Such attacks on temples are becoming frequent in Bharat. Earlier the Devi Mandir in Dasna was in news for attacking a Muslim boy who supposedly went inside the temple to collect water. The incident was reported by the liberal media as persecution of minorities and human rights violation. However the other side of the incident brought out Hindu Human rights violation, as the truth of Muslims desecrating the temple, bothering the Hindu women, etc came to light.
Women who came to the temple to pray were sexually harassed and there have been several robberies in the temple. There have also been cases of people urinating or desecrating the Shivling in the temple. Muslims constitute nearly 90% of the total population of Dasna. History has continued with the attack on the Shiva temple in Alampur.
