The word "Kalb" means "dog" in Arabic so his name "Kalbe Jawad" means "Dog of Jawad", "al-Jawad" being the title of the 9th Imam of Islam (Mohammad at-Taqi al-Jawad (a.s)), notably the Twelver Shia. This is is not to be confused with "Qalb" meaning "heart".

He has studied for 10 years in notable religious seminaries in Qum, Iran and now takes the task of claiming back lands of Shias in Lucknow from the time when they were confiscated by the East India Company.
