To understand this act. Understand the history of India in 4 phase:
Phase 1 : Vedic civilization to 1200 : Temple construction period
It was the time India was pure Hindu country. Hindus built lacs of temples.
Phase 2 : 1200 CE to 1800 CE - Temple demolition period
Phase 1 : Vedic civilization to 1200 : Temple construction period
It was the time India was pure Hindu country. Hindus built lacs of temples.
Phase 2 : 1200 CE to 1800 CE - Temple demolition period
This was the time Islamic rulers ruled India n in this 600 years
they destroyed thousands of temples n built mosque on them.
Phase 3 : 1800 CE - 1947 CE Hold Period
This was the time when India was neither ruled by Hindus nor by Muslim.
they destroyed thousands of temples n built mosque on them.
Phase 3 : 1800 CE - 1947 CE Hold Period
This was the time when India was neither ruled by Hindus nor by Muslim.
British ruled India that time so status of temple n mosque remained same.
Phase 4 : 1947 - 1991
This was time when India was ruled by Secular govts with majority Hindu population n Hindu demanded their temples back that were demolished in Phase 2
Phase 4 : 1947 - 1991
This was time when India was ruled by Secular govts with majority Hindu population n Hindu demanded their temples back that were demolished in Phase 2
According to estimate in Phase 2 period 40000 temples were demolished n prominent were Ayodhya, kashi and Mathura temples.
Muslims denied to give back them temples n it caused dispute between both communities.
Muslims denied to give back them temples n it caused dispute between both communities.
To end this dispute Congress brought an act The Places of Worship Act, 1991 that says that forget whatever happened before 1947 and status of 1947 will be the final status and wont be changed except one exception Ayodhya.
BJP strongly objected this bill in Parliament

but with the help of other secular parties Congress led by PV Narsimha Rao got this act passed.
Hindu felt cheated coz Partition of India happened on the basis of religion. Hindu got India and Muslim got Pakistan n Hindu thought that now they could reclaim their 40000 temples

that they lost in Phase 2.
But this act said whatever that was that will be that means in 1947 if Kashi temple was Gyanvapi Maschid then it will always remain maschid and no party can go to court.

Biggest loser of this act was Hindus coz there were 40000 mosque in 1947 that were actually temple so by this act those mosque will always remain mosque and can never become temple as they were originally.
By just one act Hindu lost their 40000 temples including Kashi n Mathura

But Congress govt made one mistake n left one loophole in that act.
N that loophole was if the site falls under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 then Place of worship act wont be applicable.
N that loophole was if the site falls under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Sites and Remains Act, 1958 then Place of worship act wont be applicable.
That means if someone can prove that the place comes under ancient monument then it wont come under place of worship act.
Now what is ancient monument ?
any monument or place of worship that is more than 100 years old could be deemed as an ancient monument
Now what is ancient monument ?
any monument or place of worship that is more than 100 years old could be deemed as an ancient monument
So suppose an idol is found in any mosque that is more than 100 year old then ASI has powers to declare that site as ancient monument n then place of worship act wont be applicable.
So if the Shiva Linga found in Gyan vapi mosque is more than 100 year old (As it is definitely)
So if the Shiva Linga found in Gyan vapi mosque is more than 100 year old (As it is definitely)
Then ASI can declare that site as ancient monument n then Place of worship act wont be applicable in that case court can give that place to Hindus.
I m sure minds behind this Gyanvapi activity must be aware of this loophole n they will definitely use it.

So by this they can reclaim all temples without repealing place of worship act coz all mosque have some idols, sites that are more than 100 years old.
