State of temples in Pakistan

A scene of an obscene nature

When most of the temples located in the city’s old quarters are either in poor physical shape or struggling to survive the greed of real estate builders, this little unknown temple is in good shape. Only the statues of Hindu deities are gone and a shop has been carved out instead.

The compound adjacent to the plot, where once stood the temple with its grandeur, has already been turned into an apartment building. A physical inspection of the very residential scheme suggests that the temple’s main structure, during the construction, was carved out untouched




Compare this with the condition of mosques and churches in India

An excellent book by Arun Shourie -> Hindu Temples: What Happened to Them
