Bhojshala survey: Ancient evidences prove that the complex is historically a temple of Hindus and not dargah as claimed by Muslims
Op IndiaOn March 22, Friday, a team from the Archaeological Survey of India began a survey of the ancient Hindu place of worship- the Bhojshala complex situated in the tribal-dominated Dhar district of Madhya Pradesh. The survey began after the Madhya Pradesh High Court on March 11 directed the Archaeological Survey of India to conduct a scientific investigation, survey, and excavation at the Bhojshala complex. During the excavation and floor-making operations of ‘Bhojshala’ in 1987, the Archaeological Survey of India discovered over thirty-two idols of Hindu deities, including Lord Kuber. In 1997, Congress leader and then CM Digvijaya Singh issued order permitting Muslims to offer Namaz every Friday but prohibiting Hindus from even entering the complex In 1952, the Central Government gave up Bhojshala to the Archaeological Survey of India.
