This suit was initially filed by Bhagwan Sri Ram Virajman at Sri Ram Janma Bhumi, Ayodhya also called Bhagwan Sri Rama Lala Virajman represented by the then next friend, Sri Deoki Nandan Agarwala, Asthan Sri Ram Janma Bhumi, Ayodhya represented by next friend Sri D. N. Agarwal and Sri Deoki Nandan Agarwala for a declaration that the entire premises of Sri Ram Janma Bhumi at Ayodhya as described and delineated in Annexures 1 and 2 belong to the plaintiff's deities and for a perpetual injunction against the defendants prohibiting them from interfering with, or raising any objection to, or placing any obstruction in the construction of the new temple building at Sri Ram Janma Bhumi after demolishing and removing the existing buildings and structures etc. situate there at, in so far as it may be necessary or expedient to do so for the said purpose. After the death of Sri Deoki Nandan Agarwal, Sri T. P. Verma was substituted as next friend and after his removal Sri Triloki Nath Pandey has been substituted as next friend of plaintiffs no.1 and 2 and defendant no.3 in place of Sri T.P. Verma. According to the plaint allegations the plaintiffs no. 1 and 2 4 ,namely, Bhagwan Sri Ram Virajman at Sri Ram Janma Bhumi, Ayodhya also called Sri Ram Lala Virajman, and the Asthan Sri Rama Janama Bhumi, Ayodhya, with the other idols and places of worship situate thereat, are juridical persons with Bhagwan Sri Rama as the presiding Deity of the place. The plaintiff no.3 is a Vaishnava Hindu, and seeks to represent the Deity and the Asthan as a next friend. The place Sri Rama Janma Bhumi is too well known at Ayodhya need not any description for purposes of identification of the subject matter of dispute in this plaint. Two site plans of the building premises and of the adjacent area known as Sri Rama Janma Bhumi, prepared by Sri Shiv Shankar Lal pleader in the discharge of his duty as a commissioner appointed by the Court of Civil Judge, Faizabad, in Suit No.2 of 1950: Sri Gopal Singh Visharad Versus Sri Zahur Ahmad and Others; along with his report dated 25.5.1950, are being annexed to the plaint and made part of it as Annexures I and II respectively. The Suit No.2 of 1950 was filed on 16.1.1950, by Sri Gopal Singh Visharad against Zahoor Ahmad and other persons. The plaintiff of that suit died recently and his name has been substituted by his son, who has been impleaded as plaintiff No.1/1 in this suit. The five defendants of the suit are dead and their names struck off under the order of this Court. Therefore, they have not been impleaded as defendants no. 7 to 10 respectively in this suit also. In the above suit relief claimed was for a declaration that the plaintiff was entitled to perform the Puja and to have Darshan of Bhagwan Ram Chandra and others Virajman at Asthan Janma Bhumi without any hindrance, dispute or interruption and the permanent injunction restraining the defendant and their successors from ever removing the idols of Sri Bhagwan Ram Chandra and others Virajman at Asthan Janma Bhumi from the place where 5 they were, or closing the entrance gate or other passages of ingress and egress, and from interfering or disturbing the Puja or Darshan in any manner whatsoever, was also claimed. Suit No.25 of 1950, was filed a few months later, by Paramhans Ramchandra Das. This suit has been withdrawn by the plaintiff and the third suit being suit no.26 of 1959 was thereafter filed in the Court of Civil Judge, Faizabad by the Nirmohi Akhara, Ayodhya, who has been impleaded as defendant no.3 in this suit, claiming the relief of removal of Babu Priya Dutt Ram, defendant no.1 thereto from the management and charge of the temple of Janma Bhumi with the idol of Lord Ram Chandra and others installed therein. Babu Priya Dutt was appointed as a Receiver in the year 1950 by the City Magistrate, Faizabad in a proceeding under Section 145 of the Cr.P.C. 1898. The defendants No. 2 to 5 of this suit are defendants no. 7 to 10 of this suit. The other defendants have died and their legal representatives have not been brought on the record obviously because the cause of action did not survive against them. Suit no. 12 of 1961 was thereafter filed by the Sunni Central Board of Waqfs, U.P., and 8 other on 18.12.1961 in the Court of the Civil Judge, Faizabad. The reliefs claimed were (a) A declaration that the property indicated by the letters A B C D in the sketch map annexed to the plaint is a “public mosque commonly known as 'Babri Masjid', and that the land adjoining the mosque shown in the sketch map by letters E F G H is a public Muslim “graveyard”, and (b) “for delivery of possession of the mosque and graveyard in suit by removal of the idols and other articles which the Hindus may have placed in the mosque as objects of their worship”. The Sunni Central Board of Waqfs, U.P. is being impleaded as Defendant No.4 in this suit 6 and of the remaining plaintiffs of that suit, the only surviving plaintiffs No. 7 and 9 are being impleaded as Defendants No. 5 and 6 hereto. Of the defendants to that suit, the legal representatives of defendants no. 1, 13 and 15, who have been impleaded therein, are being impleaded as Defendants no.1, 14 and 16 respectively in this suit.

