Hindu Masjids
Masjids.........Hindu?!
BY Prafull Goradia

-------------------------------------------------
About The Book

Read about and see vivid photographs of how the Hindu legacy has been trampled upon by iconoclasts.


Hindu Masjids: Symbolises the longstanding conflict between Hindus and Muslims, and tries to offer a solution. From Emperor Akbar to Rajiv Gandhi, many have tried to build bridges of friendship between the two communities but all of them, including Mahatma Gandhi, have failed. As the last five decades have proved, the partition of 1947 did not solve the problem.


Is it to escape facing the truth about the past? Or is it to placate Muslim sentiments? Is it to avoid a controversy which might adversely affect one or more electoral verdicts? But how can all the political parties have a vested interest in the suppression of the same facts? Surely, if some party might lose out by the facts coming to light, another should gain as a result. Ruling parties at the centre as well as in the state change from time to time. Yet, no party has shown any real inclination in letting the people of India know facts of their collective past? Is the reason then, a countrywide fear of a community's wrath? If it be so, how can there be friendship between one community being the cause and the other the casualty of fear?


Several scholars have, over the years, listed hundreds of temples and described their desecration but none before the author has drawn a clear distinction between a mandir converted into a masjid in contrast to a mosque built with the rubble of a demolished temple. Even Cunningham, who toured North India extensively in the course of 1838-1855 and published his surveys in 23 voluminous reports, did not make the distinction.


Prafull Goradia has visited every masjid or dargah that has been discussed. Not alone, but accompanied by a research scholar as well as an excellent photographer. He now appeals to Muslims to abandon and not use these ill-gotten or looted edifices for praying to their one and only god, Allah.

Sir,
Both Christians and Muslims claim monopoly upon the earth, its wealth and women. Since the mutiny of 1857, the followers of Jesus Christ find Vedic culture their enemy No One. Since then these vultures, that spared no culture and territory of the world, are after Vedic Sanatan Culture and Aryans. These vultures have got compiled the Indian Constitution to eliminate Bharat from world map and eradicate Vedic culture. That is the reason of providing minority status to these biggest populated Christians of the world and the second biggest Muslim population of the world and India. Nay! Indian Judiciary has accepted Koran and Bible religious books! Jihad has been accepted unfettered fundamental right of Muslims.
As long as Christianity and Islam survive, human race cannot survive.
Aryavrt is seeking your support to eradicate Christianity and Islam.
Apt.
