Gangasagar,
well-known pilgrimage and fair of Hindus across the globe and also the second
largest congregation of mankind following the Holy Kumbh Mela, is being grabbed
by Muslim radicals steadily and the abrupt emergence of lots of illegal slums
comprising Muslims only denote the nefarious reality on the whole. And the way
in which local administration is showering blessings on Islamists it is not far
when the renowned Hindu pilgrimage will turn into an Islamic one.
An
Islamic festival took place just 20 days back at No. 5 Bus stand in Gangasagar but
the lofty gateway or decorated arch is yet to be removed. Even if Hindus have
asked the local administration repeatedly to remove it, the impasse continues
due to indifference of police, let alone Muslims. Top officers in the
administration are also concerned of this deadlock.
And
the crude fact that makes them reluctant is that this is no unusual development
in the contemporary scenario. A casual visit is enough to ascertain how Muslim
radicals are rising in Gangasagar by leaps and bounds.
Take
for example, the road from No. 5 Bus stand to Helipad. The entire area, known
as a Hindu bastion till a few years ago, has been grasped by Muslims (in large
numbers) forcefully leaving leaderless Hindu worried. Again, in the midst of roads No. 3 and No. 4,
No. 4 and No. 5, a new settlement of Muslims, called “Hathat Colony”, has come
to the fore almost abruptly. The effect
of this sudden development can be found easily – harassment of Hindu pilgrims by
Muslims, lewd comments to Hindu girls and women have become common while acts
of burglary have also become all-time high.
Islamic
attempts to capture Hindu lands are also rising at an alarming speed and the
administration’s silence is beefing up confidence of these culprits only.
