The Mahabodhi Temple has always been a Buddhist shrine. Archaeological evidence, the 1895 Bodh Gaya Temple case, and the Government of India’s nomination to UNESCO all support this.
1/ The struggle to reclaim the Mahabodhi Temple began in 1885

Sir Edwin Arnold, author of The Light of Asia, was the first to appeal for its restoration to Buddhist hands, even writing to Buddhist countries for support. Anagarika Dharmapala of Sri Lanka took up the cause in 1891 Image
2/
 A Buddhist monk, Dharmapala, was assaulted by two Muslim officials and a mob led by the Mahant for performing a Buddhist ritual at the Mahabodhi Temple.
In the 1890s, Dharmapala enshrined a Buddha image at the sacred site.

1/ They tried to erase Buddha but failed. They tried to erase Ashoka but failed. They tried to erase Babasaheb Ambedkar but failed.

History shows that anyone who followed Buddha's Dhamma has become invincible and inevitable. A thread on their enduring legacies 🧵👇
2/ Buddha taught the path of Dhamma—centered on truth, justice, and compassion.

Despite attempts to suppress his teachings, Buddha is globally revered. His philosophy has transcended time, influencing cultures, nations, and countless lives.
3/ Ashoka, the great Mauryan emperor, followed Buddha’s Dhamma and transformed from a conqueror into a messenger of peace and wisdom.

His legacy endures. From India’s Lion Capital to temples in Japan, Thailand, and China, Ashoka’s influence is celebrated worldwide.
