Islamabad, Pakistan (CHAKRA) —The minority Hindu community in Pakistan has protested against the demolition of a pre-partition 87-year-old Hindu temple, in the town of Rawalpindi, but the destruction has been set to take place.
The temple was being used by Hindus and Sikhs to perform the last rituals of close ones, according to Jagmohan Kumar, the head of the Hindu community in Rawalpindi. Kumar said, the Shamshan Ghat temple is not only used by the local Hindus but also by the foreign missions of China and the Buddhist community.
The Shamshan Ghat temple and land was given to Hindus when Benazir Bhutto was in power while Kishan Chand Parwani was the federal minister for the minorities in her cabinet. Kumar added that the temple is now being demolished while the land is being kept for the community.
According to Kumar, before the Shamshan Ghat temple was built on this land, it used to have several temples along Tipu Road and Nullah Leh. However, some of those temples were demolished before partition while the rest were flattened to the ground after the 1992 Babri Masjid occurrence in India. Many of the spaces where the temples originally stood are presently occupied by residential apartment buildings beside the Raja Bazaar in Rawalpindi.
Jagmohan’s commented on how muslims would feel if their mosques were demolished for the purpose of residential growth. Hindus are fed up in Pakistan but have no voice and reports have shown that over hundreds of Hindu temples are destroyed in Pakistan on an annual basis. Many analysts forecast that all Hindu temples (tens of thousands before 1947) will be destroyed by 2020 by Muslim extremists.

Its really painful to read this article, i sincerely request all the hindu’s residing in pakistan to come back to India. Its very simple you cannot expect mango from a neem tree .. rest imagine if we send all muslims to pakistan ..
anton says
maybe hindus in India should return tit for tat. Also hindus have to learn to standup and fight for themselves. They are too accommodating and soft and get trampled on. If this was in the West, we’d fight fire with fire and bury those b@@@tards!
Sekhar says
I just wanted to know if Hindu’s staying in Pakistan & Bangladesh have similar rights or not? Can they go to the court of law and demand as a right to rebuild temples that were destroyed in the respective countries? Even if they can, would they be allowed to live?
Now as a hypothetical case lets assume all the above was possible, the big question, would the decision be what its going to be in the Indian court of law? (As we all understand Congress’s vote-bank politics we all know that the Congress Party will ensure that the decision goes in favor of the muslims)
Jitendra says
Its interesting to see from comments that the Congress’s vote-bank politics revolves around Muslims in India even when about 80% of the population is Hindus!!! If Hindus were united against Congress’s anti-Hindu, anti-National stance, we wouldnt have seen this day.

well good to listen that hindus and pushkarna are staying at pakistan, well the best way is that all pushkarna and all hindus leave pak slowly and come back here and live peacefully in our nation, its sad that pakistan govt is not able to control bad activities, request to govt of pakistan to make people live happily as its a right of human being..

I am a recent convert to the Hindu religion and one thing I have always been taught was to be tolerant of other religions/beliefs, to be forgiving etc but not to the point of tolerating abuse or allowing someone to disrespect my religion or my spiritual practices. How would these Muslims like it if non Muslims destroyed mosques, drove Muslims away from their homes, killed innocent Muslim civilians etc? They would not like it. So thus they should not do to others what causes them pain when done to them.

i don’t know why people are so excited by Obama saying Happy Diwali. bowed before the Sultan of Saudi Arabia. No American President is to bow before a monarch! I don’t trust him!
sunny says
rightly said that we are born slaves. but think in other way….1) whatever hindus do in pakistan for peace, mullas will not tolerate any hindu means either conversion to islam or death inevitable. 2) think of another option…. like being an hindu extremist in pakistan hold guns be suicide bomber and kill them, the result is again death of hindu. thus in both the options death is inevitable. then why not to die as a brave hindu rather than dying after being fucked up?????? what’s wrong in killing those mullas????? if i am not wrong there will be atleast 10% minorities total in pakistan. if all of them unite and kill those mullas, possibility is that after death of say 100 or 500 mullas , they may have some fear from hindu extremism. tell me at least one negative point in this. but the only condition is each and every minority will have to fight till last breath. its just fear in mind which stops from being self-protective and which makes a person slave. Just think if once the fear goes away, nobody in this world will be able to harass any hindu in the world. be sure i have used the world fear not the tolerant. if you can agree then its not that hindus are tolerant, i will say hindus are most fearing population and that is the reason of fall…
