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.
