Dr. Bharat Gupt explains how Murti Pooja is an essential part of Hindu Dharma and how the British tried to destroy Sanatan Dharma by attacking Hinduism.
The idea of Murti Pooja is neither new nor unique to India. Across civilizations, throughout history, Murti Pooja was the norm. This started changing rapidly with the emergence and spread of Abrahamic religions. In these religions, Murti Pooja or Saguna Upasana was strictly prohibited. Wherever these religions went and conquered they destroyed the Murti’s and forbade Murti Pooja. All the ancient civilizations which faced Abrahamic religions failed to resist, only one succeeded, that was the Sanatan Dharma in Bharat.
