Urbanization is growing fast, but it is putting many historic Sufi sites in danger. These places, important for their spiritual and cultural value, are being damaged or lost as cities expand.
Sufi shrines and dargahs are sacred spaces where people gather for prayers and peace. However, new buildings, roads, and pollution are affecting these sites. The peaceful environment around them is disappearing, making it hard for visitors to connect with their spiritual roots.
In Pakistan, shrines once in quiet areas are now surrounded by busy cities, full of noise and traffic. In India, the famous Nizamuddin Dargah in Delhi struggles with overcrowding.
Saving these sites needs urgent attention. Experts suggest including them in city planning and providing funds for their care. Communities and governments should work together to protect these places before it’s too late.
If we don’t act now, future generations may lose these treasures, which hold stories of peace, love, and history.
