MASJID BABRI INDIA - DALAM KENANGAN

arnabkiut

The Babri Mosque (Urdu: بابری مسجد‎, Hindi: बाबरी मस्जिद), or Mosque of Babur was a mosque constructed by order of the first Mughal emperor of India, Babur, in Ayodhya in the 16th century. Before the 1940s, the mosque was called Masjid-i Janmasthan ("mosque of the birthplace").[1] The mosque stood on Ramkot ("Rama's fort") Hill (also called Janmasthan ("Birthplace"). It was destroyed by Hindu activists in a riot on December 6, 1992.
It was alleged that Babur's commander-in-chief Mir Baki destroyed an existing temple at the site, which Hindus believe was the temple built to commemorate the birthplace of Rama, an incarnation of Vishnu and ruler of Ayodhya .Interestingly the mosque shared a wall with a Rama Temple. The Babri Mosque was one of the largest mosques in Uttar Pradesh, a state in India with some thirteen million Muslims. Although there were several older mosques in the city of Ayodhya, an area with a substantial Muslim population, including the Hazrat Bal Mosque constructed by the Shariqi kings, the Babri Mosque became the largest, due to the importance of the disputed site.

Interior View under the right dome, with the octagonal fountain used for ablutions in the foreground. Under the Central dome (where the mihrab used to be) was placed an idol of Lord Rama separated from this area by a large canvas screen, for several years, before the mosque was sealed by the UP Government, both Muslims and Hindus offered prayers here.

Babri is an important mosque of a distinct style, preserved mainly in architecture, developed after the Delhi Sultanate was established (1192). The square CharMinar of Hyderabad (1591) with large arches, arcades, and minarets is typical. This art made extensive use of stone and reflected Indian adaptation to Muslim rule, until Mughals art replaced it in the 17th century, as typified by structures like the Taj Mahal.
The traditional hypostyle plan with an enclosed courtyard, imported from Western Asia was generally associated with the introduction of Islam in new areas, but was abandoned in favour of schemes more suited to local climate and needs. The Babri Masjid was a mixture of the local influence and the Western Asian style and examples of this type of mosque are common in India.
The Babri Mosque was a large imposing structure with three domes, one central and two secondary. It is surrounded by two high walls, running parallel to each other and enclosing a large central courtyard with a deep well, which was known for its cold and sweet water. On the high entrance of the domed structure are fixed two stone tablets which bear two inscriptions in Persian declaring that this structure was built by one Mir Baqi on the orders of Babur. The walls of the Babri Mosque are made of coarse-grained whitish sandstone blocks, rectangular in shape, while the domes are made of thin and small burnt bricks. Both these structural ingredients are plastered with thick chunam paste mixed with coarse sand.

The Central Courtyard was surrounded by lavishly curved columns superimposed to increase the height of the ceilings. The plan and the architecture followed the Begumpur Friday mosque of Jahanpanah rather than the Moghul style where Hindu masons used their own trabeated structural and decorative traditions. The excellence of their craftsmanship is noticeable in their vegetal scrolls and lotus patterns. These motifs are also present in the Firuz Shah Mosque in Firuzabad (c.1354) now in a ruined state, Qila Kuhna Mosque (c.1540, The Darasbari Mosque in the Southern suburb of the walled city of Gaur, and the Jamali Kamili Mosque built by Sher Shah Suri this was the forerunner of the Indo Islamic style adopted by Akbar.

"A whisper from the Babri Masjid Mihrab could be heard clearly at the other end 200 feet [60 m] away and through the length and breadth of the central court" according to Graham Pickford architect to Lord William Bentinck (1828

The Babri mosque抯 Tughluquid style integrates other ingenious design components and techniques, such as air cooling systems disguised as Islamic architectural elements like arches, vaults and domes. In the Babri Masjid the high ceiling, domes, and six large grill windows (see picture) all served as a passive environmental control system that brought down the temperature and also allowed in natural ventilation as well as daylight

Pictured is a six foot (2 m) window grill of the Babri mosque, These were six in number and so positioned to allow cool air to sweep through the mosque the grills were a fine example of Islamic two-dimensional geometry. These together with the thick walls and high roof kept the interior cool. A large number smaller Roshandans were installed only for light with intricate geometrical patterns

The reported medicinal properties of the deep well in the central courtyard have been featured in various news reports such as the BBC report of December 1989 and in various newspapers. The earliest mention of the Babri water well was in a two line reference to the Mosque in the Gazette of Faizabad District 1918 which says 揟here are no significant historical buildings here, except for various Buddhist shrines, the Babri Mosque is an ancient structure with a well which both the Hindus and Mussalmans claim has Miraculous properties.擺/color]

Ayodhya, a pilgrimage site for Hindus has an annual fair attended by over 500,000 people of both faiths, many devotees came during the annual Ram festival to drink from the water well in the Babri Courtyard. It was believed drinking water from this well could cure a range of illnesses. Hindu pilgrims also believed that the Babri water well was the original well in the Ram Temple under the mosque. Ayodhya Muslims believed that the well was a gift from God. Local women regularly brought their new born babies to drink from the reputedly curative water.

