RAM JANMABHOOMI 2024 Some Hindus claim that the exact site of Rama’s birthplace is within the grounds RAM JANMABHOOMI 2024 where the Babri Masjid once stood in the present day Ayodhya, with this belief extending back to at least 1822. It has been suggested that a temple to Rama formerly existed at the same site as the Babri Masjid until it was replaced by the mosque, an idea supported by a court- ordered report of the Archaeological Survey of India following archaeological excavations around the ruins of the mosque, though the existence of this report are disputed.
RAM JANMABHOOMI 2024 The idols of Rama and Sita were placed in the mosque in 1949 and the devotees begin to gather from the next day. In 1922, the demolition of the Babri Masjid by Hindu nationalists triggered widespead Hindu-Muslim violence. The legal dispute over the property reached the Indian Supreme Court ,which heard the tittle dispute cases from August to October 2019. On 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court ruled in favour of the Hindu parties and ordered the land to be handed over to a trust to a build a Hindu Temple. The Court also compensated the Muslims by providing them 5 acres of land to build a mosque. The court inferred that the foundation of the mosque was based on the walls of a large pre existing structure dating back to the 12th centure whose architectural features are suggestive of Hindu reilgious origin. The supreme Court however constuction of the pre existing structure in 12th centure and the constuction of mosque in 16th centure and no conclusion on the cause of destruction of the underlying structure from this era can be drawn based bon the ASI report. The temple was later inaugurated in January 2024.
HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
RAM JANMABHOOMI 2024 The Ramayana,a Hindu epic whose earliest portion date back to 1st millennium BCE, states that the capital of Rama was “Ayodhya,” which may not be the same as modern Ayodhya . According to the local Hindu belief, the site of the now-demolished Babri Mosque in Ayodhya is the exact birthplace of Rama. The Babri mosque is believed to have been constructed during 1528-29 by a certain ‘Mir Baqi'(possibly Baqi Tashqandi), who was a commander of the Mughal emperor Babur(1526-1530).
RAM JANMABHOOMI 2024 In 1611, an English traveller William Finch visited Ayodhya and recorded the “ruins of the Ranichand [Ramachand] castle and houses.” He made no mention of a mosque. In 1634, Thomas Herbert described a ” pretty old castle of Ranichand [Ramachand]” which he described as an antique monument that was ‘especially memorable”. However, by 1672, the appearance of a mosque at the site can be inferred because Lal Das’s Awadh-Vilasa describes the location without mentioning a castle, house or temple.In 1717, the Moghul Rajput noble Jai Singh 11 purchased land surrounding the site and his document show a mosque. The Jesuit missionary Joseph Tiefenthaler, who visited the site between 1766 and 1771, wrote that either Aurangazed(1658-1707) or Babur had demolished the Ramkot fortress, including the house that was considered as the birthplace of Rama by Hindus. He further stated that a mosque was constructed in its place, but the Hindus continued to offer prayers at a mud platform that marked the birthplace of Rama. In1810, Francis Buchanana visited the site, and stated that the structure destroyed was a temple dedicated to Rama, not a house. Many subsequent sources state that the mosque was constructed after demolishing a temple. Buchanan also recorded that there was an inscription on the wall of the mosque stating it to have been built by Babur.
Police officer and writer Kishore Kunal, who examined Buchanan’s document, states that all the claimed inscriptions on the Babri mosque were fake. According to him they were affixed sometime around 1813(almost 285years after the supposed construction of the mosque in 1528CE), and later repeatedly replaced.
Before the 1940s, the Babri Masjid was called Masjid- i-Janmasthan(“mosque of the birthplace”) in common parlance as well as official document such as revenue records. Shykh Muhammad Azamat Ali Kakorawi Nami(1811-1893) wrote:”the Babri mosque was built up in 923(?) A.H. under the patronage of Sayyid Musa Ashiqan in the Janmasthan temple in Faizabad-Avadh, which was a great place of(worship) and capital of Rama ‘s father”
H.R. Neville, the editor of the Faizabad District Gazetter(1870), wrote that the Janmasthan temple “was destroyed by Babur and replaced by ba mosque.” He also wrote “The Janmasthan was in Ramkot and marked the birthplace of Rama. In1528 A.D. Babur came to Ayodhya and halted here for a week.He destroyed the Ancient temple and on its site built a mosque, still known as Babur’s mosque.The materials of the old structure[i.e.,the temple] were largely employed, and many of the columns were in good preservation.”
Al-Hind-u fi al-‘Ahd al-isami, by Maulana Shams Tabriz Khan describes “And among them is the great mosque them is the great mosque that was built by the Timurid King Babar in the sacred city of Ajodhya. It is belived that Rama Chandra, considered to be the manifestation of god, was born here. There is a long story about his wife Sita. There was a big temple for them in this city. At a certain place Sita used to sit and cook food for her consort. Well, the said king Babar demolished it abd built a mosque at that very place with chiseled stone in 923 A.
