Mosque-temple spat: Why has India’s Sambhal exploded into violent clashes?

Al Jazeera  

Fears for the future of a mosque stoked tensions, but lawyers say India’s Supreme Court also bears responsibility. Within a few minutes, Tasleem received a phone call he will never forget: “My elder brother was shot dead by the police in daylight.” Protests had broken out in Sambhal on Sunday morning after a local court ordered an archaeological survey of a 16th-century mosque, the Shahi Jama Masjid, acting on a petition claiming that a Hindu temple once stood in its place. On November 19, a local court in Sambhal heard one such petition, which claimed that a Harihar Temple was converted into a mosque in 1529, pleading that the Archaeological Survey of India ought “to manage and to have complete control” over the site. But in 2019, while awarding the land on which the mosque once stood to a trust to build a temple — and allotting a patch of land elsewhere for the construction of a mosque — the Supreme Court of India upheld the Places of Worship Act, making it clear that the “court cannot entertain claims that stem from the actions of Mughal rulers against Hindu places of worship today”. “By closing the Ayodhya verdict, the top court had believed that it has pushed the genie of communal majoritarianism back in the bottle,” said Sanjay Hegde, a senior Supreme Court lawyer.