The 125 foot (40 m) deep well in question was situated in the South Eastern Courtyard of the large rectangular courtyard of the Babri Mosque. There was a small Hindu shrine built in 1890 joining the well with a statute of Lord Rama. It was an artesian well and drew water from a considerable distance below the water table. Eleven feet (3 m) in radius the first 30 feet (10 m) from ground level were bricked. It drew water from a reservoir trapped in a bed of shale sand and gravel; this could explain the unusually cool temperature of the water. The water contained almost no sodium explaining its reputation that the water was 憇weet.

Hindu partisan historians say that in the year 1527 the Muslim invader Babur came down from Ferghana in Central Asia and attacked the Hindu King of Chittodgad, Rana Sangrama Singh at Sikri and with the help of cannons and artillery (used in India for the first time) overcame Rana Sangrama Singh and his allies.

After this victory, Babar decided to spread terror among the subjugated Hindu population. His general, Mir Baqi was incharge of the region. Mir Baqi came to Ayodhya in 1528 and gave special attention to the main and biggest temple in the town. This was the temple which was built on the place where Samrat Shri Ramachandra, an ancient King of India was born. Samrat Shri Ramachandra was (and still is) revered by the devout among the Hindus as a god, also referred to as Rama, believed by Hindus to be an avatar of Vishnu.

Babar, whose general Mir Baqi allegedly destroyed this temple at Ayodhya, built by the Hindus to commemorate their king Samrat Ramchandra. Mir Baqi built a mosque at the site of the destroyed temple. This was called the Babri Masjid (Mosque), named after King Babar.

The claim of the destruction of this temple and the erection of a mosque in its place is also mentioned in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

The advocates say that many Indians - and even many of the educated Indians - are unaware of this truth. Indian History books at School and College do not tell the story in its true detail. The historians so shamefully hidden the facts. Hindu advocates allege that the Government of India has 'shamelessly' pandered to the muslims in this and other issues in order to secure the minority electoral bloc as part of their partisan vote bank politics, the VHP especially voicing this concern.

Advocates also allege that the excessive sypmathy for muslims in this issue is due to a zeitgeist of Pseudo-secularism in Indian society brought about by communist thinking, where struggles between Hindus and Muslims are viewed as a "class struggle" rather than a communal one. This identification of muslims as an "opressed underclass" are viewed as fallacious, since many Indian muslims are quite wealthy and well-represented in many walks of life.
They claim that the muslims claims to the region are unfounded, in violation of common law and based on the beliefs and practices of Islamic Fundamentalism. They allege that this is part of a malicious agenda of hate against Hindus and is an attempt to delegitimize the Hindu ethos in India.

Until 1989 when the BJP made into a political issue there had been no question about the site抯 history [1]. All the written sources, whether Hindu, Muslim or European, were in agreement about the pre-existence of a Rama temple at the site. 揜ama抯 birthplace is marked by a mosque, erected by the Moghul emperor Babar in 1528 on the site of an earlier temple

Muslims and Muslim partisan sources claim that neither history nor fact can come to prove the Hindu case as claimed above.

They claim that is clear that the allegations, on which, the demands of RSS, Vishwa Hindu Parishad & Hindu Munnani are based for laying claim to Babri Masjid are biased against Islam.

According to the District Gazetteer Faizabad 1905, it is said that "up to this time (1855), both the Hindus and Muslims used to worship in the same building. But since the Mutiny (1857), an outer enclosure has been put up in front of the Masjid and the Hindus forbidden access to the inner yard, make the offerings on a platform (chabootra), which they have raised in the outer one."

Some Hindus in 1883 wanted to construct a temple on this chabootra, but the Deputy Commissioner prohibited the same on Jan. 19, 1885. Raghubir Das, a mahant, filed a suit before the Faizabad Sub-Judge. Pandit Harikishan was seeking permission to construct a temple on this chabootra measuring 17 ft. x 21 ft. the suit was dismissed. An appeal was filed before the Faizabad District Judge, Colonel J.E.A. Chambiar who after an inspection of spot on March 17, 1886, dismissed the appeal.

A Second Appeal was filed on May 25, 1886, before the Judicial Commissioner of Awadh, W. Young, who also dismissed the appeal. With this, the first round of legal battle fought by the Hindus came to an end.

During the "communal riots" of 1934, walls around the Masjid and one of the domes of the Masjid were damaged. These were reconstructed by the British Government.

