<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->VA: It is not true that the Bairagis did not regain occupied temples.
The Hanuman Garhi was also demolished by a Muslim Emperor and in
1800's it was captured by Hindu monks after a bloddy battle with the
muslims.
I believe that the Hanuman Garhi was subsequently used as a bastion
by Hindu monks to launch an attack on the Babri temple itself, but it
failed.
The Muslims tried to regain possession of teh Hamuman Garhi itself.
Matters reached a boiling point and Wajid Ali Shah, the then ruler of
Awadh, warned Muslim zealots not to attempt that.
The Muslim group was covertly funded by the Begum of Bhopal, while
the Hindu group had support from the Raja of Gwalior. When the Muslim
group decided to advance, they were shot dead by the soldiers of
Wajid Ali Shah, and about 400 Muslims died (this was around 1850 AD)
and were buried in graveyard called 'Kabristan e shahidaan' on the
side of the Babri mosque.
Apparently, during the demolition of the mosque in 1992, the
graveyard was also obliterated.
In Ayodhya itself, there is a 'Brahmakunda Gurudwara' which was built
at the spot where Guru Gobind Singh led a Hindu attack on the Babri
Masjid and occupied it. The Granthis/Gianis of the Gurudwara
therefore follow the Guru's tradition and have been firm supporters
of the Temple movement, and are constant seen in the company of
Ramachandra Pramahans.
