Indore: The demand for Sundar Kand and Hanuman Chalisa has increased a lot in Indore following the ongoing loudspeaker controversy across the country. The demand for both these religious texts has increased by 25 to 30 per cent compared to the usual days. The special thing is that not only Hindi in Indore, but also the Hanuman Chalisa of Urdu is in great demand. Amid the controversy over the removal of loudspeakers from mosques and religious places, the atmosphere over Hanuman bhakti has increased in Indore. According to the religious bookseller, earlier 200 to 250 Hanuman Chalisa used to be sold in a day, but now they are being sold from 350 to 400.

Earlier, apart from the Hindi, there was a sale of Hanuman Chalisa of other languages, but now people are buying Hanuman Chalisa written in Urdu. Trilochan Singh, a seller of religious books, said Sindhis and Sikhs who have come to India from Pakistan can read Urdu better than Hindi. Due to this, the sale of Urdu Hanuman Chalisa is going on tremendously.

Sunny Sahayata says he left Pakistan with his entire family in 2008 and moved to India. In Pakistan, there is always a situation of fear due to looting. There is peace and harmony in India. I don't know Hindi, so I recite Hanuman Chalisa in Urdu. I'm learning slowly. Reciting the Hanuman Chalisa brings new energy to the body. The largest shop for religious books in Indore, more than 100 years old, is the Sardar Sohan Singh Book Centre. Lal Bahadur Singh, the owner of the shop, said that in Indore, though the recitation of Hanuman Chalisa is mostly done in Hindu families, but now people of other languages are also reciting it. These days, the shops in the city are getting Hanuman Chalisa in Marathi, Kannada, Punjabi, Telugu, English and Urdu languages along with Hindi.
