Almora and Islam: Downfall and Islamisation Of Almora

# Almora_and_Islam

In The year 2000  Uttarakhand became the new state of India. Kumaon was already divided into Almora and other districts, Junaid Bhai was a native of Aligarh, but the communal possibility behind the vision of employment in the new state brought him to Almora! Here, Junaid Bhai bought land from Prem Chand Verma ji to open a barber shop in Kachari Bazar. The shop continued to run normally, Junaid Bhai also started living mainly in the market, as if he was born on this! Often, when he used to meet everyone, he used to wear a wide spread Amitabh style jeans shirt and used to hide the Namaz and study it inside the house! After a few years Junaid Bhai also brought 3 brothers of his wife and his uncle Abdul to Almora from Aligarh.

Of the 3 brothers of wife, 2 opened a barber shop in the main market and uncle opened a garage in Dhar's Tuni, and the younger brother parted with him in the shop! Abdul took five minutes from the garage after 1 year After taking the land from Ishwar Chand Joshi, he also built a house. Suddenly, Junaid left wearing jeans shirt and started wearing a big kurta and small pajamas and started walking with a round cap in his pocket.

Whenever Junaid Bhai's brother used to go to Aligarh, some one would come with him and in the main places of the city like NTD and Dharanaula and Karbala, in the main markets, someone would become a barber. Now Junaid Bhai had 34 people in the city, Junaid Bhai now appeared in a new avatar with a round reticulated hat on his head and kurta pajamas and high achkan and kolapuri shoes on the feet, perfume in cotton on the ears and mouth watering in the rain. Pan atoms burst like a source! Suddenly a mosque was built in the city of Dhar at the northern end of the city and a mosque in the court market, the city people saw for the first time that someone wakes up before the chicken and five times a day, the Namaz is read in India, facing the Arabs.

Now suddenly Junaid Bhai used to say that Kafir would be abused by saying Kafir if there was no harmony in the market, even though the natives of the city still do not know the meaning of this Kafir word, today in every small and big business of the city and in the politics of the city Junaid's brother has his own and many of his own people have started living by building land on their own! Prem Chand ji returned to Almora last year under the grandeur of Kuldevi Nanda Devi, who had moved to London in September 2001 by selling a small piece of land near the house. Today Junaid Bhai's age is 76 years and he is looking for land for his younger son of Saharanpur's Fufa ji.
