(MENAFN- Live Mint) Knowing the real history of disputed sites and structures is important for 'civilisational justice,' the latest issue of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh-affiliated magazine, the Organiser, says, days after Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat warned against fresh temple-mosque disputes in the country.
The magazine has carried a cover story titled 'Battle for Civilisational Justice' on the Sambhal Jama Masjid controversy where it has claimed how a temple 'existed in place' of the mosque in the Uttar Pradesh town, a report in The Indian Express said.

“The time is ripe to address this quest for civilisational justice. Babasaheb Ambedkar went to the root cause of caste-based discrimination and provided constitutional remedies to end the same. We need a similar approach to end the religious acrimony and disharmony,” the magazine editorial by editor Prafulla Ketkar reads, according to theThe Indian Express report.
The editorial doesn't refer to Bhagwat's warnin on temple-mosque disputes. Instead, it says that the demand for truth in the context of religious spaces that were historically invaded or demolished is a necessary undertaking.
The magazine has carried a cover story titled 'Battle for Civilisational Justice' on the Sambhal Jama Masjid controversy, “This approach, based on accepting the truth about Itihasa, disassociating Bharatiya Muslims from the perpetrators of iconoclasm and religious supremacy, and redressing the quest for civilisational justice, offers hope for peace and harmony. Denying such access to justice and right to know the truth just because some colonised elites and pseudo intellectuals want to continue with the application of 'shoddy Secularism' would encourage radicalism, separatism and hostility,” the editorial reads.
What Mohan Bhagwat said?
Earlier this month, Mohan Bhagwat said that it is 'unacceptable ' to rake up new temple-mosque disputes in India while reiterating that Ram Mandir in Ayodhya was a matter of faith.
