'Bhojshala' is an ancient and the only temple of Mata Saraswati, built by Raja Bhoj in 1034 AD. ('See Photo Evidences') Bhojshala was home to thousands of students and scholars and it was main centre of education. Attacks on Bhojshala started from 1305 AD and Muslims built today's Kamal Moulana dargah near Bhojshala. ('Read Detailed Timeline of Facts')
Bhojshala has become victim of Governments of Madhya Pradesh due to appeasement of Muslims for votes. Today Archeological Survey of India (ASI) allows everyone to go inside Bhojshala 'as a tourist' with fees. On every Tuesday, Hindus are allowed to enter in Bhojshala and offer flowers and akshata to Saraswati Mata. But since the new idol of Vagdevi is seized by Madhya Pradesh government and kept in Gwalior jail, Hindus can't offer anything to Saraswati Mata. On every Friday, Muslims are allowed to offer Namaz in Bhojshala complex. Vasant (Basant) Panchami, also known as Mata Saraswati Jayanti is the only day in the year on which Hindus are allowed to perform full-fledge puja by taking idol or photo of Mata Saraswati inside Bhojshala. So Muslims can offer Namaz in Bhojshala 52 times in a year, but Hindus can perform puja only once in a year. It should be noted that Dhar, where Bhojshala is located, has 16 mosques to offer Namaz.
What do you want in Bhojshala on this Vasant Panchami (15th February 2013) - Puja or Namaz ?
In year 2006, Vasant (Basant) Panchami was on friday, so the demand of the Hindus to perform puja in Bhojshala for the full day was refused and the police also used force against Hindu devotees and arrested many. Now this year 2013, again Vasant (Basant) Panchami happens to be on friday and Hindu Devotees are demanding to perform puja for the whole day and restrict Muslims to offer Namaz in Bhojshala on this day. Also the BJP Govt. should release Vagdevi (Mata Saraswati) idol from Gwalior Jail, which was installed by Hindus in Bhojshala.
on 15th February 2013, 'Bhoj-shala' should be made available to Hindus instead of Muslims for 'namaz', as it is the day of Vasant Panchami falling on Friday.
The Government should release the idol of Shri Vagdevi made of 'Ashta-dhatu (8 metals) from the Gwalior jail.
From the evidences, it is amply clear that Bhojshala is nothing but a Hindu temple and hence it should be handed over to Hindus completely.
The Government should restrict Muslims permanently to enter and offer Namaz in Bhojshala.
Today it is observed that few fanatics and miscreants are damaging ancient idols of Deities and other signs of temple. This damage should stop immediately and Government should ensure that these idols and signs should not get harmed.
Bring back the original idol of Shri Vagdevi from London Museum.

I am surprised to see that this is second Ayodhya ! There may be more Bhojshala in the country .Before starting of Ayodhya movement, many Hindus were in the dark. But after the movement started , it came to limelight. So let there be wide publicity on the matters of Bhojshala .The sleeping Hindus should be aware of the all-encompassing dangers.Hindu tourists visiting from the other parts of the country be informed of it. I shall however take my own initiative .

Its high time Hindus should unite and get back our rights. To unite all hindus there should be some symbol as part of our daily dress code. Maybe some kind of saffron band.

Timeline
1034 AD - Establishment of Bhojshala by Raja Bhoj
Raja Bhoj
'Bhojshala' is an ancient and the only temple of Mata Saraswati, Goddess of Knowledge and Wisdom. The temple was built in the year of 1034 AD by Raja Bhoj, the mighty Hindu King whose empire stretched from Rajasthan to Odisha and from Madhya Pradesh to Maharashtra. This temple of Mata Saraswati is situated at Dhar district in Madhya Pradesh, which was capital of Raja Bhoj. Bhojshala was home to thousands of students and scholars and it was main centre of education.
