Ram Mandir Dispute Explained

25 Nihang Singhs surround the mosque from all 4 sides and write 'Ram' with coal inside the mosque. On the other hand, lashkar-e-Taiba's 5 terrorists enter to attack. They gather 500 Muslim followers and attack on Hanuman Garhi.

A cow is murdered in Shahjahanpur village of Ayodhya. There was a monkey who rode on to Gumbat carrying a saffron flag. 'Ram Lalla we're here, we'll make the temple here' When the Azan was made, at the same time conch was blown.

Even if there was soil, the priests prayed on top of the soil. But they didn't stop the prayer. Entire planning was plotted to destroy the controversial structure.

And it was done because. . .

Uma Bharti had her hair chopped off so that she might not get recognised. Pakistan destroys 30 Hindu temples in its country. Congress in the race of supporting both of the groups, it had turned a blind eye.

Ram's birthplace, the oldest & most complicated issue of India's history regarding which if people talk about it even today, then they become sensitive. Due to this one dispute, not only in Ayodhya or in a state but the entire India suffered with riots. And thousands of people lost their lives & this was such a case where Lord Ram fights for his case himself.

A proper file is created in the supreme court. And I'm sure that you would surely know about this issue but in 1405 pages of judgement of Supreme court there're such details in which you'll understand the actual reason why this was continuing from 16th century till today. I've read this entire judgement and in this whole video, you won't hear such a thing from my mouth which is out of the judgement of the supreme court or government report or news or out of the archeological survey's report.

The reason behind making this video is that for once, keeping our biases on the side, we'll look on the basis of facts that why did all these things happen? What were the reasons behind them? And what does supreme court actually say?

So, in India this is Uttar Pradesh & in Uttar Pradesh, this area is of Ayodhya district. Earlier, its nae was Faizabad district but now it has been changed Ayodhya district. So, in Ayodhya district beside this Saryu river, this is the 2.

77 acres of land the plot number is 583 regarding which India's biggest and oldest land dispute in its history had started. And in today's date, Ram Temple is being constructed here. And now, in the news you'll be looking at this map for Ram Temple.

The entire green part that you're looking at this is an area of 67. 7 acres land but the disputed area isn't this green part disputed area is the 2. 77 acres of land - which is also called plot number 583.

Even in this 0. 313 acres of area is the actual disputed area. Here itself the Ram Temple is being constructed.

Now you might be questioning that why wasn't it made in the entire 67. 7 acres of land and why in that specific area? So, wait a little.

You'll understand all the things step by step. So, it was the time of 500 BC & Hindi legendary books like Ramayan, Bhavisya Puran In fact, scripts of Lomesh Ramayan if we add all these details then, Ayodhya was the capital of Kingdome of Kosala. So, from here that Lord Ram's son - Maharaja Kush constructs the first Ram Temple in Lord Ram's birthplace in Ayodhya in memory of his father & then with generations, their successors ruled this area.

So, 44 kings ruled this area from their generation. And the last king was, Brihadbala - who ruled Ayodhya, now in his time - the Mahabharata had started. And in the battle of Mahabharata, Brihadbala was ki*led by Abhimanyu & after his de*th, the condition of Ayodhya & Ram Temple gets worse.

It was about to get converted in ruins. Now, after this comes year 57 AD, Ujjain's king - Maharaja Vikramaditya reaches Ayodhya for hunting and meets Santo & when he gets to know its history, he gest very impressed. After this, he reconstructs Ram Temple & the city of Ayodhya.

So, at his time time - Ram Temple, and the infrastructure of entire Ayodhya was heavily developed & the judgement of supreme court about this on page number 673 it was mentioned as well. Now, everything was going pretty good until here. Then comes year 1526.

When Battel of Panipat had occurred. Mohammad Babur, defeats Ibrahim Lodhi in battle of Panipat and after this, then on 20 April 1526, Babur enters India. Now, things change from here because at that time, if there was a ruler who used to control an area or wins it, then the other religion present there, all their religious structures were replaced by the structures of their own religious faith.

To show the dominance of its own kingdom. And the inscriptions during Mughals contained all these information - like Tarikh - I- Avadh by Muhammad Qasim Akhbar -I- Mas'ud by Abd al Qadir - they mention it. So, 2 years later Babur, after conquered India that is in year 1528 calls his commander Mir baqi and Kot Ram Chandra, a village in Ayodhya which had 2.

77 acres of a land asks him to construct a mosque there. And Ram Temple was already there which was destroyed for the construction, wait a little for it we'll discuss it further. So, the mosque is constructed & the name of the mosque was Babri Masjid.

