Babri mosque: The build-up to a demolition that shook India

only if muslim side agree :)
anyway I was expecting some beautiful temple like swaminarayan ones.. made from stones.. not some ugly brick temple.. isse to masjid hee sahi tha... lol...

No offense to your carefully shielded religious sensibilities, but the Masjid that was brought down was extremely decrepit and ugly.

Regardless, we are not vying for architectural honours here.

I'd be happy to see a simple wood Mandir there too. Himachali style.

It's symbolism. And one that must be gone through with.

It was ugly. Personal taste in architecture I guess.

Just to put things into perspective though. It would have been brought down even if it was Jama Masjid.

You do not play games with the sentiments of a billion people and not expect pushback.

The use of force that happened on that day paled significantly when looked against the backdrop of the force that happened for centuries before that.

I'm 500% with our Hindus on Ram mandir.

And will be there to lay the first bricks with my own hands.

Cheers, Doc

Yeah the force used by the Aryans on the local people of subcontinent was way worse ...
Please don't think that only the Muslims when came were invaders . Next maybe you should start destroying British monuments constructed..

Well, the Aryans became Hindus.

Would be pretty stupid destroying your own stuff.

Oh how secular india is which does not consider the Muslim population as part of its social fabric...
For a country such as diverse as India pluralism is a must for its social fabric to function and if the masses have a mindset such like you i is doomed from the start and in the end the whole indian society as a whole will crumble slowly...

More than you pad...
India has been built upon the foundation of secularism where religion is excluded from civil affairs..
Well i understand the point that countries with a diverse population such as Pakistan and india need to create a pluralistic environment for its people...

@livingdead I will try to explain why is it important for Ram Temple to be built

For years Hindus were forced to feel ashamed of our culture and practices. We were looked down as week. the politicians pandered to the minorities for vote bank politics.

Ayodhya, Varanasi and Mathura are 3 of the holiest sites of Hinduism Equivalent to Vatican and Jeruselum for Christians or Mecca and Medina for Muslims. In each of these sites there were grand temples which were destroyed by Mughals and Mosques built in there places. It is 70 years after Independence and in a Hindu Majority country (80% Hindu Population) no temples have been restored on these sites. In 1992 the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya was destroyed by angry Hindus but the temple was not built. The case is still dragging through the courts. Only the BJP has promised to build the Ram Temple. All other so called "secular" political parties are denigrating Hindus saying why do you want a temple there?

India is constitutionally a Secular country, but in this Secular nation different religions have their own laws. Till just a few weeks ago a Muslim man could legally divorce his wife just by saying the word Talaq (Divorce) 3 times. It is the BJP which is pushing for a Uniform Civil Code (UCC) which means same laws for all irrespective of religion. Irony is that UCC is basis of secularism and the secular parties are opposing it tooth and nail while a so called communal party is working towards it.

If in a Hindu Majority country if we are not able to build a Ram Temple in the birthplace of Lord Ram where else will we build it Lahore or Mecca?

Hindus have been super patient. They waited for 100's of years of Mughal and British Rule. Even after Independence it has been 70 years and we are still waiting for the temple. If Hindu's don't get their rights in India they won't get them anywhere else.

Lets take a hypothetical example. there was a mosque which was destroyed by some Hindu king and a temple built in its place. For centuries the muslims were not having their own rule. Once they got their own rule do you think they would still be waiting for 70 years to rebuild that mosque.