1305 AD - First Muslim attack on Bhojshala by Alauddin Khilji
Bhojshala was first attacked by infamous and cruel Muslim invader Alauddin Khilji in 1305 AD. After the sacrifices of Hindu king Raja Mahakaldev and his soldiers in the battle, Khilji killed 1200 Hindu students and teachers in Bhojshala as they refused to convert to Islam.
The process of Islamic attack started 36 years back, when a Muslim fakir named Kamal Moulana entered Malwa in 1269 AD. He used treacherous ways and converted many Hindus to Islam. He collected detailed information of Malwa region for 36 years and handed it over to Alauddin Khilji.
1401 AD - Destruction of Vijay Mandir (Surya Martand temple) by Dilawar Khan
A Muslim emperor named Dilawar Khan destroyed Vijay Mandir (Surya Martand temple) and tried to convert part of Saraswati Temple Bhojshala into dargah. Today Muslims offer Namaz in this same Vijay Mandir and now conspiracy is hatched to prove that it is actually a dargah named 'Lat Masjid'.
1514 AD - Construction of Kamal Moulana Makbara by Mehmudshah Khilji II
In this year, Mehmudshah attacked Bhojshala and tried to convert it into dargah. He encroached land outside Saraswati Temple and built 'Kamal Moulana Makbara' after 204 years of death of Kamal Moulana. On this ground only, conspiracy is hatched to prove that Bhojshala is actually a dargah.
1552 AD - Treachery by a Muslim soldier with Hindus
In 1552 AD, a Rajput knight named Medaniray collected devout Hindu soldiers and compelled Mehmud Khilji to flee. Medaniray killed thousands of Muslim soldiers and arrested 900 Muslim knights in Dhar fort. On 25 March 1552, a Muslim soldier working in Dhar fort indulged in treachery and released arrested Muslim knights. The name of soldier indulged in treachery was Syed Masud Abdal Samarkandi. He was killed by Medaniray afterwards, but still Syed Masud is worshipped in Dhar fort as 'Bandi Chhod Data'.
1826 AD - Malwa captured by British
In 1703 AD, Malwa was captured Marathas (Hindus) ending rule of Muslims. In 1826 AD, East India Company defeated Hindus and conquered Malwa. They too attacked Bhojshala and destroyed many monuments and temples.

1961 AD - Dr. Wakankar proved that Vagdevi idol in London actually belongs to Bhojshala
Padmashri Dr. Vishnu Shridhar Wakankar, a well known archeologist, artist, writer and historian visited London and proved that Vagdevi idol in London was installed by Raja Bhoj in Bhojshala. Then he tried to release this idol by meeting theofficials of London Museum. After returning to India, Dr. Wakankar visited the then Prime Ministers Jawaharlal Nehru in 1961 and Indira Gandhi in 1977, but no one tried to bring back Vagdevi idol in India.
1997 AD - Congress Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh barred Hindus from entering Bhojshala and allowed Muslims to offer Namaz in Bhojshala
Before 12 March 1997, Hindus were allowed to take darshan, but were not allowed to perform puja. CM Digvijaya Singh issued draconian order allowing Muslims to offer Namaz in Bhojshala on every friday and barred Hindus even from entering Bhojshala. Hindus were allowed only one day of Vasant Panchami to enter and perform puja in Bhojshala.

2002 AD - Police brutality on Hindus on Vasant Panchami
As awareness about Bhojshala was increasing in Hindus, more and more devotees started to visit Bhojshala on Vasant Panchami. Due to this fear, so-called seculars and fanatics arranged programs by forwarding the occasion of 'Birthday of Kamal Moulana'. Government issued order that 'Hindus can perform puja only up to 1 pm and thereafter Qawwali and other programs will take place'. When Hindu devotees tried to enter Bhojshala, police attacked them brutally and resorted to lathi charge. They did not even spared women. Hindu devotees present there defied all odds and performed Maha-aarti of Mata Saraswati by entering into Bhojshala.