  • 1. Introduction: Siting and Experiencing Divinity in Bengal
    chapter 1 Introduction : Siting and Experiencing Divinity in Bengal-Vaishnavism background The anthropology of Hinduism has amply established that Hindus have a strong involvement with sacred geography. The Hindu sacred topography is dotted with innumerable pilgrimage places, and popu- lar Hinduism is abundant with spatial imaginings. Thus, Shiva and his partner, the mother goddess, live in the Himalayas; goddesses descend to earth as beautiful rivers; the goddess Kali’s body parts are imagined to have fallen in various sites of Hindu geography, sanctifying them as sacred centers; and yogis meditate in forests. Bengal similarly has a thriving culture of exalting sacred centers and pilgrimage places, one of the most important being the Navadvip-Mayapur sacred complex, Bengal’s greatest site of guru-centered Vaishnavite pilgrimage and devo- tional life. While one would ordinarily associate Hindu pilgrimage cen- ters with a single place, for instance, Ayodhya, Vrindavan, or Banaras, and while the anthropology of South Asian pilgrimage has largely been single-place-centered, Navadvip and Mayapur, situated on opposite banks of the river Ganga in the Nadia District of West Bengal, are both famous as the birthplace(s) of the medieval saint, Chaitanya (1486– 1533), who popularized Vaishnavism on the greatest scale in eastern India, and are thus of massive simultaneous importance to pilgrims in contemporary Bengal. For devotees, the medieval town of Navadvip represents a Vaishnava place of antique pilgrimage crammed with cen- turies-old temples and ashrams, and Mayapur, a small village rapidly 1 2 | Chapter 1 developed since the nineteenth century, contrarily represents the glossy headquarters site of ISKCON (the International Society for Krishna Consciousness), India’s most famous globalized, high-profile, modern- ized guru movement.

  • In the Name of Krishna: the Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town
    In the Name of Krishna: The Cultural Landscape of a North Indian Pilgrimage Town A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA BY Sugata Ray IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Frederick M. Asher, Advisor April 2012 © Sugata Ray 2012 Acknowledgements They say writing a dissertation is a lonely and arduous task. But, I am fortunate to have found friends, colleagues, and mentors who have inspired me to make this laborious task far from arduous. It was Frederick M. Asher, my advisor, who inspired me to turn to places where art historians do not usually venture. The temple city of Khajuraho is not just the exquisite 11th-century temples at the site. Rather, the 11th-century temples are part of a larger visuality that extends to contemporary civic monuments in the city center, Rick suggested in the first class that I took with him. I learnt to move across time and space. To understand modern Vrindavan, one would have to look at its Mughal past; to understand temple architecture, one would have to look for rebellions in the colonial archive. Catherine B. Asher gave me the gift of the Mughal world – a world that I only barely knew before I met her. Today, I speak of the Islamicate world of colonial Vrindavan. Cathy walked me through Mughal mosques, tombs, and gardens on many cold wintry days in Minneapolis and on a hot summer day in Sasaram, Bihar. The Islamicate Krishna in my dissertation thus came into being.

Thank you for respecting the hardwork of this author. About the Book Narendra Modi, the present Prime Minister of India, is a true blue RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh or National Volunteers Organization) swayamsevak or volunteer. More importantly, he is a product of prachaarak system, a unique institution of RSS. More than his election campaigns, his conduct after becoming the Prime Minister really tells us how a responsible RSS worker and prachaarak responds to any responsibility he is entrusted with. His rise is also illustrative example of submission by author in this book that RSS has been able to design a system that can create ‘extraordinary achievers out of ordinary people’. When the first edition of Secrets of RSS was released, air was thick with motivated propaganda about ‘Saffron terror’ and RSS was the favourite whipping boy as the face of ‘Hindu fascism’. Now as the second edition is ready for release, environment has transformed radically.

  • Concerned Citizens Tribunal - Gujarat 2002 an Inquiry Into the Carnage in Gujarat
    Concerned Citizens Tribunal - Gujarat 2002 An inquiry into the carnage in Gujarat Hate Speech The carnage in Gujarat was marked by unprecedented levels of hate speech and hate propaganda. Some examples: Chief Minister Narendra Modi Terming the (Godhra) attack as ‘pre-planned, violent act of terrorism’, Mr Modi said that state government was viewing this attack seriously. — The Times of India, Feb 28, 2002. "With the entire population of Gujarat very angry at what happened in Godhra much worse was expected". — Narendra Modi, at a Press Conference in Gujarat, Feb 28, 2002. Modi said he was ‘absolutely satisfied’ with the way in which the police and State Government handled the backlash from Godhra incident and ‘happy’ that violence was largely contained… "We should be happy that curfew has been imposed only at 26 places while there is anger and people are burning with revenge. Thanks to security arrangements we brought things under control".When asked that not a policeman was visible in most areas where shops were looted and set on fire, he said he hadn’t received any complaint. — The Indian Express, March 1, 2002. "Investigations have revealed that the firing by the Congressman played a pivotal role in inciting the mob." — CM Narendra Modi on Chamanpura incident where former MP Ahsan Jaffri was burned alive with 19 of his relatives. On being asked what could have lead to the Ex-MP opening fire it was ‘probably in his nature’ to do so. — The Hindustan Times, March 2, 2002. Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Friday termed ‘barbaric’ the murder of former Congress MP Ehsan Jafri along with 19 of his family members, but said there was firing from inside the house.
