In the ongoing Sambhal case, a troubling development has emerged: threats are being made against Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer representing the Hindu side of the mosque-temple dispute. A contentious issue has surfaced in Sambhal regarding whether the land of the Jama Masjid was once a Hindu temple. In today's episode of DNA, Zee News has presented the irrefutable evidence suggesting that the Jama Masjid was constructed over an ancient Hindu temple, as evidenced by the findings from a recent survey. When Zee News reporters hit the ground to investigate, startling revelations came to light that will force many people, who claim the area to be only a mosque, to rethink their stance. Threats to Legal Advocate Vishnu Shankar Jain In the ongoing Sambhal case, a troubling development has emerged: threats are being made against Vishnu Shankar Jain, a lawyer representing the Hindu side of the mosque-temple dispute. His role in the case has made him a target, and disturbing messages indicate a serious threat to his life. This raises questions about the motivations behind such threats. Could they be aimed at derailing the case, or is there a more sinister agenda at play? Vishnu Shankar Jain: Targeted for Exposing the Truth? Vishnu Shankar Jain has been at the forefront of legal battles related to Hindu religious sites, including the Ram Mandir-Babri case, Kashi Vishwanath-Gyanvapi case, and others. Recently, in Sambhal, Jain has been accused by certain quarters of inciting violence during the mosque survey, despite evidence to the contrary. CCTV footage clearly shows the attackers, not Jain, responsible for the violence, yet Jain has been targeted on social media, with claims that he incited the riots. In an exclusive interview, Jain refuted these accusations and suggested that the threats against him are aimed at silencing the truth and derailing the case. His response raises some critical questions: Is there a truth about the Jama Masjid in Sambhal that some groups want to suppress? Why is Vishnu Shankar Jain being targeted? The Ground Reality of the Sambhal Riots The recent riots in Sambhal have seen the active involvement of violent mobs. CCTV footage from November 24 shows masked individuals throwing stones in narrow lanes, an act fueled by a provocative figure who is seen encouraging the crowd. This individual, dressed in white with a black shawl and cap, repeatedly gestures for the mob to advance and escalate their actions. This footage has led to the identification of key figures responsible for inciting violence. Following the riots, the police came under scrutiny for their actions, with accusations that they fired indiscriminately on a Muslim crowd. However, further investigation, including more video evidence, suggests that the police were simply maintaining order and did not act as recklessly as some critics have claimed. New Claims of Ancient Temple Artifacts in Sambhal In addition to the mosque-temple dispute, new claims have surfaced about ancient Hindu temple artifacts found in Sambhal. Archaeologists claim that remnants of the Hindu temple of Lord Vishnu, including idols and relics from the Gupta period, have been discovered. These claims support the theory that the Jama Masjid in Sambhal was built over an ancient temple. Atul Mishra, an archaeologist from Sambhal, and his family have collected these artifacts over the years, including a statue of Lord Vishnu and a relic resembling the Vishnu chakra. Mishra argues that these findings, combined with historical records, suggest that the Jama Masjid site was once home to the Harirh Temple, which was demolished to construct the mosque. ASI’s Allegations Against Jama Masjid Committee Another intriguing angle to the dispute involves the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI). ASI has filed an affidavit in the Sambhal court accusing the Jama Masjid management of obstructing archaeological inspections. Despite the Jama Masjid being a protected monument since 1920, ASI officials claim that they have been denied access to carry out necessary preservation work. In recent inspections, ASI found alterations to the mosque structure that they believe were made to hide its original temple-like foundation. This raises the question: Why is the Jama Masjid committee interfering with ASI’s work? Are they trying to cover up evidence that could reveal the truth about the mosque’s origins?

Jimmy Carter’s public service heralded by Southern California lawmakers on either side of the aisleA new study published by the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) reveals significant workplace discrimination against Israeli-Americans and Jews in the U.S. According to the research, Israeli-American job seekers are required to submit 39% more applications to receive the same number of positive responses as their Western European counterparts applying for identical positions. For Jewish-American job seekers, the figure is 24% more applications. The city with the most significant disparity for Israelis is Seattle, the tech and coffee capital, home to major companies like Amazon, Microsoft, Costco and Starbucks. The study, conducted by Dr. Brian Tomlin, an economist at California State University Channel Islands (CSUCI), was based on an experiment in which 3,000 job applications were sent for administrative positions. The applications included identical resumes, except for details revealing the candidate's origin— whether they were Jewish, Israeli or Western European. The results show that cultural or religious backgrounds can be a significant barrier to employment opportunities, even when qualifications are identical. In addition to geographic differences, the study found that how information was presented on resumes had an impact. For instance, resumes with names strongly associated with Jewish or Israeli identities (e.g., "Lia Abraham" and "Rebecca Cohen") led to clear disparities in responses. Other factors, such as the use of Hebrew as a second language or listing an Israeli-associated workplace, contributed to the discrimination. The study also revealed local variations. Israeli-Americans received notably better responses in cities like New York and Philadelphia, where their positive response rates were similar to or slightly higher than Western European candidates. However, researchers note that the differences were not statistically significant, making it unclear whether this was due to genuine openness or random employer patterns. In contrast, Seattle showed a particularly negative disparity, where Israeli candidates received only a 6.8% positive response rate, compared to 23.1% for Western European candidates. Researchers suggest further study is needed to understand the underlying causes. 3 View gallery In Seattle, only 6.8% of Israeli candidates received positive responses to their job applications ( Photo: Shutterstock ) In most cities examined, Israeli-American and Jewish-American candidates faced some level of discrimination, though its severity varied across regions. In cities with higher unemployment rates, the disparities were more pronounced, likely due to increased competition for jobs, leading to more stringent candidate screening. Additionally, in cities with higher average salaries, Israeli and Jewish candidates were more likely to be rejected, hinting that employers in those areas tend to be particularly selective. These findings suggest that a combination of high competition and high wages may exacerbate discrimination against certain groups, even when candidates' skills and experience are equivalent. Cities with the most noticeable bias against Israelis and Jews included Atlanta, Baltimore, Portland, Minneapolis, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Denver, Houston, Miami, Phoenix and San Diego. On the other hand, cities where Israelis and Jews were treated more equally or even favorably included Los Angeles, Austin, Dallas, Boston, Trenton, San Francisco, San Antonio and Las Vegas. 3 View gallery Miami ( Photo: Shutterstock ) According to Tomlin, the data shows that Jewish and Israeli candidates are forced to prove themselves beyond typical expectations but are not treated fairly. "It is difficult, if not impossible, to prove discrimination in the job market—especially when it comes to Israelis or Jews, who are not defined as an ethnic minority group protected in the U.S.," he said. "However, the findings show that people lose job opportunities because of their identity, not due to a lack of qualifications." The study also found that some employers who identified Israeli candidates responded in Hebrew or made direct references to their Israeli background, such as offering greetings like "Good luck!" In contrast, no similar responses were recorded for Jewish or Western European candidates. The researchers noted that this indicates employers view an applicant's Israeli background as significant, either positively or negatively.

Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO of the ADL, called the findings "unprecedented evidence of antisemitic discrimination in the job market." He added, "In addition to the rise in antisemitic incidents and beliefs, the study highlights the urgent need to combat prejudice against Jews and Israelis in the workplace. Beyond the legal aspects, organizations must recognize their social responsibility and ensure an inclusive work environment." >
