Pilgrimage to Balochistan’s Hinglaj Temple

[jha]

dont you know about aghoris?
go visit a big shamshan ghat after 12 in the night...you'd find sadhu like people wearing all black with ash in their hair and over thie flesh...they literarily pull bodies out of the funeral pyre and eat human meat with alcohol...
disgusting stuff...they are supposed to be kali worshippers and people you'd never want to come across...feared.

I know this thing very well.. And they are not supposed to be Kali Worshipers..They worship MAHAKAAL and MAHAKAALI both..
And all aghoris do not eat corpse.. There is a particular sect (i dont remember the name ) who do this..

First of all , aren't Kali worshiper , they worship lord Shiva.

Not only worship Shiva , but in fact try live the lifestyle of Lord Shiva in typical mythical phases being called Lord Bhairava, when he roamed around in Samsan ghats(cremation grounds) without any clothes and ashes all over body. His men who also moved with him and live similalar life style .

Aghoris being worshiper of Lord Bhairava , follow that tradition and go to cremation grounds at nights to eat burn flesh/bones left of dead bodies as part of some ritualistic exercise.

Aghoris are those who eat human flesh, right? I dont think we have many of them left in India. They died of hunger I guess.

Watch too much India TV eh ?

Hindus make less than 2% of Pakistan's total population and most Hindus of Pakistan live in Sindh Province.

How was christianity spread in Pakistan? was it by the british or was it already there?

By the British and after Partition, when it was not safe to be a Sikh or a Hindu and at the same time, did not want to convert to Islam.

Christians of Pakistan were convereted by the British, the Pakistani Christians were Hindus before the British invaded South Asia.

Every year thousands of Hindus from Pakistan and India gather to attend a four-day ritual at the Hinglaj Mata Temple in Balochistan. The temple is situated on the Makran coast in the Lyari district of Balochistan. Hindus believe that the head of goddess Sati had fallen in the area of Hinglaj Mata and since then, it has remained a revered pilgrimage site for Hindus. –Reuters Photos

While many boast of good roads in pakistan it is very said to see the reality or its because that place belongs to minority community and don't get help from govt.???????

There is no proof that Sikhs and Hindus converted to Christianity after Partition. Hindus and Christians are almost equal in number of their populatiion in Pakistan, Hindus are slightly a larger number than Christians in Pakistan. Almost all Sikhs of Punjab Province of Pakistan left to the Indian side of Punjab because of their leader Master Tara Singh therefore Sikhs are smaller in number than both Hindus and Christians in Pakistan. However, Sikhs make the largest minority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. Christians make the lagest minority in Punjab Province of Pakistan. And Hindus make the largest minority in Sindh Province of Pakistan. Theres very few Hindus, Christians, and Sikhs in Balochistan Province of Pakistan.

You're reading too much into it. It could just be that the province of Balochistan in itself is under-developed as compared to the other provinces.

Yes it is really under developed in comparison to other provinces. Look at the pictures, its more looks like MARS than earth.

Other fact is there are no roads because there is hardly any population as well. But still government needs to allocate proper budget for infrastructure development in Balochistan. Guns cann't win the hearts.
