110-year-old madrasa and library set ablaze by Hindutva mob during Ram Navami rally in Bihar

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.


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.

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

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

That is true man...I mean in our quest to define ourselves as better human beings, we are dangerously trading a path of unknown territory...
Bihar is a Nitish territory....I am a really little bit suspicious about this news...But it is difficult to understand the truth in today's world with so much conflicting information all around.

 

[SaadH]

Maybe he thinks that we have two Qurans, Shia and Sunni. Lol

Quran and Masjid are holy places no matter where it is located, in Shia or Sunni dominated territories. There is only one Quran in the hands of Muslims.

He is trying to divide us, but ironically, Quran doesn't allow it.

Even then, he telling a bold face lie as even by appearance you can tell it was sunni masjid.

 

[StraightEdge]

Unfortunately such communal incidents and clashes are on rise since past few years. Doesn't looks like it will reduce anytime soon. Right-wing govt thrives on such things.

 

[El Sidd]

Unless and until the IMAFt under OiC and UN supervision are deployed to Muslim heritage sites in India, these incidents are only going to continue. From graveyards to monasteries, everything is a target much akin to ISIS destroying heritage sites in the Levant and Iraq.

Something dosent look right , there are too many conflicting news on who did it. It looks like someone shot a 15 year old in the procession and each one is blaming tye other party of setting the madrassa on fire.

 

[TheK9]

They lie to justify their agenda.

Please help me out here, If source of Information is India then it is agenda but why when source of Information is Pakistan it is not a agenda, So Quran says this or what?, and if we consider world data India is far more reliable source of information then Pakistan can ever be.

And as far is I am concern burning books is the most dirty crime to preform thats why I hate Mughals(Muslims) and Qin Shi Huang as both have burned burned so many books realted to history culture and ancient geography. I will never know the true story but I don't trust both of you guys.

The Hindus take their religious processions to Muslim areas and shout insults I front of homes and mosques

Muslim populations are agitated and many are defending their homes, shops and areas and inevitable conflict occurs

Then comes the Hindu randi rona and sanghi propaganda



Indian Muslims must have woken up by now
Indian Sikhs must have woken up by now
Indian christians and hell even not sanghi Hindus must have woken up to what JINNAH WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN OVER 70 YEARS AGO


They need to reinforce and expand Muslim areas
Make them like a fortress against the Hindu extremists
Otherwise you will face rape and massacre of you cannot organize and being your forces against your enemy




Remember China has done nothing against you
Pakistan has done nothing against you

Those calling for your blood, murder and rape are your own Hindu countrymen

Let it sink in

Let's not get carried away and come to conclusions, culprits should be put behind bars ,but there are conflicting reports coming out , a 15 year old has been shot dead ,his only crime was celebrating the festival.

No let's face reality, I've been telling you this for years and I'm tired of being right. Hindutva poison is flowing through India, it has instigated its own population and now low level conflict is occuring in the ground

Populations are beginning to partition and multiple hate speeches are being made to "otherize" different communities to an extent not seen since 1940s


There is no right and wrong, no law and order it's defend your own community against any accusation and target the other community at all costs

Slowly Sikhs have been caught up

Christians long called rice bags are also now realizing they are on the hit list



Hindus are busy making themselves victims in a state where they represent a 70% majority and that's dangerous for all



The narrative is we are under attack so we must defend ourselves and how do we defend ourselves?
We attack the other community, we justify any action against them, any crime


The state is complicit in it's absence or outright collision
Media is little more then toxic social media

Yeah it is all a conspiracy. Pakistan is behind this latest attack.

You need to start policing your own and keep these low iqs assholes from making the rest of you look bad, especially when they go online and start spreading disinformation after committing such moronic acts.

The whole of Hindu community is responsible as they elected Modi and BJP. It is collective responsibility like the Germans for the Holocaust. BTW don’t rely on Bollywood for History. The original Buddhist Nalanda was destroyed many centuries ago and the Hindu Nalanda was decorated with images of Kama Sutra including deviant sex such as beastiality. The Khiljis could not allow themselves and their families to be exposed to such corrupted images.

Hurt India economy where it really matters that’s in their wallets. If you want to put a stop to it Till then , the bigotry and violence will just carry happening against the believers in the country. Islamic gulf states and Iran treat india with kid gloves more important oil sales that’s the problem.
