In recent times, mosque-related controversies have intensified in the country. Amid demands for mosque surveys, the chief of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), Mohan Bhagwat, stated that raising such issues is unacceptable. However, the opinion of RSS's official publication appears to diverge significantly from Bhagwat's stance.
The RSS's Organiser magazine has published its latest cover story addressing the Sambhal mosque controversy, emphasizing the importance of understanding the authentic history of disputed sites and structures. The magazine notes that uncovering the truth of religious sites that have been attacked or demolished is akin to attaining civilizational justice.
The magazine further states that knowing the truth about attacked or demolished religious sites is essential. Understanding history is crucial for promoting peace and harmony among all communities and achieving civilizational justice.

The article highlights the necessity for India's Muslim community to acknowledge the historical injustices inflicted upon Hindus by invaders. The editorial notes that the struggle to unearth the truth, from Somnath to Sambhal and beyond, is not about religious supremacy. It is about establishing our national identity and achieving civilizational justice. The piece also calls for healing historical wounds.
In an editorial published in the Organiser, Praful Ketkar emphasized the need for a unified approach to eradicate religious animosity and discord. Dr. B.R. Ambedkar explored the root causes of caste-based discrimination and provided constitutional solutions for its eradication. It is argued that this can only be achieved when Muslims accept the truth.
It is noteworthy that RSS Chief Bhagwat recently expressed concern over the increasing demand for surveys of mosques, labeling this trend unacceptable. On December 19th, while addressing an event in Pune, he remarked that the Ram Temple in Ayodhya was a matter of faith for Hindus, but raising new issues daily is unacceptable.
