Ayodhya Verdict

The Ayodhya Verdict refers to the 2019 Supreme Court of India decision regarding a disputed religious site in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. The court ruled that the land, claimed by both Hindus and Muslims, should be handed over to a trust for building a Hindu temple, while granting Muslims an alternative 5-acre site for a mosque. This verdict aimed to resolve a long-standing conflict over the Babri Masjid, which was demolished in 1992 by Hindu activists. The decision was significant in addressing religious sentiments and aimed to promote peace and harmony while recognizing the historical complexities of the site.
