Once upon a time i was sculpted as a Brahma Murti to adorn a Hindu Mandir in Bharat.
Today i lie, broken into 8 pieces,in ruins of Afghanistan.
Hereโ€™s my story
(Thread)
The Director of the Italian Archaeological Mission, Prof. Alessio Bombaci,took part in a series of excavations in the Palace of Ghazni where this Marble Murti of Brahma was found.
The murti is broken into 8 pieces & its torso is missing.
As per Historian Meenakshi Jain, Brahmaโ€™s face is worn out due to the stream of people who walked over it.
We all know this isnt new. Mฯ…slฮนm invaders were iconoclast as their holy book is against idolatry.
Marxist historians & Mฯ…slฮนm apologists like Romila Thapar in her book, Somnatha, & Irfan Habib in Sultan Mahmud of ghaznin, argues that Mahmud of Ghazniโ€™s qttqck on our temples n desecration of our Bhagwanโ€™s Murti were not motivated by religion but by love of plunder of wealth.
As per SitaRam Goel the islamic iconoclast shows a different picture.
It wasnโ€™t just loot of wealth but clear humiliation of our Temples, our Idols, our faith.
This view is well established by Muslim Historians themselves. Almost all medieval Muslim historians credit their heroes with desecration of Hindu idols and/or destruction of Hindu temples.
Muslim Historian Ferishta tells us Mahmud had the statue of the idol of Somnath broken into pieces as an insult and used them in building the famous Mosque Arลซsu โ€˜I-Falak
In his book, History Of The Rise Of The Mahomedan Power In India, Ferishta writes how much wealth Mahmud looted from his invasion of Bharat & with that loot he built a Mosque named Celestial Bride or Arลซsu โ€˜I-Falak.
He even writes how Brahmins, unable to save the temple offered him wealth in exchange of sparing the Murtis of our Gods. But Mahmud refused saying he wants to be known as โ€˜Mahmud the destroyerโ€™ proving the marxist historian false.
Another Historian named Shibli writes Mahmud in his invasion of Bharat looted treasure equal to a collection of Museum.
Mahmudโ€™s own secretary Abu Nasr Al Utbi, in his Kitab-I-Yamini also confirms that after Mahmudโ€™s destruction of Somnath Temple, he brought spoils of the war and built the Mosque Arลซsu โ€˜I-Falak.
Here are excerpts from the book Kitab-i-Yamini translated in English.
The discovery of this mฯ…ฯ„ฮนlated murti bears witness from Mฯ…slฮนm historians themselves what atrocities We Hindus have been through & how our faith has been targetted, vandalised & later whitewashed by our own Indian education system. Time for it to be corrected & retold.
