This work of monumental research is atreatise on Ayodhyã with utmostauthenticity and absolute accuracy. Basedon original sources and scientificinvestigation it propounds a new thesis,which demolishes many popularperceptions. It exonerates the intrepidwarrior Babur from the charge ofdemolishing a temple on the birth-site ofRãma and constructing the mosque whichhas been a source of contention anddissension for long. It further shows howinscriptions in the mosque were factitiousand Mir Baqi of inscriptions is a fictitiousperson different from Baqi Tashkindi/Shegawal of the Baburnama.The book produces incontrovertibleevidence which indubitably proves thatthere existed a Rãma temple on the Rãmajanmabhùmi.The exact birthplace ofRãma was earmarked by a rectangularBedi measuring 18 ft. 9 inches in lengthand 15ft. in width, and was located in theinner portion of the disputed shrine. Thedemolition of the temple and theconstruction of the mosque did not takeplace in 1528 A.D. but in c. 1660 A.D.when Fedai Khan was the Governor ofAurangzeb at Ayodhyã. It is a historicalfact that until the British takeover ofAwadh administration in 1858 both theHindus and Muslims used to perform pujaand offer Namaz respectively inside it.All Mughal Emperors from Babur toShah Jahan were magnanimous and liberalrulers and the Bairãgìs of Ayodhyã enjoyedpatronage of the first four Nawabs ofAwadh. However, during the long rule ofAurangzeb the country was engulfed in thefire of fanaticism. It has been shown in thisbook how an absolutely unfounded rumourin 1855 A.D. that the Hanumangarhitemple was constructed on the site of amosque created cleavage between the twocommunities, and the resultant festeringwounds have not healed despite bestefforts by saner elements of both thecommunities.The book exposes many eminenthistorians’ hypocrisy and their lack ofcertitude in writing history and it may besaid that their presentation of contrivedhistory on Ayodhya has caused irreparabledamage to the cause of harmonizingcommunal relations in the country. Incontrast, this text earnestly tries to takeaway the toxin from the polluted body ofIndian politics. For the first time a numberof unexplored documents have beenincorporated in this book as evidence, andit may be proclaimed with pride that thisbook contains much more information onAyodhya than available hitherto.Justice G.B. Patnaik, a former ChiefJustice of India, after going through themanuscript, has endorsed the author'sthesis in his Foreword. It is hoped that thebook will put a quietus to the long-standingdispute.

Widely known for his splendid devotion to duty and impeccable integrity Kishore Kunal is a former I.P.S. officer who took voluntary retirement from the coveted Indian Police Service almost a decade prior to his due superannuation. During his stint in I.P.S., he held important positions which included the post of S.S.P., Patna and that of Officer-on-Special Duty on Ayodhya in the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India during the regime of two Prime Ministers—Vishwanath Pratap Singh and Chandra Shekhar. He was instrumental in the negotiations between the two conflicting parties for the amicable settlement of the dispute, and in this connection documents on Ayodhya were exchanged between them in the early nineties of the last century with his active initiative.
After voluntary retirement from I.P.S. in 2001, he was Vice-Chancellor of K.S.D. Sanskrit University, Darbhanga in Bihar. As an Honorary Secretary of the famous Hanuman Mandir, Patna he heralded a new era on 13th June 1993 by appointing a Dalit priest in the magnificent Mahavir (Hanuman) Mandir at Patna in presence of a galaxy of top religious leaders. During his long tenure as the President of Bihar State Board of Religious Trusts, he appointed Dalit priests in a number of temples in Bihar and sent a strong message of social equality in the most difficult arena of religion.
Kunal combined philanthropic activities with religious rituals by establishing five big hospitals through the aegis of Hanuman Mandir Trust. Its Cancer Hospital is one of the largest cancer hospitals in the country where poor patients get utmost care and substantial financial assistance from the temple trust for treatment. Its child and maternity hospital is one of the best hospitals in North India.
Kunal has been a reputed police officer, able administrator, acclaimed academician and social reformer. A diligent and assiduous student of History and Sanskrit he is an avid reader having a penchant for proof of everything which takes him into every possible detail and depth of the subject. An author of many brilliant books his magnum opus ‘Dalit-Devo Bhava’ demolishes many pernicious perceptions and myths concerning caste-discrimination in the Hindu society. His monumental work ‘Ayodhya Revisited’ has been well-received and highly appreciated by scholars and legal luminaries. Former Chief Justice of India Justice G.B. Patnaik observed in the Foreword to that book that it “would be a great asset to the nation at large, which may be helpful in defusing the tension between the two communities.” In the Foreword to the present work another Former Chief Justice of India Justice M.N. Venkatachaliah has graciously blessed that ‘the work of Sri Kishore Kunal may help to understand the historic background and antecedents of the dispute with a little more clarity and a little less emotive self-righteousness.’