The Babri Masjid that was constructed in Kota Ram Chandra of Faizabad district, which is now called Ayodhya district and in its Sadar Tehsil, Pargana Haveli Avadh. The painters of that time had painted this mosque, it looked like this from the river. The location of this mosque is very important - all of these happened because of it.

So, let me show you this location on map as well. This map was used in court. The X, Y and Z marked on this map - the mosque was constructed here.

Why is Sita Rasoi and Ram Chabutra written in it, we'll discuss it further. When this Babri Masjid was constructed at that time, then the local people around the village had shown anger in a suppressive voice that this is the birthplace of Ram. But at taht time, nothing had happened.

Now the Mughals, were ruling generation after generation and until 1857, the era of Mughals was at the brink of end. And at this time, one thing had happened which was very important for this case. That there were 7 Englishmen who had come to travel in northern and western part of India and they used to make their travel notes.

In these travel notes, they used to write about Ayodhya. Ram Temple & how people pray there, they used to write about everything. William Foster in his book - Early Travels in India - had mentioned about it.

And in page number 663 of the judgement. You'll get to know about it. These & travellers who write some notes while travelling in Ayodhya.

There're some statements, you can pause and read - which they wrote while travelling. The travel notes of Joseph Tiefenthaler and William Finch - was very important. Many things were written that first there was Ram Temple, how they saw people praying there all these things are mentioned in it.

Joseph had made the map of that particular time & I'm telling all these things because further, its plays a very important role in the judgement of Supreme court. And works as written proof of existence of Ram Temple Now, the Mughals were getting weak in India & at the same time Sawai Jai Singh, was very concerned regarding Ram Temple. He was also attached to this temple.

So, when Mughals became weak and the era of Britishers was starting, at that time Sawai Ji Singh - just after the mosque bought an area and constructed a Ram Chabutra. So, that Hindus - since couldn't go inside, atleast they could pray from outside. So, Hindus used to pray in this Ram Chabutra facing towards the central dome of the mosque.

This is the original map. The X,Y,Z - marked areas was the mosque & on this side was the Ram Chabutra Sita Rasoi, Hanuman Dwar - Hindus started praying in this entire area and now you might be thinking that the N,H,O,P,J,K,L - what is this line? An incident had occurred due to which Britishers had made this in compulsion.

Now, that incident will come further. So, what happens is - after the Chabutra was constructed at the same place - on one side there was a Namaz area and on the other hand lord Ram was being worshipped. Now, after this the era of Mughals had ended.

And Britishers had entered India. So, when Britishers came India's group reported their issue regarding Ram Temple they started saying that this mosque has replaced Ram Temple, which existed earlier & the Britishers were being troubled by the local people. So, in year 1838 Britishers - their administrator - Robert Montgomery martin was appointed and told him to survey this area & tell what was present earlier.

And submit a report related to it. Now, Martin completes his survey and makes a report in 3 parts. In this, Martin said that the disputed land on which Hindus and Muslims are fighting over the place where the mosque persists currently, earlier there was a temple.

And he said that there was a temple but the mosque that has been constructed - was it made after demolishing the temple or in a plain area - nothing can be said about this. And the exact language that he used was, you can pause it and read. You'll get it in the page number 669-671 of the judgement.

Now, after hearing the report raise their voice even more. They said that, this is the birthplace of Ram Lalla and this Babri Masjid is constructed on it. So, these things go on & then comes year 1853 A few yards away from the birthplace of Ram, there was Hanuman Garhi, who were maintained by Bairagi Saint who belonged to Nirmohi Akhara.

So, after Martin report's in an unrest high area, after some time the saints of Hanuman Garhi say that - this mosque was made after demolishing Ram temple and they go to take control in this mosque area due to which riots occur and this was the first recorded riot due to this the tension between Hindu and Muslim increase & until the coming 2 years, riots occur in between Hindu and Muslim. Now after 2 years, in year 1855 a Sunni Cleric Ghulam Hussain say that this Hanuman Garhi earlier there was a mosque and this temple is made after demolishing the mosque and he gathers almost 500 Muslim followers and attack on Hanuman Garhi but 8000 Bairagi Saints had already reached there, a huge fight takes place in which the Muslim side suffers huge loss and 75 Muslims lose their lives. The book of Sarvepalli Gopal - Anatomy of a Confrontation - also mentions about it and also in the page number 675 of the judgement.

So, due to these riots there was a huge unrest and Britishers were troubled by all these, so what they did was - they divided these disputed land between Hindus and Muslims now Britishers felt that tis would make things in control but that doesn't happen. So, in year 1857 Britishers use grill and bricks to make a 6-7 feet tall wall on the disputed land. The N,H,O,P,J,K,L line that you can see on the map - this wall was built by Britishers.

Now, after this in the outer portion the Hindus started praying & in the inner portion, Muslims had started reading Namaz. Nobody was happy with this division, neither the Hindus nor the Muslims. But at that time, people had to obey the Britishers so they obey it.

Now, after this comes the date - 28th November, 1858. On this day, Punjab's Mahant Nihang Singh Fakir brings 25 more Nihang Sikhs reaches on the disputed land - that is the birthplace of Ram & directly enter the mosque and start chanting & praying. And while they're praying, 25 Nihang Sikhs surround the mosque by all 4 sides and write 'Ram' with coal inside the mosque.

And even pray to Guru Nanak Ji. They increase the height of Ram Chabutra. They place the picture of Lord Ram and increase the area to pray and chant.

The mosque's Muezzin - Sayyed Muhammed Khateeb make a written complaint to the area's Thanedar - Sheetal Dubey that these things are going on this is the original copy of this complaint. This application was written exactly. After this, the authority reach there force Nihang Singh out of it.

try to rescue it but the conflict doesn't seem to stop. At the same time, when Azaan was done at the same time, the conch was played. Due to which day by day the tension was increasing and back to back, complaints were being filed from both sides.

After this, comes the year 1877 - here the Hindus say that the outer portion is ours. We want the Singh Dwar to be opened. The entry from one side causes problems, so the entry would eb from two sides.

So, the authority agrees. Now this disputed land, had two entries. Now until 6 years, things were in control but after this comes year 1883.

Now, the priest of Ram Chabutra - Mahant Raghuvar Das - asks permission that I'm the Mahant of this Ram Chabutra & I've been praying since long time I want to construct a 17 by 21 feet temple, but in 19th of January 1885 Deputy Commissioner stops this. They feel that it can fuel fuel riots, so its also not allowed. But Mahant said that, the outer portion is ours.

You gave it to us, so what is the problem on constructing this side. Now, this angers people & 5 days later, on 27th January, 1885 Mahant Raghuvar Das, the priest of Ram Chabutra files a case in court, but on 18th March 1886, the District Judge dismiss this appeal. He says that, let the current situation prevail.

Otherwise, it'll cause trouble but after this, again on 1st November 1886, they appeal but this time court says that Mahant Raghuvar Das doesn't have any ownership on it. He prays but he doesn't have any rights on it. That is why he can't lead the construction.

Now, these small things were happening this side. But after this comes the date - 27th of March, 1934 at this particular time, a cow is murdered in Shahjahanpur village of Ayodhya. Lot of Riots occur, not on a small level but on a large level people were so angry in it that they attack the mosque.

Due to this attack, the wall of the mosque is destroyed and the dome is damaged. But the British India Government, reconstructs it. Now, after this incident the Muslims weren't feeling secure and secondly, Muslims believed that Hindus pray there & people are reading Namaz at the same place, so it goes against 'Shariyat' that its not the correct way for Namaz, so Muslims avoid reading Namaz there.

But the outer portion, which was given to Hindus, the proper prayer was done, Bhajans were sung. All the things were done. After this comes the year - 1947.

Our country gets independence and 2 years later, in December 1949 - Akhil Bhartiya Ramayana Mahasabha the outer portion, the Hindu area - they organise a 9 day Ramcharitmanas recitation & when it was going to end so, it was the night of 22nd December - they keep the idol of Ram Lalla inside the mosque and in the morning of next day - that is 23rd December, 1949 lot of Hindus line up to visit. People say that, Ram Lalla has been emerged, but when Muslims see all these things. So, in 29th December, 1949 - Sunni central WAQF board register an FIR.

Nobody was complaining individually from the Muslim side or going for the case instead - Sunni central workboard, fights the battle. In the complaint they say that the Hindu's are telling lies, Ram Lalla didn't emerge instead they've installed the idol themselves so that, the area of mosque - to gain position in the central dome. Now the situation of riot was arising again, the idol of Ram Lalla - was being visited by people far away.

And the rules that were made, weren't being followed. The government locks the inner portion of the mosque so as not to worsen the situation. And Hindus were watching it from outer portion & they were also worried that Ram Lalla is locked up in a jail.

Now, after this the home minister - Sardar Vallabhai Patel and PM Jawaharlal Nehru tells the CM of UP - Govind Ballabh Pant & Up's Home Minister - Lal Bahadur Shastri to remove the Ram Lalla's idol from the mosque and the Chief Minister does the same. He orders to remove the mosque but the deputy commissioner of Faizabad at that time K. K.

Nair - refuses to do it. He says that it would be like playing with fire. There's crowd everywhere and nobody wouldn't make such a mistake that he would take out the idol.

People would call him a sinner. Attacks can also happen on him, so this isn't a correct decision. This can also cause riots in the entire city but even then when the pressure is increased then K.

K. Nair says that I don't want to do this job. He resigns.

So, all these things were discussed through letter. And after multiple discussions, the government feels the situation & decides that they won't take the idol out, but to not anger both the sides, so for that on 5th January, 1950 - it tells the Magistrate to order that now, this area would be locked for the common people. All the portions - inner and outer should be locked.

Only one thing is done in it that - only the priests are allowed to pray to Ram Lalla in the Ram Chabutra of outer portion and to present sacrifices & the common people can visit from far. And after this its decided that who does inner portion & outer portion belong to - whose fault is it. Who does the ownership belong to?

All these things will be decided through court & until the court decides, everything will work this way. Now, looking at all these things on 16th January, 1950 - Gopal Singh Visharad files a case in Faizabad court that I want to offer a prayer & I'm denied of it and that too in the portion which is already ours. Along with this, 1959 - Nirmohi Akhara files a separate case.

So, looking at all these things court takes it seriously and orders that this entire disputed area would have an official map ready. This order was issued on 1st April, 1950. And on 25th June, 1950 - local commissioner submits two site plans of this entire area firstly, this map and secondly - along with this building with locality - he gives these map.

Now, when it was decided that the entire decision will be decided from court then back to back cases are filed. Hindu's say that we should be permitted to conduct pujas to Ram Lalla inside. And Muslim's say that - this idol should be taken out of the mosque.

The are of mosque in the court is displayed as the disputed structure. And the rest of the land was termed as disputed area. From the Muslim's side - Sunni WAQF board was fighting the case.

They said that this mosque was made by Babar. Babar was a Sunni & according to that the land belongs to Sunni central WAQF board. Now, all the people filing cases - all the cases were gathered and transferred to the high court together.

But it was being delayed a lot in this process because, the decision was ruining the harmony in the entire country. Now, the Hindu organization like VHP, RSS, weren't happy with all these things. They felt that, this way they will never get the land, so for this they made different teams and started the work.

Now, in between - in the year 1980, the Janta Party dissolved into a new party whose named was BJP. Now, after this in April 1984, VHP starts a campaign so that from all over India the issue of constructing the Ram Temple would increase a lot. So, VHP plans for Rath Yatra in different parts of India so that they gain the support of entire country.

And the plan in it was to give speeches in different places and spread this entire issue to every corner of the country so that the pressure on the government increases. So, their plan was to do Rath Yatra in September 1984 but at that time Indira Gandhi di*s & the situation of the country worsens, so this Yatra is stopped. In between elections are conducted and first time, BJP stands up in the election.

In fact, BJP's first manifesto wasn't about Ram Temple, so election is conducted and first time BJP stands in the election their performance wasn't that good. They get only 2 seats and due to this Atal Bihari Bajpayee was removed and Lal Krishna Advani was made the president. Now, after this, next year in October 1985 - VHP starts Rath Yatra at 25 places and they get heavy support of people.

Due to which everyone was surprised & this was the time, when Lal Krishna Advani connected BJP with the issue of Ram Temple so now to construct Ram Temple, RSS, BJP, VHP were coming together and getting heavy support by people & in the same year 1985 Congress also gets stuck when the supreme court decision regarding Shah Bano case is released. Due to that decision, many Muslim groups were in anger this anger was so huge that Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi, couldn't control it. So, what he did was that he made a new act & turned over the decision of the supreme court regarding Shah Bano case now, as soon as it happened - allegations were imposed on Rajiv Gandhi that he is doing politics of Muslim appeasement the entire Hindu belt was talking more about VHP & BJP, along with it - on 25th January, 1986 Lawyer Umesh Chandra Pandey appealed that restriction on Hindus to conduct Pujas to Ram Lalla should be removed.

So, this causes lot of tension among the people, government comes under pressure so amidst, all these things that were happening, the judge of high court orders that for the visitation of Hindus, the gate of Ram Lalla would be opened. Now this decision is very normal, but a lot of turmoil is caused due to this decision. Because the way it was imposed, Rajiv Gandhi was being questioned that in the coming elections, to gain Hindu vote bank to his side again this step was taken.

Because, as soon as this order was released from the high court - within 40 minutes the lock was opened. And the lock that was opened, this entire process was telecasted in Live TV in fact, government had assured the court that if the lock is opened then there won't be any problem of law and order. But when it was locked, they said that it would cause the problem of law and order that's why its important to lock it.

But at this particular time - things changed. In this entire case, the hurry that was there created a doubt in their intention because it wasn't going through a normal court procedure. Rajiv Gandhi was blamed that he did for the damage control of Shah Bano case and Hindu Appeasement.

So, with this Rajiv Gandhi was stuck from all 2 sides. And when the lock is opened, the Hindu groups increased their wish to construct Ram Temple and looking at all these things, Muslims made Babri mosque action committee whose work as to deal with this issue and move ahead. Because this issue had taken a political angel but Babri mosque action committee wasn't presented in the court.

from Muslims side Sunni WAQF board was the only party. On the other hand the opposite party was Nirmohi Akhada the priests who prayed on Ram Chabutra and 3rd party, Ram Lalla himself was the one. Actually, there's a law in India that if there's an issue regarding a temple, then the deities can fight the case for their rights & all the documents could be presented by any of his worshipper.

So, in year 1989 - Devki nandan Agarwal who was also a former judge and leader of VHP he presents all the documentation on behalf of Ram Lalla & after this death Triloki Nath Pandey fights the case, so case were filed a lot but the main party were 3 in number - Sunni WAQF board, Nirmohi Akhada and Ram Lalla, himself whose name was written in court as Ram Lalla Virajman. Now after the lock was opened, in year February 1989 Kumbh Mela was organised and it was announced in it that - Its Enough! Now 9 months later, on 9th November 1989 foundation would be laid.

A foundation stone would be put on the disputed area. In a way, this was believed as a symbolic act, which means that - here a construction would start, so this was promoted by VHP in every village, people did ShilaPujan in which people would write 'Ram' on the bricks and take it to Ayodhya, that these bricks would be used to construct Mandir & more than 3. 5 lakhs Shilas were gathered and brought Ayodhya.

But the event that they planned of the foundation shouldn't face any problem, for that - VHP leaders on 17th October, 1989 took assurance from home minister Buta Singh. He assured that there won't be any problem and the central government doesn't interfere in it, doesn't impose any restriction but this event had chances of riots because lot of people were gathering and if Muslims also come then there were chances of fights. But on 9th November, 1989 - home minister Buta Singh and UP's CM - Narayan datt Tiwari foundation is laid in their presence & no riots or fights occur.

With one step at a time, VHP & RSS were taking to construct the temple & elections were coming, so looking at all these things BJP also jumps into it. In November 1989, Lal Krishna Advani he announced Rath Yatra which was differently announced from VHP's Rath Yatra this Rath Yatra is started from Gujrat's Somnath Temple in September, 1990 and this entire Rath Yatra as arranged entirely by Narendra Modi for which he was praised as well. *Narendra Modi speaking* this Rath Yatra had to pass through different regions travelling 10,000 kms and reach Ayodhya, when this Yatra starts then entire India gets in turmoil and BJP party gets highlighted due to it.

Due to this Yatra, the issue of Ram Temple arose all over India. And even riots occurred at many places, specially at places where Hindu-Muslim population balance wasn't equal. This Rath Yatra, reaches bihar on 22nd October 1990.

As soon as Advani reaches Bihar on 22nd October 1990, at 3 o' clock at night, in Samastipur of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav get Lal Krishna Advani arrested. Lalu Prasad Yadav said that this step was taken as its causing riots in the country & the situation of Bihar will get worse, so - this Yatra is stopped here. *Lalu Prasad Yadav* BJP who won 2 seats in 1984, the decision of Lal Krishna Advani to connect with the issue of Ram temple worked & in the election of 1989 - BJP directly wins 85 seats.

UP, Rajasthan - MP, Himachal Pradesh BJP government is formed in these states & after this Lal Krishna Advani became a huge name in BJP & the country and constructing Ram Temple was added to the manifesto of BJP, now this Yatra is stopped in Bihar but on 30th October 1990, this Yatra had to be completed at Ayodhya were Ram Lalla was present. So, when Lal Krishna Advani's Yatra stops in Bihar, then other Karsevaks reaches Ayodhya Karsevaka are those people who do Kar Seva means working without any greed for own religion. So, they said that even though the Yatra was stopped in Bihar but they'll go to Ayodhya and do Kar Seva there.

But Mulayam Singh said that not even a bird lay its feet in the disputed area and if anyone will come then it won't be good. The Kar Sevaks, took it as a challenge and on 30th October Kar Sevaks reached Ayodhya at the disputed area where the police stops them. So, Kar sevaks had a saint who was earlier a driver, so he takes the Police bus from the side, loads the Kar sevaks in it reach the disputed area & tries to put a Saffron flag on Babri Mosque but on the order of Mulayam Singh the Kar sevaks are fired by the police due to which more than 30 Karsevaks lose their lives.

When all these things happened then, a co-incidence also occurred, even a monkey took a Saffron Flag & rode on Gumbat so, the Kar Sevaks believed to be a form of Lord Hanuman. After this comes the year 1991. And BJP was very strong.

All over India, everyone was talking about BJP - and in UP BJP wins. on 24th June, 1991 - for the first time, BJP government is formed in UP & from BJP Kalyan Singh becomes the CM of UP. And the central government had Congress winning in it.

So, P. V. Narsimha Rao was elected a PM - BJP got 221 seats due to which everyone was surprised and after this, the importance of Ram Temple was understood even by the politicians.

As soon as Kalyan Singh becomes CM, he goes to Ayodhya and vows & says that - Ram Lalla, we're here. We'll make the temple here. And this slogan also becomes famous & few days later, on 7th October 1991 Kalyan Singh takes a huge decision, under the land acquisition act, section 4, 6 and 17 takes the area around the disputed area to the state government.

In this act, if the state government wants it can acquire land for tourism & development. Kalyan Singh, that is the state government - firstly took the area under them. Then there was a trust Ram Janam Bhoomi Nyas - it was VHP trust whose objective was to construct Ram's birthplace, so this trust is given the entire lease in the cost of one rupee.

And it was said that - in this area Shri Ram Kath Park would be made for tourism and development. But just after, Muslim groups reach court that they're forcefully doing it, this is un-constitutional. So, after this high court puts stay order on this decision 7 the lands that were given in lease to the trust is out on hold & court does one more thing in it - that no construction would be allowed on this land.

Means nobody can make even a small construction on this disputed land because different tricks were played from both sides of the group to take possession. They were putting money and buying the land around disputed area & lot of people were giving funds and donation as well. After this, the year starts 1992 and Kalyan Singh that is BJP government was there, in January 1992 the first thin g which happens is - the disputed land had barriers around it.

So, those barriers are removed, before this nobody could enter this are with out permission but when the barriers are removed then travelling gets more facilitated. So, in the starting of year these barriers were removed & in the month of Faid RSS, BJP, VHP & Bajrang Dal - held a meeting. Now, many things were rumored about this meeting former head of intelligence bureau - Maloy Krishna Dhar - he claimed that in this meeting - 6th December, 1992 that is few months later - it was planned to demolish the entire disputed structure and it was done so that, the case would be strong in court.

Because, if there'll be a mosque on that land then court wouldn't decide on their side. So, the IB officer Maloy Krishna Dhar - he claimed that his security was applied. They even recorded the meeting and gave to his senior but nothing happened with it.

In this, Maloy even blamed Congress's Narsimha Rao that Congress in efforts of supporting both the groups, had turned a blind eye. All these allegations that he imposed, is mentioned in his book - Open secrets India's intelligence and after that, the sting operation of Cobra Post was also constructed in which it was said that the planning had lready started 10 months before. The video is still on youtube.

Now after this, things get more intense, on 24th March, 1992 - Kalyan Singh, UP's CM - without any fear gives a public statement that whether our government persists or not - Ram Temple should be constructed. The problem in this entire scenario was that, the Hindu groups said that they should be permitted to construct and conduct Pujas this area but the order wasn't from court, construction wasn't allowed. On 7th July, 1992 for the first time Publicly, VHP spread its word to the people & said indirectly that If the construction couldn't be done, then the disputed structure can be demolished.

Court didn't say anything on it. Hearing all this, the tension Ayodhya and the entire India had increased. Because nobody knew what would happen.

On 24thb September, 1992 - VHP says that it won't go this way - you've 3 months of time. Government should let us do construction & if not then, we'll not wait - we'll take the next step. Now these 3 months pass government doesn't do anything.

The negotiation also collapse. So, on 30th October, Dharam Sansad held a meeting in Delhi. In Dharma Sansad - different Hindu Organisations make strategy to construct Ra Temple.

In this meeting, it was decided that on 6th December, 1992 Kar Seva would be done in Ayodhya. Now, it meant that they'll take one fist of soil from Ram Chabutra few yards away from it and recite Bhajan & Kirtan. But, many people had fear that - the it was planned to demolish the disputed structure.

And after this meeting, the entire India was under tension that on 6th December That what would happen on the 6th of December, 1992. Then later, this Kar Seva program was discussed to be stopped. Then, CM of UP, Kalyan Singh, submitted an application in Supreme Court and took guarantee in the UP Legislative Assembly.

That only Kar Seva would happen, and nothing will happen to the mosque. And he also added that, if we stop Kar Seva at such time, then riots will be fueled more. Now after doing all this, what Kalyan Singh wrote that in any situation, bullests will not be fired on the Kar Sewaks.

Prakash Singh, the DGP, said that UP government was posting such officers around the temple that would work according to them. "The government tried, around Ayodha, to post such officers that would do what they day. " Now, from the 1st of December, 1992, Kar Sewaks started to reach Ayodha.

More than 1. 5 lakh Kar Sewaks were there and whole Ayadha converted into barracks. And a day before, that is, on 5th of December, 1992, the crowd, stage was made, politicians were giving speech.

In which, Atal Bihari Vajpayee and Lal Krishan Advani, said in their speech, that construction cannot be done on the suspected area, but it can be leveled to sit upon it. "The sharp rocks pointing out cannot be sat upon, the ground has to be leveled to make it suitable for sitting. "Arrangements for Yagya will be done" Just like that, Lal Krishan Advani says, have to sacrifice, if government has to be sacrificed, we will do it.

BJP, RSS, VHP, Bajrang Dal, all of their leaders reached but some politicians that could be an issue, that were seemed to give instigating speech. They were not allowed, they were stopped. Like Uma Bharti, she even cut her hair so that she wouldn't be recognised.

And she went in too. Her plan got successful because the security really did not found it. And she reached the Pandal.

Now date is 6th of December, 1992. On one side, the Pandal and stage made, politicians' speech were going on. Even the Kar Sewaks were singing devotional song.

But as 11:30 hits, all the Kar Sewaks start going towards the suspected area. Then by 1:55, it is found out that the suspected area's one part is dropped down. Then by 3:30, second part is dropped down.

And then at 4:49 pm, making a human chain, a wooden pole and the suspected area is dropped using that. And statue of Ram Lala, Laxman Ji and Hanuman Ji, is placed on the 'garbh greh'. And the temple was made using tent.

Now after sometime, around 6:00 pm, president's rule is imposed in UP. And at 6:15, UP's CM who took guarantee that nothing of this sort would happen. He resigns.

And the local police itself files an FIR, two FIRs are made, one against the leader and one is against this whole criminal activity. Now this incident has occured. But after this incident, not just Ayodhya, the whole country faces riots.

Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, Delhi, states of UP, Bihar. Riots all over India happen. More than 2000 people lose their lives.

And trillions of money is wasted. This news travels outside India and what Pakistan does is breaks 30 Hindu temples there. 11 Hindu temples are broken in Bangladesh.

And the Gulf countries started protesting and talks of taking this issue to UN start happening. After this incident, the case over the ownership of Ram birth place. One case of criminal activity also gets attached and there were now total two cases.

Now all this happend, so many things wasted, what the conspiracy behind it was, and who was involved. An enquiry is issued for this and a committee is made. Whose name was Liberhan Ayodhya Comission.

This commission does its inquiry and submits its report. After the whole inquiry, it is mentioned in the report that the whole act was not spontaneous. Rather it was done in a planned manner.

Many VHP and BJP leader's name was in there, many Kar Sewaks. But by 2020, a special CBI court said that this was not pre-planned on this and leader's are freed. After this incident, RSS and VHP are banned.

And even BJP, the states where they made their government, are dismissed. And then later this ban was removed. Now all of this that happened on the 6th of December, 1992, there was an unrest in whole India due to this.

And now the central government comes into action. And a month after that, on 25th of January, 1993, an act comes. Ayodhya Act of 1993.

In this, the whole area that you're seeing 67 acre, this 2. 77 acre of disputed land even in this 2. 77 acre, this 0.

313 acre is believed to be the actual disputed area. Where the statue was placed. So, apart from all the 2.

77 acre area, the central government takes the rest of the area under it. And when this are was taken under, shops, commercial properties, houses, like an encroachment, when a highway is passed. So the money that they are of government rate.

The same was done here. So this place was completely emptied. And the central government takes this whole are to itself.

This is done because VHP and Waqf board were playing politics in this area. They were buying the land around the disputed area and naming to themselves. And people were donating and helping this.

So after this, this whole green area is taken by the government. But this 2. 77 disputed area, court still had to decide.

This particular would be given to the one court would've said. Central government does another thing, all the case with the disputed statue, all of them are discarded. But it was not that easy, people went to court against it.

They said that this is unconstitutional, this case goes on for 2 years and all the discarded cases are started again. So where people were standing before, they again come to the same point. So after this, the decision was to be made by the court.

So in 2003, the case starts in High Court. And first, a team of archaeologist is called. And the scientific facts and methods are looked upon.

So on 12th of March, 2003, ASI's team starts the survey. First the GPR surveyr is done, that is, ground penetrating radar. In this, without digging a hole, electromagnetic waves are sent.

It is found from that, whether there's anything beneath the surface or not. And digging is done according to that. Its not like, if a survey is started, all the ground is dug.

