An Agenda Behind The ‘Invented Mazars’? - News18
News 18Lalsalu, a Bengali novella by Bangladeshi author Syed Waliullah, is a captivating work of fiction that won global acclaim in the 1960s. The Tamil Nadu government, instead of applying penalties under the Mental Health Act, 1987, decided to monetarily compensate the families who had dumped their members at the dargah in the hope of a miracle cure. A number of such fake ‘mazars’ were also uprooted in the drive, as informed by Union Home Minister Amit Shah during an election rally in Gujarat. Pathak claimed that neither the Charity Commissioner of Baroda, the Archaeological Survey of India, nor the Gujarat Wakf Board had any registration of the said grave being claimed as a historic dargah. The Etah Dargah Scandal in Uttar Pradesh revealed how the Bade Miyan Dargah Committee encroached upon the government lands, and later sold them to private parties to rake in the moolah.
