Reopening Somnath: Nehru hesitated, Patel & Rajendra Prasad didn't
Somnath Temple marks 1000 years since Mahmud of Ghazni's attack. In 2026, it also celebrates 75 years since its restoration and reopening in 1951. Despite repeated attacks, the temple was rebuilt by great leaders like Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Its survival showcases India's indomitable spirit and the power of faith over destruction.
