Demography of Sambhal changed in 77 years of independence, Hindu population reduced by so much percentage

Sambhal Population: Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh is in the news due to two important incidents. Firstly, because of the survey of Jama Masjid for the first time on 19th November and secondly because of the opening of the doors of Shri Kartikeya Mahadev Temple after 46 years. Because of this temple, which opened after 46 years, many pages of history are now being turned.

Now memories of the 1978 riots are also becoming fresh in the minds of people. Politics is also happening on this. CM in the assembly Yogi Adityanath Claimed that 184 Hindus had died due to the riots of 1978. However, if we look at the media reports of that time, we will know that the official figure was 16-25 people. Samajwadi Party MLA Iqbal Mehmood in Sambhal also does not agree with CM Yogi’s claim. When the CM presented the figures in the House, Mehmood immediately said that if his claim was true then he himself would resign from his post.

CM Yogi targeted SP, read the couplets of Allama Iqbal and asked- Is he your ideal?

Amidst all this, the population of the district is also being discussed. According to one figure, in 1947, there were 55 percent Muslims and 45 percent Hindus in Sambhal. Now the Muslim population in Sambhal is 85 percent and the Hindu population is 15 percent. So far, 209 Hindus have died and 4 Muslims have been killed in different communal riots in Sambhal.
