Within Jangpura, you would find Gurudwara, Temple, Masjid and even the Church. History - One Colonel Young, tasked with moving the villagers of Raisina - a village soon to disappear to to make way for the grand edifices of state to come up along Rajpath - established the colony of 'Youngpura' which was coloquiallised as Jangpura. Later, in 1950-51, it grew to add Jangpura Extension to accommodate many of the refugees who arrived in Delhi at the time of Partition of India. This accounts for Jangpura Extension's high Sikh population to date. This includes people from the villages in Rawalpindi district, including Thoa Khalsa, which witnessed a mass su***de by women during the Rawalpindi riots in March 1947, apart from Thamali and Mator Nara villages.[2] Each year, the year the Sikh community commemorates the event as Shahidi Diwas (Martyrs Day) on March 13. It's image along with neighbouring Lajpat Nagar across the railway line as a haven for refugees continues, with several Afghan and Iranian refugees, among others, finding shelter in the cheap housing offered in Bhogal and Lajpat Nagar. Bhogal's many old Punjabi eateries today share space with Afghan bakeries, and new Punjabi arrivals such as Giani's, an ice-cream parlour set up by a famous rabri purveyor of Old Delhi. Jangpura-Bhogal is home to a number of places of worship which represent every major religion, including St. Michael's Church, Shahi Masjid, Gurudwara Singh Sabha, Sanatan Dharm Mandir, the Sanatan Da Dera Gurudwara and the Bhogal Buddha Vihar.
