Watch this folks, it gives a summary of the entire survey.
I deeply respect Adv Hari Shankar Jain (father of Vishnu Jain) but strongly disagree w/ making it a "national monument". It should be restored to being a Shaivya Temple: nothing more, nothing less!
We need to stop letting Hindu property - both physical or intellectual - get appropriated by either political parties or the state. They belong not just to Hindus, but very specifically, their respective samprodayas. So the Ram Mandir would belong to people who primarily worship Shri Rama, Gyanvapi Mandir would belong to Shaivyas, Krishna Janmabhoomi to Vaishnav/Hare Krishna sect and so on!
All of these would have full rights in banning non-believers from their premises. You can't do that w/ a national monument: you'd have to allow in anyone who wants to come in. That would include people who consider worshiping or even honoring our deities as shirk, or people who consider our deities false gods as per the Ten Commandments
So no, tell the Waqf Board that the Gyanvapi is getting repossessed, no apologies made, no questions asked! For a very simple reason: it is stolen property!
