With an aim to present Indian History which has either been forgotten or misrepresented by some historians, director Anup Thapa, is coming up with a new project that will narrate the true event of the Somnath invasion by Mahmud Ghazni.
The movie “The Battle Story of Somnath” was written & directed by Anup Thapa and it will be released in 12 languages. For unreserved, Somnath Temple is First among the Twelve Jyotirlinga Shrines of Shiva.
The announcement of the main cast will be made later, as the focus is currently on developing the film’s story.
It is told in the video that in Satyuga, Lord Chandradev had built the Somnath temple with gold. After this, Ravana got this temple constructed from brass in Treta. In Dwapar Yuga, Lord Krishna got this temple built by a girl. But after this Mahmud Ghaznavi attacked the temple before 1025 AD. Common people fought to save the temple. More than 50 thousand people were sacrificed in this battle. After this, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel took up the task of rebuilding this temple and gave it a grand look.
Mahmud of Ghazni was a Turkish invader who attacked India 17 times between 1000 and 1024 AD for the dual purposes of accumulating wealth and spreading Islam. In 1024 AD, he raided Gujarat and took away all the wealth of the Somnath temple, damaging it severely. He was responsible for taking up a lot of wealth from India, plundering it for its resources and using them for the sake of his own empire.
In 1024 AD, he raided the temple of Somnath on the coast of Saurashtra. This was supposed to be one of his biggest raids. He broke the Jyotirlinga of Somnath’s Shiva temple. About 50,000 Hindus died in the Battle of Somnath, after which, Mahmood stole all the gold and riches from the temple.
In addition to the Somnath temple, he is thought to have destroyed temples in Kangra, Mathura, and Jwalamukhi. He earned the moniker ‘idol breaker’ as a result of anti-Hindu invasions.
