Updated 2 hours ago Donors have raised more than Rs 7 lakh for a daily wage labourer the day after it was reported that his public library in Karnataka’s Mysuru city was burnt down by miscreants on Friday, crowdfunding platform Ketto said. The goal is to collect Rs 10 lakh in 46 days. Syed Issaq had set up the library in Rajiv Nagar Second Stage near Ammar Masjid in the city, The New Indian Express reported on Frday. Residents of the area were given free access to the library, which had a collection of 11,000 books.

Mysuru library with 11,000 books, thousands Bhagvad Gita, Quran, Bible copies, burned to ashes

Over 2,000 street food vendors in Jammu & Kashmir on a verge of starvation as govt orders night curfew A daily wager building a library, in itself is a heart-warming thing. A person keeping, preserving and collecting copies belonging to religions other than his own is an admirable thing. However, the miscreants who torched a public library run by the 62-year-old Syed Isaaq showed little understanding or empathy for either of the facts. In a horrific incident that took place in Mysuru, the library with a collection of over 11,000 books was set ablaze. Part of the collection comprised three thousand copies of Bhagvad Gita, over 1000 copies of Quran, among several other copies of the Bible. It s heart wrenching to imagine the plight of the man whose hard-earned money and well-intended efforts have been torched to ashes.
