Such events have been largely ignored by big media.
Three days ago, a large crowd gathered at the famous Ajmer Sharif Dargah in protest of âblasphemyâ. The
dargah, where lies the grave of Persian âSufiâ Muslim preacher Khwaja Moinuddin Chisty, had been declared closed until 30 April a few days earlier.
At a time when state governments are struggling to control crowds, the
dargah management called the crowd to save the honour of their Prophet, in their own words.
