You will never be in such a situation. You are incapable of comprehending such a situation. Statements like "yeah!! go Hindus!! about time!!" or "noooo!! i want the mosque back!!" are completely meaningless, especially when you have literally never heard of this place before and have formed your opinion in less than ten minutes.
It seems you don't fucking get it. I can comprehend situations even if I've never been in them personally. I guess you can't, but for most people this is a relatively easy thing to do. We can go further, and even relate it to other subjects that might be more familiar. I could ask Jewish NSers how they feel about the idea of tearing down the Dome of the Rock and rebuilding their temple, and whether that would be the right thing to do. Or various Pagan/indigenous temples that were Christianized or destroyed. Or ask Christians about the Hagia Sophia being a Mosque. It's not a totally unrelatable situation. It even bares a little similarity to the current trend of tearing down statuary of questionable historical figures, and the question of what, if anything, should replace them. It's possible to think about this stuff. And that's what the OP asked us to do. So we did.
Further, I realize that you may have only learned about this 10 minutes ago. But some of us who pay more attention to global affairs have known about this for a while. Some of us even remember when the Mosque was destroyed.
no, you really can't. 99% of nsg cannot imagine three thousand people dying over a mosque.
Neat! You have an opinion you formed in less than ten minutes from thirty years ago!
