Introduction
In order to understand fully the meaning of what was exposed at Sidhpur and the strife it caused, we have to know what the Rudramahălaya was, how it came to be built at Sidhpur and how a Jămi Masjid was raised on its site and from its debris. The Report of the Minorities Commission provides some historical background. So does the Note from the Government of Gujarat. But the information is meagre and leaves a lot to be told. Both of them were dealing with a communal problem and were not expected to give a detailed history of Sidhpur, the Rudramahălaya and the Jămi Masjid.
