Western media and Indian lefty personalities aren’t done with condemning India’s historic Ram temple inauguration on Jan 22nd! Setting the record right in these topics is crucial. Hindus suffered brutal invasions and colonization by Islamic & European faiths & nations for about 800 years. We were subject to enslavement, forced conversions, Spanish Inquisition, religious persecution via unfair taxes/property appropriations, genocides, famines, ethnic cleansing in India. Abroad, Hindu & Indian indentured laborers faced similar fate including expulsion from countries like Uganda! Most egregious of all atrocities were the determined and purposeful destruction of Hindu temples by Islamic rulers who then built mosques on top leaving temple remnants as reminder to Hindus of who was the master! The Ayodhya Ram temple site is revered by Hindus and it’s been a 500 year yearning to see the divine presence reinstated to its rightful home. The old, disused & dilapidated Babri mosque was replaced with a beautiful temple. All done via a Supreme Court verdict based on historical, archeological, and scriptural evidence of a temple beneath the mosque. Muslims got 5 acres of land & money (40% from Hindus) and a mosque is being constructed as the largest in Asia and biggest Quran! All fair and just, one would think, but media is unhappy. Same media says nothing about Greece converting Ottoman mosques to churches or Turkey/Azerbaijan converting churches to mosques. Why is there such animosity to an indigenous/native faith reclaiming its rightful heritage? Here is a great Instagram summary by CoHNA on the facts of the Ram temple. https://lnkd.in/dVHagkqe

Sudha Jagannathan, just a historical note: there was no "Spanish Inquisition" in India, but there was the "Goa Inquisition", an extension of the Portuguese Inquisition. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_Inquisition#
