was that widespread. Maybe that could be the basis for a POD--a pan-Shi'ite resistance to the Mughals?
Sounds cool. Also, William Darymple's book White Mughals includes a vivid description of Shia festivities in Hyderabad under Sunni rulers (the Nizams). There, he points out that sectarian strife was much less than it was today, with Sunnis and even Hundus participating. This did draw the ire of a contemporary writer (Abdul Lateef Shustari, an immigrant from Persia who was hostile towards the 'Indianization' taking place in the Deccan and elsewhere), though.
