What's new

95% of all Hindu temples in Pakistan have been destroyed or converted since 1990

Shameful ! Why they converted Temple in to Toyshop ?!?
Too much dramatic thinking I guess..
you know what? we have been doing that to each others places of worship,
they used to be converted into Horse barns or cattle barns or in worse cases the victors will turn them into slaughter house of the defeated and would defecate there. the British also kept this practice alive when they conquered the entire India

I guess you will find it hard to find a mosque or a shrine in places like say Jalindhar or Gurdaspur that saw some big scale culling of the Muslim migrants due to the way the boundaries were drawn. you might prove me wrong by showing some mosques or shrines there but I mentioned those names as a reference

All converted to gurudwaras in jalandhar etc as i said earlier.

Do any of you Indians ever take a step back and reflect on your contribution to this forum? If not maybe you should because some of your posts are just shameful/pointless. Posts that add nothing and just make you look immature and stupid.

Anyways back to the topic maybe it has something to do with them not being used rather than anything sinister as some of you Indians are trying to imply, and yes Pakistan does have an issue with how it treats its minorities, but so does the rest of South Asia so stop with this righteous attitude.

I wish I could share derelict mosques belonging to the abandoned villages in Pakistan. this was something strange for me. what I mean is, due to the partition if the Hindu communities moved out of an area then there wont be any temples left.

what you have shared with us is depressing IF, there was a sizeable Hindu community present or if a Temple of very historical significance was converted to something else or raised.

BUT , having said that, I have seen abandoned Temples during visit in Pakistani Kashmir which belonged to former Hindu villages that were abandoned and now only the main structure or the tomb stands in the wilderness.
expecting a corrupt and incompetent Pakistani administration to look after the temples is a hopeless case when it cant even look after roads, schools and hospitals.

by the way, I am in no way down playing the desecration or deliberate destruction of places of worship

As per this article, there are only 20 temples left. Do you understand the import of it? There are 3 million Hindus being serviced by just 20 temples. All these temples are also old temples I believe. In contrast, god knows how many new mosques are coming up in India every single day.

It will be taken care of, You think about getting ride of non-Dharmics - not an easy task :pop:

We do not have to do much really, the way global events are unfolding most will eventually revert to Dharmic religions one way or another.

Genius report is talking about Temples which were given under control of ETPB and were located in places from where Hindus migrated after partition

THIS
my dear is appalling and against our teaching by the Prophet Muhammad PBUH and also against what Jinnah said in his first sate address


but then again. incompetent and corrupt leadership and Fanatic Mullah wont care what the founder of Islam and founder of Pakistan said,. in today's Pakistan even the Mosques and shrines are being blown up .. I don't expect any better future for the temples I am afraid.

Still not an easy task, they are in 100s of millions :pop:

No, it is not clear from the article if only the temples under the control of ETPB is being talked about. All it says is except for 20 places which are operational, all other places have been leased out.

Does not matter. We can live with minorities if there is no threat to the integrity of India and Indian Muslims for the most part are well assimilated.

Looks like you just read the title and posted here

“The remaining places of worship have been leased for commercial and residential purposes by the Evacuee Trust Property Board (ETPB), said PHRM Chairman Haroon Sarab Diyal. The 135,000 acres of land owned by around four million Hindus is now under ETPB’s control.

It just states who has leased it. Also it states land owned by Hindus are under ETPB's control. Now how would Hindus who live in India own land in Pakistan? Those 4 million Hindus being referred to I presume are Pakistani Hindus.

Report is talking about properties and temples belonging to Hindus who migrated after partition, ETPB was formed and control of those properties were given to it (as there was no owner left). So, no rocket science needed to understand that ETPB sold, leased or let encroachments happen on what was under board's possession. Yeah - corruption is too high in Pakistan but not at that scale that a govt. entity will start selling or leasing properties belonging to Pakistani nationals. :pop:
