Ram temple: fight for own place

 

Ayodhya is a birthplace of God Ram who was the 7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu. After the Jal Samadhi( Water Burial), his son Kush started to rule the Ayodhya. Its all about the Treta Yug. all the history were depicted in Ramayana, poem by Kalidas( Raghuvamsa). Once Famous explorer Hiuen Tsang came Ayodhya for exploring purpose and he also written in his article that there were lots of Ram temples in Ayodhya. All things were going well till 14th century when Bikram Aditya was the king of Shravasti, Uttar Pradesh before 11th century. He incripted in stone in Ayodhya. After his reign, King Jayachandra started to rule at 12the century. Foreign invaders especially Mughals initiated Invading at 14th century. 

First Mughal emperor was Babur and Mir baqi was the commander at that time. They destroyed all the temples in Ayodhya and Babur ordered the construction of Mosque at the side of the Ram's temple in 1528 AD. Fedai Khan , the governer of Mughal destroyed the Ram Temple in 1660 AD and the huge Masjid were built. In opposition of that lots of movements were initiated after the demolition of Hindu's temple. In 1853, there were first riot by the Hindu.This was a war of religions. In 1859, the British permitted both Ram Chabutra and Mosque, fenced between them. 

Mahant Raghubir Das filed a petition in Faizabad court in 1885 AD for the construction of Ram's temple. Unfortunately,the court had rejected the request. 1933-34 Riots between Hindu and Muslim occured due to cow sluttering resulted damage of wall around masjid and one of its dome. It was renovated soon by british Indian government. In 1944 a commissioner of UP had gave the property right of Mosques area to sunni.

India celebrated Independence day in 15th August 1947. After at 1949 dec 23, the statue of Ram chandra was found inside the Masjid miraculously which leads to big issue. It was sealed thereafter. One year later Gopal Visharad and Ram Chandra Das filed on court to permit the idol inside the mosques. The petition had been submitted to government in UP's Sunni board explaining the excluding of Ram ji impression from the Masjid in 60's. 

Now the religious conflict became the integral of politics. Several investigations had concluded that the Mosque had been desecrated and it was locked due to order of Government of India.  In 1980, Atal Bihari Bajpayi had won the election from BJP. Later on, VHP( VIshwa Hindu Parishad)  began demolishing the Mosque and Builiding Temple. In 1986 Krishna Mohan Pandey suggested to remove the lock and allow the Hindus in shrine. BJP won by 86 seat in 1989 and VP singh started to led the government thereby structuring Mandal commission. But that commission created the intercast bordline and harmony disbalance between lower and upper class caste in India 

In 1990 sept, BJP, VHP, RSS initiated movement for building Ram temple. In Oct 14 of 90's BJP organized Rath Yatra(" Chariot Journey") from Delhi to Ayodhya.  But Mulayam Singh Yadav proceed to defeat the plan and action. VP singh wanted to take credit so he ordered to complete lockdown. In 30 oct 1990, police ban all the train and buses to Ayodhya. But the blockage of government didn't affect the kar sevaks or activist. 28000 armed police forces were deployed to restrict the activist. Almost all sevaks were arrested and put into police vehicle. But they escaped from the ven  and went towards Mosque. They successfully placed a flag of Shri Ram at the top of Masjid. Again, at nov 2 same incident reoccured. Mulayam Singh ordered to arrest them. 150000 activists were arrested at that time. However, lots of people successfully reached to Ayodhya and one volunteer placed a flag on The Mosque. Other crowd demolited the mosque by using axes and hammers. This incident created the brutality in the whole country especially Mumbai, Surat, Ahmedabad, Kanpur, Delhi and Ayodhya were under the gambit of violence . About 2000 people were died at that time. In 1993 March 12, Mumbai people faced  13 Serial Bomb blast organized by Muslim Terrorist. 

Now the religious battle became the legal battle. Court started to collect the proofs, Historical record, religious beliefs from 2002 to 2010. At september 30, 2010 the Ilahabad court had decided to divide 2.77 acres land to Sunni waqf Board, Nirmohi Akhara and Ram lalla. But all three parties were against the division of land. Finally the supreme court verdict of ayodhya had decided to handed over the disputed land to trust formed by Indian government for the construction of Ram Temple. Also the Muslim religious got 5 acres land in important place of Ayodhya. 

Re-building of Ram's temple were started from 2020 August 5 with traditional as well as modern style. Now it is going to inagurate again on January 22, 2024 after the fight from 492 years. 108 Feet insence stick ( Agarbatti ) is going to fire on the day of inauguration.