2003 AD - Continuous attempts to foil Vasant Panchami by Government and efforts of Hindus
Hindu Jagran Manch vowed to celebrate 2003 Vasant Panchami with full enthusiasm and to free Bhojshala from clutches of fanatics and seculars. Rath Yatras (processions) were carried out in many villages and cities of Dhar district and more than 9 lakh Hindus performed puja in yatra. By fearing such unity and devotion of Hindus, Digvijaya Singh and his government hatched conspiracy to foil Vasant Panchami festival. Police tore and blackened posters creating awareness about Bhojshala. Many camps were arranged by government to woo public. Govt. employees were engaged in unnecessary works. All schools, lodges, hotels, dharmashalas and even vehicles were seized. But defying all odds and obstacles, more than 1 lakh Hindus celebrated Vasant Panchami at Bhojshala on 6 February 2003. Dr. Pravin Togadia addressed Hindu devotees and Hindus warned government to free Bhojshala on 18 February and if this will not happen, then Hindus will free Bhojshala on their own.
Check more photos in 'Photo Evidences' section
Fearing the warning given by Hindus, Digvijaya Singh imposed section 144 and arrested many Hindu activists on 18 February. Police fired teargas shells and bullets and resorted to lathi charge on Hindu devotees. Even women and children were not spared in the brutal police attack. 23 Hindus were critically injured.
Digvijaya Singh imposed curfew on 19 February also. When Hindu devotees were going towards Bhojshala, they were attacked by police with lathis and police also fired bullets on them. More than 35 Hindus were critically injured and 2 Hindus died due to bullets. Police brutally attacked Hindu men and women arrested and kept in jail and even refused water and medical aid to them. Many Hindu activists were falsely charged under IPC 302, 307 and 436. Hindus in whole Dhar district faced atrocities by government, but did not deter from their devotion.
On 8 April 2003, Digvijaya Singh had to bow before continuous protests by Hindus and Bhojshala was opened for Hindus. The Hindu devotess were allowed darshan everyday and can perform puja only with flower on tuesday.

2006 AD - Betrayal of Hindus by BJP Government of Madhya Pradesh
In 2006, Vasant Panchami came on Friday and hence Hindus demanded to perform puja for full day and Muslims should not offer Namaz on this day. But BJP CM Shivraj Singh Chauhan refused this demand and allowed Muslims to offer Namaz. He ordered to security forces to 'maintain law and order at any cost' and forces attacked Hindu devotees trying to enter Bhojshala, while police vehicles 'dropped' Muslims at Bhojshala for Namaz. Police resorted to lathi charge and even fired teargas shells on Hindu devotees. Thousands of Hindus were injured in police attacks.
It should be noted that on 31st March 2003, the delegation comprising of Shivraj Singh Chauhan, the then MP, criticised Digvijaya Singh for 'politising the issue to appease a particular community' on Bhojshala issue. He also said, "There are so many evidences that Bhojshala is a temple. Even a blind person can identify it as a temple, leave alone others."
2012 AD – Once again BJP Government betrayed Hindus
In 2012 AD, this same BJP government of Madhya Pradesh refused Hindu devotees to take out 'Palkhi Yatra' of Mata Saraswati and even attacked and arrested Hindu devotees. BJP Govt. also took away newly installed idol of Vagdevi (Mata Saraswati) and kept it in Gwalior Jail. BJP Govt. also arrested Mr. Navalkishore Sharma of Hindu Jagran Manch who was on indefinite hunger strike to allow Hindus to arrange 'Palkhi Yatra' and to install idol of Vagdevi again in Bhojshala.
Happenings learnt during meeting with Acharya Dharmendra at Dhar in connection with deciding about further course of action in ‘Bhoj-shala’ ‘Saraswati Mandir case !
