Facts related to distribution of trishuls not only show that after the carnage in Gujarat in 2002 more than six thousand trishuls were distributed in the State but after the victory in Gujarat the pace of arming people has increased.

The traditional trishul displayed in temples could be excluded from this as two of its arms are blunt and turned sideways and the middle arm is pointed but not sharp.

 The Origin Of Trishul By Sheela Reddy
And it was not until around 800 years ago that the trishul became a part and parcel of Hindu imagery.
The trishul, Jha says, is being appropriated by political Hinduism the same way it claimed the cow as a holy symbol in the 19th century to counter British aggression.
For these hack painters of lurid religious pictures, a trishul was as indispensable to Shiva's depiction as the cobra coiled around his blue-fl neck, the tiger skin around his waist and the Ganga flowing in a neat arc from his topknot.

 Communalising Rajasthan - Trishul Distribution
But the VHP distributed Trishuls were not at all the iconic harmless Trishuls, which are not sharp at all, associated traditionally with Shiva temples and Shaivite orders.

The VHP in a bid to capitalise on this action of the State declared a "trishul diksha" by Togadia on the 13th of April.
