Pune based Creations Entertainment has produced a 45 minutes documentary on the battle of Sri Ramjanmabhoomi. The documentary, Ram Mandir: Adalat aur Aastha, has been produced both in Hindi and English. It emphasises on the cleansing evidences found in favour of the temple during the excavation conducted at the disputed site on the order of the Allahabad High court, and also the Court verdict delivered on September 30, 2010 accepting those evidences.
“The prime objective of producing this documentary at this moment is to back the aastha (faith) of the common man in Sri Ram and Sri Ramjanmabhoomi with the archaeological evidences that have been accepted by the court and also could not be questioned by the Muslims there. The evidences prove beyond any doubt that there existed a temple beneath the disputed site in Ayodhya, hence it must be handed over to Hindus for reconstructing a grand temple. There could be no better amicable solution to this tangle than it,” said Smt Angha Ghaisas, producer of the documentary, while talking to mediapersons at Press Club in New Delhi on April 9.
“Ayodhya is a big issue for the entire country, politically as well as socially. Similarly, the religious and sentimental issues involved with it too are very important. The documentary deals with all these aspects and tries to portray the true picture in the background of the Allahabad High Court judgement,” she added.
“The most important question in this issue is that nobody has questioned the validity of the archaeological evidences found during the excavation even in the court. Nobody can also claim that the Muslims were not given proper chance in the court to question those evidences. We are the nation which provides legal support to even the terrorists like Ajmal Kasab to ensure transparency in our legal system,” Smt Ghaisas said.
Apart from providing historical background of Ayodhya and also the information about the battles for Sri Ramjamabhoomi, the documentary has comments from top Hindu religious leaders, experts, advocates and the legal luminaries including Pejawar Swami Shri Vishvesh Teertha, Mahant Awaidyanath, Shankaracharya Swami Nishchalanand Saraswati, noted Jain saint Shri Tarun Sagar Maharaj, Gyani Gurjit Singh of Gurudwara Brahmkund Saheb, Ayodhya, Advocate Shri Madan Mohan Pandey, former District Magistrate of Faizabad Shri RS Srivastava, noted archaeologist Prof AK Sharma, former Joint Director General (Epigraphist) of Archaeological Survey of India Dr KV Ramesh, Sunni Central Waqf Board litigant Hashim Ansari, Sunni Waqf Board advocate Jafaryab Jeelani, former Director General of Archaeological Survey of India Dr BB Lal, etc. Interestingly, no top Muslim religious leader reportedly agreed to comment on camera on this issue. “We contacted more than 50 Muslim leaders of the country but none of them gave bite on this issue,” Smt Ghaisas added.
The documentary also points out that the work of stone carving for reconstructing a grand temple in Ayodhya is almost complete and the construction work can begin within a few days if the court permits or the government finds any way for it.
