Who is Syed Salar Masood Ghazi?
Actually, Syed Salar Masood Ghazi is known as the nephew and commander of Mahmud Ghaznavi. Mahmud Ghaznavi who was notorious to attack the Indian subcontinent. Mahmud Ghaznavi attacked 17 times in India from 1000 to 1027. It is said that Mahmud Ghaznavi attacked many big Hindu temples including Somnath Temple.
Syed Salar Masood Ghazi (10 February 1014–15 June 1034), also known as Ghazi Mian, also known as religious personality. More information about Syed Salar Masood is found from a book called “Mirat-i-Masudi”, which was written by Abdurrahman Chishti in the 1620s. In this book, he has been described as the nephew of Mahmud Ghaznavi, Emperor of the Ghaznavi Empire and said that he participated in several military operations for the Ghaznavi Empire in India. However, Ghaznavi historians have not mentioned them about them and this book is primarily a Hazigranth (based on the life of saints), which is doubted from a historical perspective.
Opposition of Hindu organizations
Hindu organizations say that Syed Salar Masood Ghazi attacked India several times. Looted the Somnath temple. No fair should be organized in the memory of such a person.
