Namaskar everyone. To summarize issue at Mathura. Entire 13.3 acres of Katra Keshavdeva belonged to temple, confirmed by courts in colonial times. In 1968, 3 acres of Katra land given to idgah party. Question by whom and under what political? compulsions? That is key issue.

Namaskar, My years of research makes me respectfully disagree with Sir Vidia. For me, India was not a wounded, but a bludgeoned civilization. She survived holding to a single thread, faith in the foundational divinities. They will restore her to full health, at their pace.
