Dhar Shahar Qazi Wakar Sadiq said, “Our main objection is that the survey was not conducted asper the guidelines of Supreme Court.”</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td><td class='diff-marker'>&#160;</td><td style="background: #eee; color:black; font-size: smaller;"></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>[<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">[Category</del>:India<del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">|B BHOJSHALA</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DHAR DISTRICT</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">==July==</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">BHOJSHALA</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DHAR DISTRICT]]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>[<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">https</ins>:<ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">//indianexpress.com/article/india/bhojshala-complex-asi-ganesh-brahma-narasimha-images-9454964/&#160; Anand Mohan J, July 16, 2024: ''The Indian Express'']</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">[[Category:Pages </del>with <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">broken file links|BHOJSHALA</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DHAR DISTRICT</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">BHOJSHALA</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DHAR DISTRICT]]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">[[Category:Religion|B BHOJSHALA</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DHAR DISTRICT</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">The Archeological Survey of </ins>India <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">(ASI) Monday submitted its survey report on the disputed Bhojshala temple-cum-Kamal Maula mosque complex in Dhar district to the Madhya Pradesh High Court</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">stating that the scientific investigation reveals that the “existing structure was made from the parts of earlier temples”.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td class='diff-marker'>−</td><td style="background: #ffa; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">BHOJSHALA</del>, <del class="diffchange diffchange-inline">DHAR DISTRICT]]</del></div></td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div>&#160;</div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">Hindus regard the ASI-protected complex as a temple dedicated to Goddess Vagdevi (Saraswati)</ins>, <ins class="diffchange diffchange-inline">while Muslims consider it the site of the Kamal Maula mosque.

Depends on whom you ask. Radheshyam Yadav, former convenor of Hindu Jagaran Manch’s Indore division, is certain the Bhojshala complex with a Vagdevi temple stood at the site for centuries before the mosque was built.

Hindus point to design features, such as ‘yantras’, Sanskrit and Pali inscriptions, and images of gods and goddesses on pillars, since defaced, to press their claim on Bhojshala.

The ASI survey extends to 50m beyond the mosque periphery, touching some house walls, and ground-penetrating radar is being used to identify spots that need excavating. Bhoj Utsav Samiti coordinator Gopal Sharma, who accompanies the ASI team during the ongoing survey, says three sites towards the back of Bhojshala were excavated to 10 feet and several objects were found. They were photographed, bagged and sent for carbon-dating.

But the Muslim side differs. “For 700 years, salah/namaz has been offered at Kamal Maula Masjid, how can it be a temple?” says Sadiq. Abdul Samad Khan, president of Maulana Kamaluddin Welfare Society, says the real Bhojshala is about 500m away from the mosque, near Raja Bhoj’s fort.
Explaining the presence of temple fragments in the mosque, Muslim scholar Naeem Ullah Qazi says it was built using the ruins of other monuments and much of the material came from Gupta-era buildings. “Similar architecture can be seen in medieval mosques all over India,” he argues.</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">

Do they trust the ASI survey to clear the air around the monument? “We believe in facts and evidence. Surveys in 1902 and 1903 established it was a mosque,” says Sadiq. Khan, who accompanies the ASI team during the survey, says, “We are sure facts will come to the fore.”

ASI’s survey will reveal the ‘true nature and character’ of the disputed site. Beyond the mandir-masjid dispute, Bhojshala was an important repository of manuscripts on topics ranging from astronomy to economics, meteorology and literature.
Scholars from faraway places gathered here and wrote manuscripts. Up to 500 scholars could stay comfortably at Bhojshala, says Dr Dipendra Sharma, convenor of Bhoj Shodh Sansthan. “They shared their knowledge and exchanged manuscripts with Raja Bhoj for gifts… If a thorough excavation is done, remains of a complete university and its residential area could be found here.”</ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;"></ins></div></td></tr> <tr><td colspan="2">&#160;</td><td class='diff-marker'>+</td><td style="background: #cfc; color:black; font-size: smaller;"><div><ins style="color: red; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;">

About 5.3% of Dhar district’s 21 lakhplus population is Muslim (2011 Census), but Muslim density is higher around Bhojshala.

While ASI experts go about their work, cops, mediapersons, reel makers, gawkers and locals stand behind barricades. Considering the sensitivity, police are not taking chances. Nobody is allowed to take a smartphone inside the complex, not even policemen. Drones are also banned in the vicinity.
Dhar SP Manoj Kumar Singh says 182 police personnel, including a company of special armed forces, secure the site round the clock. They also track social media. “If there’s any inflammatory message, I personally call and warn the offender,” the SP says.

ASI officials are going about their ‘multidisciplinary scientific survey’ with urgency.