Dhar (Madhya Pradesh) : ‘Dharma-sabha’ has been organized at Rajwada at 11.00 a.m. on 28th February to protest against incidents like beating up of Hindus in ‘Bhoj-shala’ on the day of ‘Vasant-Panchami’; as also against harassment of Shankaracharya Swami Narendrananda Saraswati
While introducing our country as an ancient nation of enlightened sages and brave heroes, we don’t really know history of regions which are close to us. The so-called historians of this country have hidden the treasure from us by trying to conceal the facts of Mughals and Christians grabbing our regions or have distorted our history.
An agitation was launched by Hindus in legal ways for the past so many days in order to secure right to perform worship only for Hindus, in the temple of Shri Saraswati Devi at Bhojshala, in Dhar (M.P.) on 15.2.2013, the day of Vasant Panchami, and Muslims should not be allowed to offer Namaz.
On 7th February, two hours before the commencement of Dharma Sansad (Religious parliament), Mahamandaleshwar Swami Yatin Giriji Maharaj had arranged a press conference in His Ashram, in Kumbh city.
Even though Vishva Hindu Parishad enforced restrictions on all Saints to express their opinions limited to the topic of Ram temple during Dharma Sansad (Religious parliament) held in Kumbh city on 7th February, many Saints made references from the dais to various attacks occurring on Hindus.
Saints will go to Dhar( MP) leaving ‘Kumbh-Mela’ to protest if reading ‘namaz’ is allowed in ‘Bhoj-shala’ on the day of Vasant Panchami. BJP strongly warned by Saints in ‘Kumbh-mela’ !
What does BJP thinks of Bhojshala ? Why BJP is obstinate for having namaz inside the temple ? Why BJP State Govt. had jailed Maa Saraswati idol at Gwalior ? Why BJP is playing with religious sentiments of Hindus ?
"It is not difficult for the State Government to ask Muslims to read ‘namaz’ at some other place instead of ‘Bhojshala’. The Government should take this decision taking everyone’s interest into account", said Shri. Govindacharyaji
BJP rulers need to take atonement for keeping Sri Saraswatidevi idol in prison ! - H. H. Acharya Swami Shri. Dharmendra Maharaj ‘Dharma-sabha’ held at Indore for release of Bhojshala from Fanatics encroachment
A Dharma-Sabha (Public meeting to awaken Hindus about Dharma) is organised jointly by Saraswatidevi birthday celebration committee and Bhojshala Liberation Yadnya Committee at 1.00 p.m. on Tuesday the 22nd January 2013, Nath temple, South Tukoganj, Dhakkanwala Kuvva, Madhumilan Chowk, Indore.
Selfless activists of HJS are working for the establishment of Hindu Rashtra. It is a Divine mission and the penance and spiritual strength of Saints is behind it.
Join hands for reinstating glory of Vagdevi and Bhojshala !
How can you contribute?
Awareness should be created in own region by explaining the subject.
Siganture drive may be undertaken through the medium of social, religious organizations so also through own community and the letter so signed can be sent to the Chief Minister.
Their strong feelings can be conveyed to theMadhya Pradesh Government and Central Government through letters, e-mails, 'Facbook' etc.
On 15th February, collective 'aartis' maybe organized in the nearby temples.
Participate in the functions held on the occasion at 'Bhoj-shala' .
Shri. Navalkishore Sharma
O Hindus, let us take inspiration from Shri. Navalkishore Sharma, Madhya Pradesh who has an intense yearning for protection of Dharma !
Shri. Navalkishore Sharma (35) has worked as 'Pracahrak' of RSS in Madhya Pradesh and Assam for several years. He is striving to prevent encroachment of Muslims in 'Bhojshala'. He has been undertaking this mission through a separate forum; taking into account the apathy of RSS towards this issue. He creates awareness towards the matter of 'Bhojshala' through exhibiting 'flex' boards all over the country. Unfortunately, he has to face opposition from RSS and BJP for the same, for protection of 'Bhojshala'. Shri. Sharma had participated in the 'All India Hindu Convention' held in the year 2012.
