Pakistan had 1288 temples in 1947, now only 18 remain


- This is a proof of the condition of minorities in Pakistan, their sisters and daughters are kidnapped and forcefully married to Muslims.

- 51 Shaktipeeths are centers of faith for Hindus. Among these, Hintakaj Mata Mandir, Shardapith and Shivharkarai are the three Shaktipiths in Pakistan. The destroyed Hinglaj Mata temple in Sindh is not a Shaktipeeth. Hinglaj Mata Shaktipeeth is in Makran in Balochistan but it doesn't matter. The temple of Higlaj Mata of Sindh was also the center of faith of Hindus, so its demolition is also a blow to the faith of Hindus. The Sharadapith of PoK was the Shaktipith. Sharda Peeth was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Supreme Court of Pakistan also ordered to protect and preserve it

Demolition of Hindu temples and shrines in Pakistan is not a new thing, but the issue is again in the news due to the news that Hinglaj Mata Temple in Sindh and Shardapith in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) were demolished. Until now, Muslim fundamentalists used to demolish temples in Pakistan, but shockingly, Sindh's Hinglaj Mata Mandir and Shardapith have been demolished by the Pakistani government.

The temple of Hinglaj Mata in Mithi town of Tharparkar district of Sindh was demolished on the pretext of coercion while the Shaktipeeth in PoK was demolished in the name of development. According to media reports, a coffee house has been built very close to Shardapith. Shardapith is a historical temple and is years old. There is no one to take care of Hindu temples in Pakistan so this temple was in a state of ruins. Due to this, the beauty of the coffee house was reduced so the temple was demolished.

For Hindus, 51 Shaktipeeths are centers of faith. Among these, Hintakaj Mata Mandir, Shardapith and Shivharkarai are three Shaktipiths located in Pakistan. The temple of Hinglaj Mata in Sindh was demolished and destroyed, it is not a Shaktipeeth. Hinglaj Mata Shaktipeeth is in Makran in Baluchistan but it doesn't matter. The temple of Higlaj Mata in Mithi of Sindh was also the center of faith of Hindus, so its demolition is also a blow to the faith of Hindus.

This incident has shaken the Hindus of Pakistan as the Shardapith of PoK was the Shaktipith. Sharda Peeth was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. The Supreme Court of Pakistan has also ordered to protect and preserve it, but in order to please the fundamentalists, both UNESCO and the Supreme Court have swindled and destroyed the Sharda Peeth. is likely.

There were 1288 Hindu temples in Pakistan at the time of independence. According to the statistics provided by the government of Pakistan, there were 20 Hindu temples in Pakistan in 2019. Now 18 of them are left as the government's bulldozer is rolling again. Pakistan has elections in January and a new government will come. If this government is at the feet of the fundamentalists, there is a real danger that by the end of its five years, not a single temple will be left.

Given that there is a campaign going on to wipe out Hindus from Pakistan, if Hindus feel that the possibility of wiping out temples is a reality, their fear is quite reasonable. At present, since there are temples, Hindus can gather and feel that they have a society, but if there are no temples, Hindus will be scattered.

The demolition of Hinglaj Mata Mandir and Shardapith is another proof of the condition of minorities in Pakistan. People of minority communities including Hindus, Sikhs, Christians living in Pakistan are attacked. We hear about their sisters and daughters being abducted and forcibly married to Muslims, minorities being forcibly converted to Islam. It is also common knowledge that the lands and property of the minorities are seized and they are forced to flee in rags, but there is not much discussion about the destruction of temples.

In fact, the destruction of temples is another chapter in the same story of atrocities. The demolition of two temples drew attention to it, and the destruction of temples along with persecution of minorities has already started since independence. After Pakistan came into existence on August 14, 1947, you will understand this if you look at the statistics of mines demolished in the last 75 years.

Different figures are given about how many Hindu temples there are in Pakistan at the time of independence and now because the Pakistani government hides the fact to suppress the incidents of demolition of Hindu temples. Of course according to information provided by Hindus living in Pakistan,

At the time of independence, there were 1288 Hindu temples in Pakistan. Out of them only 31 temples were left in 2020. These figures were given by Pakistan Hindu Council in 2020.

Small temples like Deri are also included in the figures given by the Council, but according to the figures given by the Government of Pakistan, in 2019, out of the four provinces of Pakistan, 11 in Sindh, 4 in Punjab, 3 in Baluchistan and 2 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, a total of 20 madirs were in operation.

Pakistan has an Evacuee Trust Board for the maintenance of properties of people who left Pakistan at the time of independence. A total of 1288 Hindu temples were registered in this board in 1947 while in 2020 only 31 temples were reported to be functioning. Based on that, the council gave this information. At that time, the construction of the Hindu temple was stopped due to fierce opposition from Muslim fundamentalists in Islamabad. Due to this, these details came out when the issue of atrocities on minorities came up.

