Salar masood ghazi: There is a ruckus over the fair to be held on the tomb of Syed Salar Masood Ghazi in Uttar Pradesh. Salar Masood’s tomb is in Bahraich, where he is worshiped as Ghazi Mian. Every year the fair is organized at the dargah of Ghazi Mian and the fair is held not only in Bahraich, but from Sambhal to Moradabad. Every year in this Urs fair, not only Muslims but a large number of Hindus also come for prayer, but Hindu organizations have demanded from the administration that why the fairs of those who invaded Hindus are being organized?
The process of praying on Salar Ghazi’s tomb in Bahraich has been going on for many decades, but now a debate has started in the country. While SP chief Akhilesh Yadav says that the BJP is ending every mixed culture. People of every religion caste meet at the fair. If they can praise Kumbh, then why can’t you praise any other fair? At the same time, UP CM Yogi Adityanath has said in clear terms that the glorification of any invader will not be accepted. Now the question is why the controversy started on the name of Salar Masood Ghazi suddenly.
Controversy over Salar Ghazi started from Sambhal
Actually, the Urs fair, which is held every year, is held from Bahraich, Sambhal to Moradabad every year, but when pictures of the pit for the organizing of this fair came out from Sambhal on March 18, the controversy started. The Additional SP of Sambhal had warned that the Neja fair will not be held every year in memory of the robbers. After this, Hindu organizations started knocking on the doors of the police demanding stopping the fair from Moradabad to Bahraich. If the controversy increased, the UP government and the opposition started standing face to face.
What is written about Salar Ghazi on the UP government website?
Congress MP from Saharanpur Imran Masood Syed Salar is describing Ghazi as Sufi saint, while BJP leaders in UP are calling him an invader. When I saw the page of Bahraich on the website of the Tourism Department of the UP government, it is written about Dargah Sharif- Hazrat Ghazi Salar Masood, the eleventh century famous Islamic saint and soldiers. It further states that Hazrat Ghazi Syed Salar Masood’s dargah is not only for Muslims but is associated with the faith of Hindus. This dargah was built by Feroz Shah Tughlaq. It is believed that the diseases of the one who takes a bath in the water of the dargah go away, but now the question is whether Syed Salar Masood was a saint or an invader?
Ghazi had a war with King Suheldev
It is said that 1500 years ago in 1034, King Suheldev along with 21 kings on the banks of the same Chittaora lake fought and killed Salar Masood Ghazi. About 9 years ago, in 2016, the country’s Home Minister Amit Shah unveiled the statue of King Suheldev in Bahraich. Suheldev Express was started between Delhi to Ghazipur on 13 April 2016. In 2018, PM Modi also released a postage stamp in honor of King Suheldev. Overall, the BJP honored Suheldev in UP and raised him as a hero.
What is the demand of Rajbhar’s party Subhaspa?
Suheldev was the king of Shravasti in the 11th century, on the lake on which the war of King Suheldev and Salar Masood Ghazi was held, the people of Maharaja Suheldev Committee celebrate Vijayotsav and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party is the most aggressive on this dispute in UP and demand that a fair should be organized here in the name of Raja Suheldev.
Who was Salar Masood Ghazi?
Syed Salar Masood Ghazi Afghan attacker was the nephew of Mahmud Ghaznavi. Ghazi fought many wars as a commander. Salar Masood Ghazi is accused of robbing the Somnath temple in Gujarat, but a faction calls the robbery in the Somnath temple wrong because Salar Masood was 11 years old and at the age of 18, at the age of 18, King Suheldev defeated him in the war in Bahraich, UP. It is said that Syed Salar Masood was a tomb in Bahraich only after the death of Ghazi.
