H-M synthesis: Muslims donate land and money to build hindu temple in Bihar
Patna: Muslim villagers in Bihar have set a new example for society by donating land and money for an old Hindu temple. The incident has come as a harbinger of hope amid reports of attacks on the Muslim members by cow vigilante groups.
Reports said the Hindu villagers from Bakhri village in central Bihar’s Begusarai district were worried after an old temple dedicated to monkey deity Hanuman was in a state of disrepair. Also, the temple did not have sufficient space as a result of which the devotees faced a lot of trouble while offering prayers when their numbers swelled during any religious event.
Recently, the local villagers planned renovations of the temple but were facing a financial crunch.
Witnesses said when the local Muslim villagers came to know about their problems, they came forward and offered all kinds of help. While Mohammad Tuffail Ahmad, Mohammad Salim and Qari Ahmad donated land for temple expansion, there were others from the community who happily donated money. There were also others who decided to give their time to help construction along.
Reports said when the local district superintendent of police Ranjit Kumar Mishar came to know about the whole story, he rushed to the villagers and showered lavish praises on them for this rare gesture. “You have set a new example for the society through your act of communal harmony. We salute your gesture,” Mishra told the villagers.
This is the second time that Muslims had come to the aid of the Hindus. Muslim villagers in a show of communal harmony have also donated land to build the world’s largest Hindu temple that will have the capacity to accommodate more than 20,000 devotees at a time. The temple is coming up at Kesaria in East Champaran district.
“Muslims have not only donated land but they have also provided land at nominal rate for [the] construction of world’s largest Hindu temple. But for their help, it would have been difficult for us start the project,” Acharya Kishore Kunal, secretary of cash-rich Mahavir Mandir Trust, which is undertaking the temple construction project, has gone on record to say.
