The Buddhist statue which had more than 3000 years history was built at the time when China
had power in Afghanistan. At that period
Bamyian province was the biggest religious holy place of Buddhist. Buddha was in reality a common person but his great brain
represented him as famous teacher of religion. Buddha expressed to people of that time , how to react with animals and all other necessary issues. Buddha had written different books whenever he was in another country. Buddha prohibited to hunt
animals and even to create problems for them. Buddha also appeared to show people how to be helpful and kind for each other
in different circumstances and showed people the same right of human being. Buddha traveled to different countries to exaggerate
about his religion. But people at time with darkness of less education did not realize about ideas of Buddha until he died.
When Buddha died people were awared
of Buddha's great imagination but they accepted him as their God and they started to build statues of Buddha and worship them.
So because they loved very much Buddha so people got together to build a big statue of Buddha in Bamyian so first they built
it from dirt and then covered it from jewelry but not only Buddha was covered by jewelry because the all that place around
Buddha's statue was covered of jewelry .But when England wanted to conquer Afghanistan so they looted about every valuable
things of Buddha's and then the Arabs when came to Afghanistan so they started to loot they remaining from England's time .
In every regime something valuable from part of Buddha's had taken and at last once again by Taliban who were Pakistanis and Arabs
were demolished totally but the reason behind the demolishing of it was a big revenge against India. When Indian people destroyed
the Mosque of Babury and wanted to build in place of it a Daramsal (Indian worship
place) so at that time all the Islamic groups in Pakistan protested against this behavior of Indian nation but Indian did
what they wanted. So this behavior severely buried in the hearts of these Islamic groups in Pakistan as a big revenge.
They were all seeking for a chance
to response against these Indian by destroying a Daramsal(Indian worship place) or an Idol until they found something which
is the most historical and valuable for Buddhist people in Afghanistan. Taliban who were all controlled by Pakistan's government
and also by support of Arabs so they planned to destroy the Buddha's statue to take their revenge from Indians . But they
performed a trick behind the curtains like showing people of all world of destroyed statue but in reality the statue was cut
by Pakistanis architects in several parts and had taken to Pakistan. They only left some useless places of it in Bamyian.
So people of world are waiting when this Buddha will appear in a different shape in Pakistan.
