This case is not so much about the reality of the past as it is about the current reality. It won’t be about legal disputes, court cases and judgments. It would all be about domestic and international considerations.

The global community is much more attuned to religious tolerance and human rights now than, say, back in 1992, thanks to the influence of the social media. Reactions would be swift and vicious. There would be tremendous pressure from western nations through diplomatic channels on Indian government not to tear down the mosque. International organizations (UN human rights council, UNESCO etc) will jump in. If protests break out in India (of course they will!) and people die (of course they will) matter will be escalated to UN general assembly. Trade relations and investments inflows/outflows will be affected too. IMO, it will be nothing short of a nightmare but I could be wrong.

There is a solution to this, however it is one that will have to be accepted by the other party:

"Had Allah not been repelling some people by means of some others, the monasteries, the churches, the synagogues and the mosques where Allah’s name is abundantly recited would have been demolished” (Quran, 22:40). This is the middle portion of the verse that talks about religious persecution, and sets out the moral justification for retaliation against it. Significantly, the verse mentions the houses of worship belonging to non-Islamic religions as places where God’s name is often remembered. Moreover, the mention of masjid is as a generic word for a place of worship, and not specifically the Muslim structure called mosque. Therefore, the import of this verse is universal. In principle, the destruction of a non-Islamic place of worship is also abhorrent.

“Aurangzeb swept down on the city in the year 1669, and left as a monument the mosque close to Gyan Bapi, which he caused to be erected on the ruins of the old Bishwanath temple of the Hindus which he had destroyed. Probably it was at about the same time that another celebrated Hindu temple was demolished, and on its site the mosque erected whose lofty minarets from above Panchganga Ghat, form such a striking centre to the city, and seem to dominate the city from whatever direction it may be viewed, for miles round.”~ Edwin Greaves, “Kashi the City illustrious or Benares,” pp. 4–5, 1909.

“Descending from the lane by a sloping footway the first building that meets the eye is the mosque of Aurangzeb, which replaces the old temple of Bishwanath demolished by the Mahommadans. At the back of the mosque and in continuation of it are some broken remains of what was probably the old Bishwanath Temple. It must have been a right noble building; there is nothing finer, in the way of architecture in the whole city, than this scrap. A few pillars inside the mosque appear to be very old also.”~ p. 80

I am no archeologist. But so far as textual corroborations go, this is just one of MANY. Some even primary.

These places should have been voluntarily surrendered, instead of manufacturing lies and trying to deter the Hindu community from claiming their sacred places.

Who were Babur and Aurangzeb? They were not even religious figures in Islam. They were emperors and conquerors. Nor did any Prophet or Islamic religious figure give sermons in these places. These mosques were built not out of devotion or reverence to their God, but to subdue the non-muslims / Hindus. Trying to tightly hold on to these structures that are nothing but a symbol of aggression, is the testimony of the fact the mindset that made invaders like Babur, and Aurangzeb break our temples, has very much carried forward from medieval times to the 21st century. An ideology of brute force that still manifests itself when temples are broken in Bangladesh, Hindu religious processions are attacked in India, or when Hindus are annihilated in Pakistan. An ideology that must be defeated.