So first, GPR survey was done. After that, wherever images were shown, digging is done for 6 months there. For transparency, 2 judicial officers are appointed.

They stay there for the time survey is done. And there's clear instruction, that whatever GPR may show, but at no point the 'garbh greh' where Ram lala was situated. To not disturb that, there won't be any digging there.

Now after that, ASI's report comes. The first thing told in this report is, there's a structure found under Babri mosque, but its not islamic. Second thing told, there are some structures which indicate that there was an ancient temple here.

And third thing ASI says is, we can't confirm whether the Babri mosque is made by breaking Ram temple or not. But can say, that Babri mosque was not made on empty land. Now, all these things were going, on the other hand the disputed land, 5 terrorists of Lashkar-e-Taiba attack it.

On 5th of July, 2005, they try to attack the temporary temple. A civillian lose their life in this, many people get injured. But CRPF kills these 5 terrorists.

After this, in 2010 all these proofs are seen, both groups give their proof. And in 2010, after seeing all this, the High Court issues its decision. In this judgement, the court says that yes Ram lala was born there, and there are no structures related to Islam under Babri Masjid were found.

Second thing, High Court divides the 2. 77 acre disputed land into three parts. And the central area is given to god Ram.

In the second part, Nirmohi Akhara are given the Ram platform and Sita kitchen. And third remaining part is given to Sunni Waqf Board. Now this decision does come but no party was happy with this decision.

And due to that, they go to Supreme Court in 2011. When this case goes in Supreme Court. There are no hearings on this for the first 6 years.

Then in August 2017, Supreme Court starts the hearing. Which is done by these 5 judges. First of all, Supreme Court says that this High Court decision is not right.

So they put a stay on it. And then, Supreme Court issues its decision after hearing everything. The Supreme Court decision was based on four things, first, ASI's report.

Supreme Court favoured ASI's report in which it was found that there was a non islamic structure there before the mosque. So, the main claim of Sunni Waqf board that mosque was built on empty land gets weak. Second, English travelers that we discussed, foreigners came and they made travel notes.

Which worked as a written proof in court, in which how prayer was done, talks about Ram was there. Third was adverse possession. Hindu never stopped praying on the disputed place.

And in court, possession is king. Even if there was sand, the priests did prayer on that. But the prayer was not stopped.

And on the other hands the muslims, be it the year 1934 or after 1949 they never went to pray there. Fourth thing was cross examination of witnesses. You can read the judgement page 1029 of court.

The judge say to witness Paramraj, don't you think that the centre area where you say Ram lala took birth, couldn't it be that it was some hands to the side, that is, left or right? He says, not even a finger here or there. The central dome of the mosque, there's a 'garbh greh' where Ram lala is situated, exactly there and there's not even 1% doubt.

So all the priests did not stumble from their word. After seeing all this, on 9th of November, 2019, the decision comes. The whole 2.

77 land, situation of Ram lala, that is, given to god Ram. Neither the Nirmohi Akhara or the Sunni Waqf board. The whole is given to Ram lala.

In a way, the land was given to god Ram. And 5 acre land, 25km far from disputed land, village in Dhanipur district is given to the Sunni Waqf board. The Nirmohi Akhara, that was fighting the case for so long.

They don't get anything. Now you can say, Ram lala got the whole area. But who will manage that, who will do the construction work there.

For this, I'm only talking about this 2. 77 acre area, not the whole 67. 7 acre.

For this 2. 77 acre land, Supreme Court's order followed. In which, the central government made a truse whose name, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra.

15 members will manage this, but Supreme Court said that one member would be of Nirmohi Akhara. So in 15, one was Nirmohi Akhara member. The others were spiritual leaders, appointees of the government, all that.

So all the work of Ram temple, is done by Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra. And the rest green area, central government's plan is to develop this like a religious spot. Like, the devotees who come to Vaishno Devi, they are facilitated.

It will be done just like that. There was one other thing on the Supreme Court judgement. When such judgements are given, there's always an author, that is, who wrote the judgment by keeping in mind all the judge's aspect and opinion.

But the author's name was never disclosed on Ram temple judgement. If you look at the last of the judgement, there's an addendum whose font is also different. In which, 1 of the 5 judges, agreeing with the majority decision, gave their completely different reasoning.

Which is called concurring judgement in legal terms. And its written that, the disputed structure is of Ram temple according to Hindu beliefs. Talking about now, on 5th of August, 2020, Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid foundation stone and did 'Bhumi Pujan'.

And now in 2024, that is, this 22nd of January, Ram lala will be situated here. Right now, of the three floors, the ground floor is ready. The second floor and third floor are still in progress.

It is said that the whole temple will be completed in December 2024.
