Somnath

Somnath stands as the unbroken symbol of a civilisation that chose resistance and renewal over surrender, every single time it was attacked.

PM Nehru wrote a series of letters between 1950 and 1951, wherein he expressed opposition to the reconstruction and consecration of the Somnath Temple. Nehru wrote around 17 letters to various officials, including Cabinet ministers, chief ministers, the President, the Vice President, and even to the Prime Minister of Pakistan, making his deep disdain for the Hindu community’s quest for reclamation of its destroyed temples known.

The exact date of construction of the pillar is not known, but its history dates back to the 6th century CE.
