Amagarh fort becomes a flashpoint between Hindu outfits & tribal Meena community

Amagarh Fort of Jaipur is at the centre of a conflict between the tribal Meena community and local Hindu groups.

Daily Current Affairs Quiz 2021

Members of the Meena community say the Amagarh Fort was built by a Meena ruler predating Rajput rule in Jaipur, and has been their holy site for centuries.

People from the community used to worship Amba Mata and other deities in the fort.

In June, following reports of idols being vandalised and hoisting of a saffron flag at the fort, Meena community members accused Hindu groups of trying to appropriate tribal symbols into the Hindutva fold, and of changing the name of Amba Mata to Ambika Bhawani.
