Thirty years after the destruction of a mosque constructed by Babar on the site of Lord Ram’s birth shook Ayodhya and the rest of the nation, the temple town seems to be recovering from the unrest, a protracted legal dispute, and a long-standing dispute over historical accuracy. A mob of karsevaks (religious workers) destroyed the 16th-century mosque on December 6, 1992, as the long-simmering conflict gained momentum in the late 1980s.
Anger and frustration that had been repressed boiled in Ayodhya. Two of the religious leaders—Mahant Ram Chandra Paramhans and Mahant Nrit Gopal Das—were subjected to a barrage of irate questioning when hundreds of kar sevaks stormed the Maniram Chavani. The chants grew more ominous amid Ayodhya’s winding, tiny streets. If a Hindu’s blood doesn’t boil, it’s water, not blood, as the proverb goes: “Jis Hindu ka khoon na khaula, khoon nahin woh paani hai.”We are all aware of what transpired in the hours that followed and how things developed.
The Supreme Court didn’t resolve the case until late 2019 when it ruled in favour of a temple at the site, declared that destroying the mosque was illegal, and requested that property be allocated elsewhere in Ayodhya for a new mosque.
By 2024, it is anticipated that the temple’s construction would be finished and open to visitors. Development images of the area are all over the internet.