Countries including Pakistan spread lies that minorities including Muslims are being persecuted in India but the real atrocities are happening in Pakistan. The demolition of two temples has made it clear that the government of Pakistan is also involved in this atrocity.

Not only Hindus of India but people of all communities including Sikhs, Christians should raise this issue at global level. This issue is not limited to Hindus but affects all minorities. Globally, human rights organizations have raised concerns about atrocities against minorities in Pakistan. Shorbakro has become necessary to make them sleep.

Hindus are not allowed to enter the temple of Lord Ram in Islamabad

In Pakistan, when Imran Khan was the Prime Minister, it was announced in a big way to hand over 400 temples to Hindus to show that minorities are not persecuted in Pakistan. The Imran government has announced that Hindu temples will be rehabilitated and handed back to the Hindu community after removing pressure from them.

It was claimed that Jagannath Temple and Shivalaya Tejasingh in Sialkot, two historic temples and Gorakhnath Temple in Peshawar would be handed over to Hindus, but nothing happened. Among these, Shivalaya Tejasingh is said to be 1000 years old. Four years after the announcement of the Imran Khan government, the situation remains the same. The situation in Pakistan is so bad that Hindus can't even go to temples that are in good condition, let alone return the old temples. There is a temple of Lord Rama built in 16th century in Islamabad. The temple has been closed since independence and Hindus are not allowed to enter it or worship.

Restaurants, shops, government offices were built in temples

The details of what happened to the 1288 Hindu temples during the independence period in Pakistan are shocking. In most cases fundamentalists have demolished temples and started madrasas. In some cases, recalcitrant Muslims have occupied the temples by intimidating the Hindus and started various businesses on the premises of the temples.

All Pakistan Hindu Rights Movement recently conducted a survey about the status of Hindu temples. According to this survey, 428 Hindu temples remained in Pakistan in 1990. Out of these 408 temples have been built with restaurants, schools, toy shops, etc. after 1990. Many temples have been demolished and government offices have also been built there. It means that the government is also an equal partner in demolishing temples.

A sign of the second revolution in China after Mao's revolution

Image
- Inhumane atrocities on the people caused outrage as the communist leader himself lived in Ayyashi. - In almost all the big cities of China, people are holding violent protests and gradually these protests are turning into demands for democracy instead of lockdown protests. Political analysts believe that the cause of this protest may be the lockdown imposed due to Corona, but the real reason is the growing dissatisfaction and outrage against the communist regime of China. Due to the increasing cases of Corona in China, there has been a flare-up after the Chinese government imposed a zero covid policy. Under the zero covid policy, lockdown has been imposed in areas where corona cases are high. In big cities in China, people are not allowed to go out and are being forced to stay indoors. On November 25, due to the lockdown, a fire broke out in an apartment in Xinjiang, even though people were not allowed to go out in the name of lockdown, 10 people perished. Due to this incident, pe

Talk of Delhi: Reconciliation with Gehlot, Pilot supporters confused

New Delhi: A meeting called by Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge to end the fight between Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot in Rajasthan has left Pilot's supporters confused. After Ashok Gehlot and Sachin Pilot spoke to Rahul Gandhi for four hours at Mallikarjun Kharge's bungalow, it was announced that the two leaders would contest the next assembly elections together, but there was no crackdown on Pilot's demands. Pilot Vasundhara Raje sought to dissolve the Rajasthan Public Service Commission investigating government corruption and set up a high-level committee to restructure and compensate the unemployed affected by the paper leak. If these three demands are not met, they have warned of fierce agitation. The Gehlot government has not accepted any of the three demands, leaving PILOT supporters confused. Congress sources say that there is still a phase of dialogue between the two and this issue will be resolved. K.C. Venugopal has confirmed this. Cracks in Congress over

China's Insidious Privacy

Image
As many important countries as there are in the world, they are ruled by almost one-man show politicians. The kind of team leadership that was traditionally used to manage and manage huge countries now appears to be dying out. Due to this, the burden of taking all decisions is placed on a single person. Hence, the possibility of making hasty or wrong decisions increases. This is the situation of the leaders of all important countries including India, Russia, China, America. China has its own top leadership of the People's Party, but its role is very limited. India has a two-tier cabinet. Besides, Rashtrapati Bhavan and Supreme Court are also ready for error correction and guidance. That readiness is sometimes expressed in the form of reprimand. However, the role of the President and the court in the practical management of the entire nation and in the formulation of policies is limited. In China, Xi Jinping enjoys absolute power. There is a Politburo and a Senate to stop them. Ch

Adhir's allegation, Mamata's daily expenses of 3 lakhs

Image
New Delhi: Trinamool Congress and Congress, the two allies of the anti-BJP Front India, have come face to face again after Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chaudhary made allegations against Mamata Banerjee. Chaudhary has alleged that Mamata Banerjee used to spend Rs 3 lakh per day in the hotel where she was staying abroad. Even after siphoning off so many rupees from the government's coffers, not a single rupee of foreign investment has come to Bengal from Mamata's foreign travel. Mamata's family members and others went abroad on the pretext of bringing foreign investment to the state and came back having fun without doing anything. Mamata went on a 12-day trip to Spain and Dubai to bring foreign investment to Bengal. The Trinamool Congress termed Chaudhary's words ridiculous and said that facilities including foreign academies will be opened soon in Bengal. That time Chaudhary's lies will be exposed.

