Who is the alleged saint Asaram?
The alleged saint Asaram, who was sentenced to life imprisonment in a rape case, was born on 17 April 1941 in Nawabshah district of the present Sindh province of Pakistan. Asaram’s childhood name was Asumal. During the partition of 1947, Asaram’s father Nagarseth Thomalji Sirumlani and mother Mondhiba left Pakistan and came to Ahmedabad. His childhood was spent in extreme poverty.
After reaching Ahmedabad, Asaram’s father started working in wood and coal to earn the family’s livelihood. When he started earning some income from this business, Asaram’s father sent him to a school to study. After completing his studies, Asaram got married to Lakshmi. After marriage, when financial crisis started again, Asaram took the path of spirituality and changed his name from Asumal to Asaram.
As soon as he donned the cloak of religion, the family’s income started increasing day by day. After this Asaram married his daughter Bharti. But due to Asaram’s interference in the daughter’s in-laws house, she soon got divorced. After his daughter’s divorce, Asaram included her in his group.