On mid-night of December 22, 1949, when the police guards were asleep, idols of Rama and Sita were quietly brought into the Masjid and were planted. This was reported by constable, Mata Prasad, the next morning and recorded at the Ayodhya police station.

The following morning (Dec. 23, 1949), a large Hindu crowd made a "frantic attempt" to enter the Masjid on in order to offer puja to the deities. The District Magistrate K.K. Nair has recorded that "The crowd made a most determined attempt to force entry. The lock was broken and policemen were rushed off their feet. All of us, officers and men, somehow pushed the crowd back and held the gate. The sadhus recklessly hurled themselves against men and arms and it was with great difficulty that we managed to hold the gate. The gate was secured and locked with a powerful lock brought from outside and police force was strengthened (5:00 pm)."

On hearing this news Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru directed UP Chief Minister Govind Ballabh Pant, to see that the dieties were removed. Under Pant's orders, Chief Secretary Bhagwan Sahay and Inspector-General of Police V.N. Lahiri sent immediate instructions to Faizabad to remove the dieties. However, K.K. Nair feared that the Hindus would retaliate and pleaded inability to carry out the orders.

They have taken to arguing about the law, where they allege that Hindus have been hypocritical in the issue of the Babri Masjid, claiming adherence to common judicial law while allegedly breaking it during the demolition.

The summary of the ASI report [2] showed definite proof of a Hindu temple under the mosque. In the words of ASI researches they stated "discovery of distinctive features associated with... temples of north India".The temple suspected to be under the mosque though, was surmised to be a Shiva temple. The Muslim's attacked the report, stating that it pandered to certain interests and made no remarks on evidence in support of Muslims such as bones unearthed with tool markings on them. The VHP grew emboldened by the ASI's conclusion of a mandir under the structure and stepped up demands for Muslims to restore the three holiest North Indian mandirs to Hindus. Muslims point to the fact that the ASI made no mention of a temple in three interim reports, however, when the final draft was submitted the structure beneath was declared to be a temple

Akibat Meruntuhkan Masjid 40 Orang Hindu Buta

Ingatkah kita kepada Masjid Babry yang dirobohkan oleh orang Hindu di India. Rupanya , selepas perobohan tersebut ada peristiwa yang aneh berlaku kepada mereka yang merobohkannya rumah Allah ini. Bacalah.
Sekitar 40 orang Hindu yang terlibat dalam serangan keji ke atas Masjid Babry untuk merobohkannya pada tanggal 6 Desember 1992,telah mendapat buta setelah gagal diubati walaupun dirawat oleh doktor-doktor pakar terkenal di India.




Berita ini diketahui melalui laporan yang dihebahkan oleh akhbar Anshary Express yang diterbitkan di India. Akhbar itu memberitahu propaganda umat Hindu untuk merobohkan masjid tersebut turut disertai sejumlah besar orang-orang Hindu ekstrem dari berbagai pelusuk India. Mereka sebelumnya telah lama mendapatkan latihan untuk tujuan itu.
Akhbar tersebut juga menyatakan 31 orang yang buta itu tinggal di satu komplek di kota Maharinor. Sebelumnya , mereka pernah melakukan usaha merobohkan masjid tua milik umat Islam itu namun belum berhasil.
Sekarang setelah masjid ini dirobohkan, kumpulan yang buta ini bergantung hidup kepada bantuan yang diberikan organisasi-organisasi Hindu. Selain 31 orang, terdapat 9 orang lain yang merupakan anggota organisasi Gazy Boora di Atar Pradesh turut hilangan penglihatan mereka atau buta setelah terlibat sama merobohkan Masjid Babry.
Berdasarkan laporan akhbar tersebut, mereka yang buta menyesali tindakan tersebut dengan menyatakan bahwa tuhan-tuhan mereka telah murka terhadap mereka kerana telah merobohkan Masjid Babry. Menurut mereka, kebutaan yang mereka alami itu tidak lain adalah sebagai balasan dari tuhan-tuhan mereka itu .
Menurut klaim/wakil mereka, salah seorang waris dari orang-orang tersebut menyebutkan, anak lelakinya memang telah mendapatkan latihan khusus untuk turut serta dalam tindakan merobohkan masjid itu namun ia mengaku belum mengetahui identiti pihak yang telah melatih anak lelakinya itu.
Penduduk setempat terutama yang berada di kawasan sekitar Masjid Babry berkeyakinan bahawa dengan tindakan perobohan tersebut itu mereka telah melakukan dosa besar.Sebab itulah, balasannya mereka menjadi buta.
Sekali pun kejadian ini sudah lama, tetapi mudah-mudahan menjadi pengajaran. Kehilangan penglihatan mereka / buta merupakan azab dari Allah ke atas mereka.Tindakan meroboh Masjid Babry jelas sekali amat besar dosanya.
