Enacted in 1991, Places of Worship Act was meant to preserve the religious character of places of worship as they stood on August 15, 1947. Designed to uphold India’s secular ethos, it prohibited the conversion of religious sites to prevent communal discord.
But recent events have brought its relevance into question. In the Gyanvapi Mosque case, former CJI D.Y. Chandrachud’s decision to allow a survey sparked debates on the Act’s applicability, with critics arguing that it opened the floodgates for similar disputes.
The ripple effects of this decision are now visible in Sambhal, where the Shahi Jama Masjid has become the center of violent clashes and communal unrest. Has the Act, once intended to ensure harmony, now become a battleground for history and politics?
We delve into the origins of the Places of Worship Act, the Gyanvapi ruling, and how it has set off a wave of disputes.
