Our History History

THMC ( Thattai Hindu Merchants Community ) was created in the early 1940s to strengthen the community and provide a platform for businessmen to address challenges facing them. The organisation owns property in the heart of Manama, which contains the Krishna Temple, multipurpose halls, library and offices.

Several businesses can trace their history in Bahrain to nearly 200 years. Businessmen who trace their roots to Thatta in Sindh ( Present-day Pakistan ) who settled in Bahrain & Dubai call themselves Thattai Bhatias. They are the oldest expat business community in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
