KK Muhammed, former Regional Director (North) of the Archaeological Survey of India, in his Malayalam autobiography, Njan Enna Bharatheeyan, wrote that there is solid evidence of the existence of a temple under the Babri mosque. He even said none of the English dailies, to which he kept on sending these findings, ever took notice. He lamented that the issue would have settled long ago if the Muslim intelligentsia had not fallen prey to the brain-washing of leftist historians, who kept on arguing to the contrary.
