Ayodhya Conflict

The Ayodhya conflict centers on a religious site in India believed by Hindus to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, where a mosque called Babri Masjid was built in the 16th century. Hindus claim the site was formerly a temple destroyed to build the mosque. Over decades, tensions and disputes led to protests, violence, and a Supreme Court case. In 2019, the Court sided with Hindus, ordering the land be given for a temple, while allocating alternative land for a mosque. The conflict underscores complex religious and historical claims, emphasizing the importance of legal resolution and harmony.
