On March 31, during the Ram Navami rally, a Hindutva mob set fire to Madrasa Azizia, which is the oldest madrasa and library in Bihar Sharif in Nalanda district of Bihar.

The madrasa contained more than 4,500 books which were destroyed in the fire, Mohammad Shahabuddin, the caretaker of the madrasa and library said to Maktoob.

“All of the books have been destroyed, and none remain,” he said.

Madrasa Azizia was established by Bibi Sogra in memory of her husband, Abdul Aziz, and she is recognized as one of the most respected philanthropists in the history of Bihar.

The 110-year-old library was vandalised by the armed mob of around 1,000 people. The saffron mob threw petrol bombs into the mosque and the library.

“The armed men were chanting ‘Jai Shree Ram,’” said Mohan Bahadur, a guard at the madrasa. He also said the mob attacked him, but he managed to flee.

Even though the attack took place in the afternoon, the cops did not reach the spot till 11 p.m.

Violence and vandalism have marred Ram Navami Processions in several states of India, targeting Muslims. Hate speech and stone-pelting against places of worship and shrines were common in all the incidents, which occurred in Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Telangana, West Bengal, and Gujarat.

Where are the Indian Muslim bodies and learned scholars that are always willing to play along with Modi jee? I can't hear them now.

 

[PakFactor]

The Taj Mahal, built by your Muslim masters, is one of the 7 wonders of the world.

Why don't you consider adding your rat temple to this list?

Straight up nasty.
Even in the U.S., these Indians reak of shit when they pass you by; suffocating.

 

[Areesh]

Ha ha! I give it to you. you guys believe in marriage * 4

[El Sidd]

There's no need for jealousy.

Kashmir is 100 percent Muslim. Pakistan is 99 percent Muslim. Islam is the fastest growing religion in India. How are we not helping each other?

Then let Kashmiris be free and join Pakistan.

This really disturbs me. How are we any better than invaders like Bakhtiyar Khilji who razed Nalanda if we do the same.

It’s in your blood to destroy others places of worship and then claim innocence.

Nalanda was burned by Hindus Brahmin as it was a Buddhist university. The Hindus even back then were burning down competing religions places of worship.

Nalanda Mahavihara — Victim of a Myth regarding its Decline and (...) - Mainstream Weekly

by O.P. Jaiswal Nalanda1 has a very ancient history going back to the days of Mahavira and Buddha in the sixth and fifth centuries BC. According (...)

www.mainstreamweekly.net

“The above account mentions the fortress or Vihara as the target of Bakhtiyar’s attack. The fortified monastery which Bakhtiyar captured was known as “Audand Vihara” or “Odanda-pura—Vihara” (Odantapuri in Biharshariff, then known simply as Vihara). He did not go to Nalanda from Biharshariff, rather he moved Nadia in Bengal through the hills and jungles of the Jharkhand region, which is attested to by an inscription of 1295 AD. So, desctruction and burning of the university of Nalanda by Bakhtiyar Khalji is based on concoction and imagination. It is clear from the above mentioned facts that Bhaktiyar Khalji invaded and conquered parts of Bihar and destroyed the Mahavihara in the region,22 but he did not move towards Nalanda from Biharshariff; so, the question of destruction and burning of Nalanda Mahavihara does not arise. (The above facts in detail are from Professor D.N. Jha’s account in sacw.net of July 9, 2014.)

Two Tibetan traditions tell a tale of destruction of Nalanda Mahavihara by Tirthika’s fire. History of Buddhism in Indiaby Lama Tara Nath (17th century AD) and Pag-Sam-Jon-Zang by Sumpa Khan (18th century AD) narrate the event of destruction almost in the same manner. Both the narratives agree that “during the consecration of the temple built by Kakutsiddha at Nalanda, the young naughty Sarmanas threw slops at the two tirthika beggars and kept them pressed inside door panels and set ferocious dogs on them.” Angered by this, one of them went on arranging for their livelihood and the other sat in a deep pit and “engaged himself in Suryasadhana (solar worship), first for nine years and then for three more years and having thus ‘acquired mantrasiddhi’ he performed a sacrifice and scattered the charmed ashes all around”, which immediately resulted in a fire, that consumed all the eightyfour temples and the scriptures some of which, however, were saved by water flowing from an upper floor of the nine-storey Ratnodadhi temple.23 (Professor D.N. Jha’s account, op. cit.) The above facts indicate that there was longstanding antagonism between Brahmins and Buddhists which resulted in desctruction of Nalanda by fire.”

IMO Kashmir should join Afghanistan. Kashmiris are genetically more closer to Afghanis than Indian or Pakistanis.

Are you stupid or something can you backup your claim that kashmiris are genetically closer to afghanis and there is no way that Kashmir join Afghanistan

Afghanistan is not claiming Kashmir you fool

Kashmiris and Afghanis are both white folks. They should merge with each other and maintain their racial purity.

I don't want UP, Bihari, Haryanvi & Karanchi people inter mixing with them.

So you have no proof that they are genetically closer to each other, being white is not necessary to merge 2 unrelated nations

And last Kashmiris want to join Pakistan not to Afghanistan

Just another day in the open air shit hole known as India..

I guess this what good relations with India is going to look like?

Hindustani Muslims aren't strong enough to break India.

that's is what they all say..


think if Pak Army even arms 20K muslims in India that would suck half your army down

 

[khansaheeb]

IMO Kashmir should join Afghanistan. Kashmiris are genetically more closer to Afghanis than Indian or Pakistanis.

What's that go to do with it? The partition was all parts of India with majority Muslims were going to join Pakistan, that's what was agreed with the Hindus.

 

[iamnobody]

Most of them don't prefer India or Pakistan. Because they think they are racially different. Afghan Pothan & Kashmiris look the same race.

So yes Kashmir needs to be merged with Afghanistan.

I guess this what good relations with India is going to look like?




that's is what they all say..

You should do that asap. Let's find out how your brilliant plan works out.

What's that go to do with it? The partition was all parts of India with majority Muslims were going to join Pakistan, that's what was agreed with the Hindus.

But Kashmiri people did not want to join neither India nor Pakistan.

Independent Kashmir is not preferred by both Pakistan & India. So Afghanistan should take over Kashmir.

 

[ProudThamizhan]

any such destruction is wrong. But given the thousands of Hindu heritage sites destroyed in Pakistan, those claiming to be Pakistanis are not eligible to open their mouth on this topic

In 100 years, South Asia will be 100 percent Muslim.

Don't be bitter.

in 100 years what we mean by muslims will also have changed. Just like it has changed in the past.
and what we mean by other religious noms will also have changed

 

[ProudThamizhan]

Then let Kashmiris be free and join Pakistan.

since pakistan is only 99% it is they that should join Kashmir. But right now Kashmir is a union territory but I am sure Modiji can be requested to make it a full fledged state
