Bhojshala Doors Open For Puja | The Mughal Debate Reignited

The Madhya Pradesh High Court's ruling declaring the Bhojshala in Dhar as a temple has triggered fresh political and communal debate. While devotees have begun visiting the site in large numbers, concerns are now being raised over the wider implications of the verdict. Leaders like Jamiat Ulema-e-Hind chief Arshad Madani have warned of a growing sense of targeting of Islamic institutions, while senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh has questioned the intent and clarity of the judgment. The bigger question now: from Babri to Bhojshala, does this open the door for similar legal challenges at other places of worship across the country?

Author and historian Vikram Sampath, in an interview with NDTV, stresses the need to reassess how the Mughals portrayed themselves and how they are depicted today. Speaking on The Buck Stops Here, he highlights the evolving interpretation of history and calls for a fresh examination of historical narratives and perspective.