Talking about Delhi: The government was shocked by the report about the China border

Image
New Delhi: There is peace on the border between India and China now, but the report presented during the DGP conference has shocked the government. According to this report, Indian Army is not patrolling 26 points out of the 65 patrolling points of the Line of Actual Control (LAC). The areas from Karakoram Pass to Chumur are not being patrolled by the Indian Army so China can intrude and claim these areas. Areas that are not patrolled become buffer zones, thus weakening India's claim over them. There is a threat that China will gradually enter the region and eventually take over it. China's military is clever in taking advantage of this situation. China keeps a close watch on Indian Army movements by installing cameras on high peaks. Then the infiltration starts as soon as the opportunity arises. Voices of discontent against Yogi Adityanath in UP Ahead of the Lok Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh, voices of dissatisfaction against Yogi Adityanath have started to rise. The B

A minor was killed in public in Delhi, people watched the spectacle

Image
- For the so-called civil society, this is like drowning with water in the lid - When Sahil stopped the witness in public and stabbed him in the stomach, there were many people around. Most of the people watching the spectacle saw Sahil stabbing the witness. In the CCTV footage, it is seen that some people pass by on the public road and turn back to see Sahil's murderous game but do not try to stop him. Seeing that Sahil was alone and there were at least twenty-twenty five people outside, if an attempt had been made to stop him, the witness could have been saved, but except for one or two people, no one tried to stop Sahil or save the witness, nor did they inform the police. The murder of Shraddha Volkar by her live-in partner Aftab Amin Poonawala, which happened exactly one year ago in Delhi, created a stir. After killing Shraddha, Aftab was caught cutting her body into pieces, keeping it in a freezer and disposing of it slowly. While the details of the Shraddha murder case ha

Uproar in UP politics due to attack on Chandrasekhar Ravan

Image
There is talk on social media that Chandrasekhar Azad himself staged the attack in an attempt to gain political advantage. - Chandrasekhar Azad Ravan is one of the most interesting characters in UP politics. Chandrasekhar is only 36 years old but has made more enemies than anyone else in UP politics. Ravana is very unpopular with the upper castes especially the Thakurs and Kshatriyas because Azad speaks harshly against the upper castes. Chandrasekhar has been speaking in the same aggressive tone against those who have been playing vote bank politics in the name of Dalits for years. Leaders who have been running their shop in the name of Dalit vote bank in UP for years feel threatened by Chandrasekhar and dislike him. Chandrasekhar is also considered by many as a pawn of BJP and Yogi Adityanath. The attack on Chandrashekhar Azad Ravan, known as the chief of Bhim Army and an extremely aggressive youth Dalit leader, in Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh, has created an atmosphere of tension and

Tribal bus services: Even the tribals do not like private bus service very much

Image
JS of Gujarat State Transport Corporation. T. Bus services run across the state. Its foremost is economics, which is rarely seen by the government itself or the public. The main for-profit services of this corporation are in tribal areas. Route Chikkar makes a profit as every route that runs in remote inland tribal areas carries every Chikkar passenger. Other than that thousands of routes suffer losses. In other words, it is the tribals who give food and water to the corporation and the rupee from the hard work of the tribals comes into the possession of the corporation only by becoming a ticket fare, from which the staff of the corporation is paid. The other side of this coin is that the worst i.e. third class services of the corporation are given to the tribal areas. Third class means third class in each stage. The people of the so-called elite society are not equally familiar with the tribal area. Their ignorance is of many different levels. From time immemorial, people living in

Ultimatum of Akal Takht, terrorism will flare up in Punjab?

Image
- Although Akal Takht has said that we will not do violence, but looking at the history of Akal Takht, Bhagwant Maan knows very well what this threat means. When the demand for Khalistan gained momentum in the 1970s, the Akal Takht used to advise Sufiani to behave peacefully, but through the back door he helped the militants. In fact, in 1983, due to a decision taken by the Akal Takht, terrorism flared up in Punjab. To suppress the Khalistanists who are raising their heads in Punjab, the Punjab Police has conducted an operation and put a number of Khalistanists in jail. Akal Takht has come into the fray where the Khalistanists are on the run with Sardar Amritpal Singh and the Punjab Police is pulling out all the stops to catch him. The Akal Takht is considered the highest religious institution in the Sikh sect. The Akal Takht has given an ultimatum to the Bhagwant Mann government to release all the jailed people within 24 hours. Jathedar of Akal Takht Giani Harpreet Singh criticized
