Babri Mosque Razing

In a gesture of reconciliation, two prominent Muslims who lived through deadly riots following the razing of Babri mosque in 1992 plan to attend the foundation-laying ceremony for the Ram temple on Wednesday on the same site, they said.

Veteran BJP leader LK Advani today recordedhis statement in the 1992 Babri mosque demolition case before a special CBI court through video conference. The 92-year-old, named among the accused in the case related to the razing of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya, appeared before the special CBI court in Lucknow via video link.

The Babri Masjid Action Committee plans to go to the Supreme Court to claim the debris of the razed Babri mosque in Ayodhya and take it away before work starts on a Ram temple.

The razing of the Babri mosque in Ayodhya was enacted by students at a school annual day function in Karnataka on Sunday, attended by Puducherry Lieutenant Governor Kiran Bedi and Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda. The school, Shri Rama Vidya Kendra in Dakshina Kannada district, is owned by a senior leader of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), ...

If the Babri Masjid in Uttar Pradesh's Ayodhya was illegal why were BJP veteran LK Advani and others being tried in connection with its demolition, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen or AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi asked on Saturday.

The Supreme Court today said that the disputed site in Ayodhya of the razed Babri mosque would be handed over to a trust to oversee the construction of a temple, subject to conditions. A separate piece of land in the holy town will be given to Muslim groups to build a new mosque, the court ruled in a historic judgement aimed at ending a legal wrang...

The disputed land in Ayodhya will be given to a government-run trust for the building of a temple and Muslims will be given a five-acre "suitable" plot in the town, the Supreme Court announced today in a landmark verdict in a religious and political flashpoint that has cast a shadow over the country for decades. The five-judge constitution bench de...

The disputed land in Ayodhya belongs entirely to the deity Ram Lalla or infant Lord Ram, the Supreme Court said on Saturday in a landmark verdict that paves the way for a temple at the site claimed by both Hindus and Muslims for decades. A five-judge constitution bench also ruled that a "prominent site" in the holy town in Uttar Pradesh will be all...

Ayodhya verdict comes after a century-old legal battle over a piece of land in Ayodhya where the 16th century Babri mosque stood before it was razed by Hindu activists who believe it is the birthplace of Lord Ram.

The Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) said there was a structure underneath the mosque but did not specify what it was, the Supreme Court said today as it read out a "unanimous" verdict in the Ayodhya temple-mosque dispute, a religious and political flashpoint that has cast a shadow on the country for decades. The disputed structure was not bui...

Seventy years after the first court case was filed in the dispute post-Independence, the Supreme Court today delivered a landmark verdict in the Babri Masjid-Ram Janambhoomi title suit.

Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Badal, a key ally of the ruling BJP, made controversial comments on the Babri mosque razing and the 1984 Operation Bluestar.

In a 60-second hearing today, the Supreme Court deferred the Ayodhya temple-mosque case and said a bench would decide on January 10 when to take up the case. The decision on the title suit, pending for six decades and at the heart of India's most politically divisive row, comes amid demands to speed up the plan to build a Ram temple at the site whe...

The Hindutva dream of constructing a Ram Temple at the site of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya is yet to be realised, but BJP parliamentarian Sakshi Maharaj has come up with a new rallying cry in the run-up the Lok Sabha elections: Demolish Delhi's Jama Masjid because it has been constructed on the remains of a Hindu temple.

As right-wing organisations like the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and Hindu activists prep for a massive gathering in Ayodhya over the weekend to mount pressure on the government for a Ram temple at the site of the razed Babri mosque, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has urged the Supreme Court to send the army, if necessary, to ke...
