Muslims offer Eid al-Adha prayers at the Jama Masjid in the old quarters of Delhi, India, August 22, 2018.
Social media users in India took to Twitter on Friday to raise awareness of the country's Islamic heritage using the hashtag #MosquesofIndia, a week after India’s Supreme Court awarded a bitterly contested religious site to Hindus, dealing a defeat to Muslims who also claim the land that has sparked some of the country's bloodiest riots since independence.
On November 9, the top court ruled the site in Ayodhya in northern India, where Hindu mobs destroyed a 460-year-old Babri Mosque in 1992, must be managed by a trust to oversee the construction of a Hindu temple. The court gave a separate piece of land in the same city to a Muslim group to build a "prominent" new mosque.
Some users made reference to their longing for the Babri Mosque, while others celebrated the country's historic Islamic sites. Because Babri Masjid may have been demolished, but you can never wish away Indo-Islamic heritage that is spread across India, in its beautiful, serene mosques. We love our architecture, our heritage and we celebrate it. Alhamdulillah!
Because they are all built on top of destroyed Hindu temples.
5 acres was compensation for damage to one place of worship, after 1947. Who can help with the math for what should the compensation be, for damage to 208 (& more) places of worship, after '91 (not '47) & only in 1 erstwhile state of India? VamseeJuluri
