  1. Who to blame ? RAW or our own Intelligence ? Very painful indeed. Matter of fact, the Mazaars have a mixed reputation all over the Sub-continent. Millions of people visit Taj-Mahal and praise its' beauty. The only one who does not know is the lady buried under tons of earth. So is the case with Mazaars. Abdullah Shah Gazi does not know that his Mazaar became criminals' and smugglers' den, neither new Bari Imam that his had become heaven for dancing girls and gamblers. Mazaars are run on emotions but a lot a foul hidden agenda behind it. We ought to follow the real teachings of these Saints instead of abusing their reputation and using them for commercial gains.
