Mr BundelKhandi@BundelKhandee
This is Colonel Rajesh Pawar (Retired).
Recently, during a podcast, he claimed that the 'Sarva Dharma Sthal' was established within Army cantonments merely to facilitate promotions and garner fame for senior officers.
Oh, you fool!
Do you not realize that people of all faiths reside in India and that the Army comprises regiments representing various religious backgrounds? For Example
The JAKLI and JAK RIF Regiments, the soldiers are predominantly Muslim; yet, even in those regiments, there is no mosque-only a 'Sarva Dharma Sthal.'
The Madras Regiment - Where the soldiers are Christian - there is no church, but rather a 'Sarva Dharma Sthal.' Similarly,
The Sikh Regiment there is no Gurudwara, but a 'Sarva Dharma Sthal.'
And - most notably - in your own 19 RAJ RIF where the entire unit consists of Hindus, there is no temple; instead, there stands a 'Sarva Dharma Sthal.'
As the saying goes, the Commanding Officer is the true 'King' of his unit.
Instead of spouting this nonsense here, why didn't you raise these questions while you were still in the service - specifically, why the name of your unit's most sacred shrine wasn't changed back then? After all, during your service, you were working for the country. Now that your resettlement hasn't worked out, you are undermining the very national army that brought you to the position you hold today; in other words, you are biting the very hand that fed you.
