Ayodhya Revisited

by Kishore Kunal

This work of monumental research is atreatise on Ayodhyã with utmost authenticity and absolute accuracy. Based on original sources and scientific investigation; it propounds a new thesis, which demolishes many popular perceptions. It exonerates the intrepid warrior Babur from the charge of demolishing a temple on the birth-site of Rãma and constructing the mosque which has been a source of contention and dissension for long. It further shows how inscriptions in the mosque were fictitious and Mir Baqi of inscriptions is a fictitious person different from Baqi Tashkindi/Shegawal of the Baburnama. The book produces incontrovertible evidence which indubitably proves that there existed a Rãma temple on the Rãmajanmabhùmi. The exact birthplace of Rãma was earmarked by a rectangular Vedi measuring 18 ft. 9 inches in length and 15ft. in width, and was located in the inner portion of the disputed shrine. The demolition of the temple and the construction of the mosque did not take place in 1528 A.D. but in c. 1660 A.D. when Fedai Khan was the Governor of Aurangzeb at Ayodhyã. It is a historical fact that until the British takeover of Awadh administration in 1858 both the Hindus and Muslims used to perform puja and offer Namaz respectively inside it. All Mughal Emperors from Babur to Shah-Jahan were magnanimous and liberal rulers and the Bairãgìs of Ayodhyã enjoyed the patronage of the first four Nawabs of Awadh. However, during the long rule of Aurangzeb, the country was engulfed in the fire of fanaticism. It has been shown in this book how an absolutely unfounded rumour in 1855 A.D. that the Hanumangarhi temple was constructed on the site of a mosque created the cleavage between the two communities, and the resultant festering wounds have not healed despite best efforts by saner elements of both the communities. The book exposes many eminent historians’ hypocrisy and their lack of certitude in writing history and it may be said that their presentation of contrived history on Ayodhya has caused irreparable damage to the cause of harmonizing communal relations in the country. In contrast; this text earnestly tries to takeaway the toxin from the polluted body ofIndian politics. For the first time, a number of unexplored documents have been incorporated in this book as evidence, and it may be proclaimed with pride that this book contains much more information on Ayodhya than available hitherto. Justice G.B. Patnaik, a former Chief Justice of India, after going through the manuscript; has endorsed the author's thesis in his Foreword. It is hoped that the book will put a quietus to the long-standing dispute.

i read this book last year.
I recently came to know that this book was used in Supreme court in Ram Lalla case. Even Rajiv Dhavan (advocate) who was representing Muslim side got frustrated that he torn this book. Such a shame that lawyer lose his cool in court. Anyway read this book. This book is quite an exhaustive account on Ayodhya.
Highly recommended

Excellent truth. Honest Proofs.

The best. Painstakingly written and explored as a truth seeker. Pervasive attitude with clear notion of societal equality. Everybody must read.
