India's Court Orders Survey of Mosque in Controversial Hindu-Muslim Dispute

An Indian court has granted permission to survey the Shahi Eidgah mosque in Mathura city, Uttar Pradesh, to determine if it contains Hindu relics and symbols. Hindu groups claim the mosque was built on the site of a destroyed Hindu temple believed to be the birthplace of Lord Krishna. The survey aims to ascertain the presence of any relics or Hindu symbols inside the mosque. This dispute is part of a larger controversy in India, where hardline Hindu groups seek to reclaim and restore revered temples, often leading to conflicts with the country's Muslim minority.
