History
Edit
Kokni Muslims trace their ancestry back to the Arab traders who arrived on the Western coast of India during the medieval era and Persians. Muslims first arrived in Konkan in 699, according to Jalal al-Din al-Suyuti, less than 70 years after the death of Muhammad in 632.[1] Furus is believed to be visited by Dr. B. R. Ambedkar on 17 May 1937 on the way to Dapoli and spent a night at Buddhawadi, Furus [2]
