The peril of allowing disputed mosque surveys - The Tribune

In 2015, ASI excavators in Keezhadi, Tamil Nadu, unearthed the first ever evidence of urban civilisation from the Sangam era, which is widely considered the pinnacle of Tamil art and literature. A non-Vedic civilisation, however, would not sit well with the purported Vedic origins of India.

Rumour has it that DYC wants his son to be appointed as ASG. Of course, following the law wouldn't have helped much in life. So please Hindutva forces. His stand on Gyanvapi results in loss of four lives in Sambal. There is no other way of looking at it. He knew this would happen
