Days after the Taliban captured power in Afghanistan, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that destructive forces and people who follow the ideology of creating empires through terror can dominate for "some time," but they will eventually be unseated because they "cannot suppress humanity forever."Modi was speaking while laying a foundation stone for multiple projects in Somnath in the state of Gujarat. Somnath temple, built around 4 AD, was destroyed by Muslim invaders from Afghanistan on several occasions between 1026 to 1800, but was restored each time."This was true when some attackers were demolishing Somnath, it is equally true even today when the world is apprehensive of such ideologies," he said.He added that the multiple restorations of the temple sent a message to the world that "truth cannot be defeated by falsehood, and faith cannot be crushed under the feet of terror."

Sputnik correspondent
The Bharatiya Janata Party-led federal government has been slammed by various opposition leaders and activists for delaying talks with the Taliban* – while the country's strategy in dealing with the Afghanistan situation has been blasted as "flawed."
Days after the Taliban captured power in Afghanistan, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said that destructive forces and people who follow the ideology of creating empires through terror can dominate for "some time," but they will eventually be unseated because they "cannot suppress humanity forever."
Modi was speaking while laying a foundation stone for multiple projects in Somnath in the state of Gujarat. Somnath temple, built around 4 AD, was destroyed by
Muslim invaders from Afghanistan on several occasions between 1026 to 1800, but was restored each time.
"This was true when some attackers were demolishing Somnath, it is equally true even today when the world is apprehensive of such ideologies," he said.
He added that the multiple restorations of the temple sent a message to the world that "truth cannot be defeated by falsehood, and faith cannot be crushed under the feet of terror."
