The border dispute between two neighboring countries of South-East Asia Thailand and Cambodia now seems to be changing into an open battle. During the bloody conflict from July 24, the Cambodian army has allegedly used BM-21 Grad Multiple Rocket Launcher of Russian origin, after which the situation has become more stressful. The Thai army has replied with a balanced but strict shelling.

So far, at least 15 people have been reported in this struggle and dozens of injuries have been reported. This tension between the two countries has been going on for years, but this time the weapon which has been used, indicates that the clash has now come out of the traditional realm.

Where did the dispute start?

The root of this struggle is associated with a 7th-century Hindu temple, on which the two countries claim their sovereignty. The temple is located in the border of Cambodia, but Thailand claims that the area around the temple is its. Although the International Court of Justice (ICJ) had recognized Cambodia’s authority over the temple, the increasing activities in the Thai army area have again provoked tension.

What is BM-21 Grad Rocket System?

The BM-21 Grad is a Soviet carpet multiple rocket launcher system (MRLs), developed in the 1960s. It is called a fighter vehicle or sown machine. This truck-based weapon can fire 40 rockets in 6 seconds and 122 mm caliber rockets can target enemy tanks, cannons and military bases simultaneously.

Military experts believe that weapons like BM-21 are used only in serious war conditions. Their use can also be seen like a warning that now the struggle will not be limited to limited conflict. This can not only make the Thai-Kambodia struggle and fierce, but it can also affect the stability of the entire southeast Asia.

Malaysia temple relacation Row: Government decisions and land disputes against Hindu temples in Malaysia have united the Hindu community there. To solve this, representatives of more than 2,300 temples have called a big meeting in Kuala Lumpur later this week. Its main objective is to formulate a strategy to remove illegal occupations on the land of temples and pressurize the government.

According to the report of South China Morning Post, recently, the 130 -year -old Shri Pathrakaliamman Temple of Kuala Lumpur has passed a proposal to remove it from the original place under the pressure of the government. Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim has laid the foundation of a new mosque at this place, causing huge dissatisfaction in the Hindu community.

Historical significance of Hindu temples in Malaysia
During the British rule, Indian workers were brought to Malaya (now Malaysia), and temples were built to meet their religious needs. After Malaysia’s independence in 1957, the land of these temples was not legally recognized, which led to a land dispute situation. The government sold the land of many Hindu temples to private companies, causing threat to their existence.

Why is the temple dispute happening?
After the independence of Malaysia on 31 August 1957, the land of many Hindu temples was declared government property, causing a major crisis for the Hindu community. Religious places of majority Muslim community in Malaysia have government protection, while Hindu temples are being removed. On the other hand, radical groups say that the government should not give new land for temples. Campaigns are going on on social media anti -Hindu hatred, which is increasing tension.

What does MHS work?
Malaysia Hindu Sangam (MHS) works to protect Hindu temples and their rights in the country. MHS has invited representatives of 2300 temples to find a legal and social solution to this land dispute. MHS believes that permanent legal solution is needed for Hindu temples built on government land.

Incident of removing Shri Pathrakaliamman Temple
The crisis that has arisen on the future of Hindu temples in Malaysia is not only religious, but also a historical and legal issue. The incident of removing the 130 -year -old Sri Pathrakaliamman Temple has indicated that more than 2,300 Hindu temples in Malaysia are under threat.
