On May 15, 2026, the Madhya Pradesh High Court ruled that the Bhojshala temple-Kamal Maula mosque site in Dhar, Madhya Pradesh, is a Hindu temple dedicated to goddess Saraswati, granting complete worship rights to the Hindu community. In response, representatives from the Muslim community announced plans to challenge this ruling in the Supreme Court, asserting their claim to the site. Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain, representing the Hindu side, hailed the decision as 'historic,' emphasizing that it recognizes the Bhojshala complex as a center of learning and worship for Hindus. In contrast, Muslim representatives expressed their dissatisfaction, highlighting that their arguments were not adequately considered. They plan to contest the ruling, rejecting the court's suggestion that they seek alternative land for a mosque. The situation has led to heightened security measures in Dhar, with over 1,200 security personnel deployed to maintain order amid celebrations by the Hindu community. This legal dispute has a long history, with tensions between the two communities escalating since the mid-1990s, particularly during significant religious observances.
