The Battle of Karbala took place on 10 Muharam i.e. (10 Oct, 680) in Karbala. First group was a small group of relatives and companions of Mohammad's (SAWW) grandson Hazrat Husain (R.A). Second group was yazid's group of large military force and Umayyad Caliph. 10 day period is held every year in muharram by sunni and shia, and called Ashura. If we see the political background of battle of Karbala, we can see it is started from the assassination of Hazrat Usman (R.A) and rebels occupied city of Madina. Then Hazrat Ali ibn Abu Talib was elected as the fourth Caliph.
