[Reader-list] Kashmir - Distortions & Reality

[Pawan Durani]

Calling the Shankaracharya hill as *koh-i-Sulaiman* and ancient temple
thereon as *Takht-i-Sulaiman* is a later day ruse started sometime in the
19th century by some fanatical Muslims of Kashmir to complete the process of
Islamisation of the historically known places of Hindu worship in the Valley
and also to bury deep for ever the Hindu past of Kashmir. It is in line with
the demolition of the then famous Hindu temple of *Maharshi* (Vishnu) and
the erection thereon of a structure known now as Jama Masjid, conversion of
the *Mahakali Temple* near Fatehkdal, Srinagar into the present *
Shah-i-Hamadan* mosque, and the *Ekadasharudra* (Shiva) temple in Khanyar,
Srinagar into the Ziarat Dastgir Sahib, not to speak of hundreds of temples
throughout the Valley which were earlier destroyed completely or converted
into mosques, ziarats and dargahs, during the Muslim rule in Kashmir (14th
to 18th century A.D.)
