A Short History:

Sayyidi Hazrat Al-Mansoob Laad bin Duhnou al-Sindhi was a Mansoob of Jazeera-e-Sindh, appointed by the 28th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Ja'afar bin Sayyidna Sulaiman Al-Hindi. He was a resident of Badeena, Sindh and was a Dai' in the Qaum-e-Nizaari who left Deen-e-Haq during the Imaamat period of 19th Shia Ismai'li Imaam (9th Fatimid Caliph) Imaam Ahmad "al-Musta'li Billah" bin Imaam Ma'd "al-Mustansir Billah" (1074-1101) AD. Sayyidi Hazrat Al-Mansoob Laad bin Duhnou al-Sindhi came to Ahmedabad in the times of 26th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Ajab Shah and entered the Deen-e-Haq, but after the latter's death once again was with "The Usurper" 27th Dawoodi Bohra Dai' Dawood bin Maulai Qutub Shah. During a return journey of the 27th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Sulaiman bin Sayyidna Hasan Al-Hindi through Jazeera-e-Sindh towards Ahmedabad, he met Sayyidi Al-Mansoob Laad bin Duhnou al-Sindhi who was ordered by Dawood bin Maulai Qutub Shah to kill Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Sulaiman bin Sayyidna Hasan Al-Hindi, but he did not do so and instead came to Ahmedabad with his wife and children to meet Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Sulaiman bin Sayyidna Hasan Al-Hindi. However, during this time Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Sulaiman bin Sayyidna Hasan Al-Hindi has left towards Lahore, Pakistan to the royal court of King Akbar to present his case against Dawood bin Maulai Qutub Shah, but died there due to poisoning by cohorts of Dawood bin Maulai Qutub Shah. Hence, Sayyidi Al-Mansoob Laad bin Duhnou al-Sindhi came once again to 29th Dai' Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Muhammad bin Sayyidi Fahad Al-Makrami and after strong arguments with the Dawoodi Bohra's, was convinced of the right deen of Deen-e-Haq Sulaimani and was made a Mansoob of Jazeera-e-Sindh by Sayyidna Ad-Dai' Ja'afar bin Sayyidna Sulaiman Al-Hindi saheb.
