Jai Shri Ram
Shri Ram and Ayodhya has been most sacred name for Hindus and India from thousands of years. Now Valmiki Ramayana is also dated to be written around 12209 BCE. So there is no doubt about historicity of Ram. Let's get into details about modern history associated with Ram Birth Place Ayodhya. This book written by Ram Gopal Pandey Sharad talks in detail about the history of Janmbhoomi and how Mughals and later Muslims took it from us.
It is said that From ancient period Kings have been taking care of Ayodhya and Ram temple with utmost care along with other Big temples like Somnath and Sun temple in Kashmir.
When Shaks, Huns and Kirats started attacking India, the kings shifted their Focus on Defending the borders.
Later, In around first century BCE, Vikramaditya restored the Grand Ram temple after he defeated Shakas.
In 1527 A Muslim Kajal Abbas Musa and came in Ayodhya after hearing the influence of a Saint Shyamanand. He learnt Yoga and Spirituality from the Saint and became his famous disciple.
Hearing this , a Fakir named jalal shah also came to him to learn all those , but he was a Muslim extermist.
He wanted that Islam should spread all over the world. Thus he mischieved with a non-believer Teacher and thought to demolish the Ram Mandir and Erect a new Mosque in that place, so that Islam could be spread all over India. So along with Musa he started making plans to destroy the temple. Hearing that Ram temple is very Sidhha place he started promoting it as a place of Nabis. They started buring Dead muslims in the city around the temple and with the help of Bakin Khan. They gained the confidence of Babar and insisted him to attack the temple. Knowing all this Maharaj ji was hurted and thus he hinself went to Himalayas after Removing the statues and throwing them in Saryu.
According to the orders of Jalal shah his disciples were beheaded . When it was announced that the temple was to be demolished and new mosque is going to be constructed Raja Mehtab singh was on the pilgrimage to BadriNath .
In the mid path he moved towards Ayodhya, with a army of 1,74,000 infront of the massive army of Babar with 4,50,000.The Shree Ram devotees has taken pledge that they will fight till their last drop of blood or die to save their Lord Shree Ram’s Birth place.
They fought hard but could not save the Temple. Mir Baki Khan Demolished the temple and with its remains constructed a temple. It is said that he used the blood of the martyrs instead of water to build the walls of mosque.
The Valor of Devotees can be understood with the example of a Purohit Devi Deen Pandey. He fought with his army of 10,000 soldiers. He had almost killed Mir Baki and single handedly killed 700 Mughals before he was killed.
It is said that even after defeating Hindus, Mir Baki couldn't build the mosque. Later with consulting the locals he named the mosque as Sita Pak Sthan, Allowed Hindus to do prayers in the mosque and ordered Muslims to offer Namaz on only Friday. Thus, Our own Ram temple was taken from us by killing our Kshatriyas and then fooling our Saints.
Akbar had allowed Hindus to worship in the temple after 20 attempts to reclaim the temple. This order was followed by jehangir and Shah Jahan. But Aurangzeb discontinued it.
Vaishnavdas a disciple of Samarth Ramdas Swami used to live in Ayodhya. He was expert in art of warfare. He had the support of 10,000 tong-wielding sadhus. When they learned of the attack by Jabaz Khan’s attack on Ram Janmabhoomi, they rushed to join and fight alongside the Hindus. For seven days the Hindus and the Mughal forces clashed at Urvashikund. At the end of a fierce battle the Mughal forces fled away.
Aurangzeb now sent around 50,000 soldiers with Sayyed Hassan Ali khan to march towards Ayodhya. Hindus took Support of Guru Govind Singh this time. The combined Hindu and Sikh army fought fiercely in Faizabad and defeated Mughals.
4 years later, In when Hindus were not alert to defend Ayodhya, Aurangzeb forces took control of Ram Janmbhoomi after killing thousands of people.
Hindus tried to take back Ram temple many times. 76 small and big battles were fought for the temples which are recorded as follows:
Babar: 4
Humayun: 10
Akbar: 20
Aurangzeb (probably): 30
Nawab Saadat Ali: 5
Nasiruddin Haider: 3
Wajid Ali: 2
British: 2
Ram Temple is not only an issue of Religious belief. It is an existential Question for The Hindu whose ancestors were great kings such as Ram, Sagar, Bhagirath, Yayati. We have given sacrifice of lakhs of Sanatanis in past 600 years to sustain the memories of this place. It is high time that we reclaim the birthplace of Shri Ram and try to bring it to the glory it was during and before Vikramaditya.
