If u as a Hindu r calling for a museum/hospital or anything other than a temple on RamJanamBhumi, then ur working for jihadis to win: for they hv succeeded in disjoining the Hindu sacred geography from the place and cover it up in public space and imagination.
Wherever Islam has gone it obliterates sacred geography of non-Muslims by destruction/building over/renaming as Islamic site: this is how they use both latent attachment in by-force-converted pre-Islamics to their holy sites as well as obliterate the preIslamic context over time.
Note that none of the sites Islam claims as “holy” on subcontinent appears in their core texts as part of Islamic sacred geography: all of Islam’s sacred geography is that of Judaic sacred geography in the Levant. Outside, it’s all claims by death/burial of some jihadi.
Thus on the subcontinent Islam has no sacred geography as outlined in their texts: it’s all claim by death/burial spot of some Islamic raider-Sufis no exception as all connected to jihad-or building of a mosque -a proof of military conquest and obliteration of native cultures.
It’s Hindus who see divine aspects and manifestations in geography -for them hills/rocks/mountains/caves/rivers/lakes themselves r sacred and parts of the divine: every Hindu sacred geography is abt regeneration even if through destruction. Hindus don’t make a fetish out of death
While holy mountains/rocks/rivers of Islam r the rock of the dome in Jerusalem, Kaaba stone in Mecca, or river Jordan. All in Levant/north Arabia. Everywhere else Islamic holy sites simply sign of military conquest celebrating imposition of Islamic rites and occupation of land.
They dont respect our land and matribhumi as sacred geography of their own! All their love for sacred geography is in the Middle East! Here all that they built was to celebrate their occupation and subjugation of the land. What was mother to us was slave girl to be raped for them
Subcontinent’s sacred geography is for those who acknowledge it so: the Indics who honored the land as both matribhumi and punyabhumi : source, divine, mother and sacred. Raiders looters and rapists don’t have any claim to any of its sacred geography.
