The ruling paves the way for Hindus to build a temple at the site where the Babri Mosque once stood, but many worry the decision will raise sectarian tensions.

It's a weird thing to violently rip apart another religion's 500-year-old place of worship, start riots afterwards that kill 2000 people across the country, and then have the courts award THEIR land to you. Literally get rewarded for violence and destruction.

I can't imagine it going any other way though. Everyone already saw this verdict coming a mile away.

fukk that's a dumb move. Didn't they learn anything from the Mumbai riots? Made the LA riots look like a damn picnic back in 1993 shyt is only going to be worse now with social media and fake news whatsapp forwards fanning the flames

I dunno, shyt seems pretty chill so far. My Muslim friends there are basically saying the verdict was exactly what they expected and some of them even saying it's a best case scenario in the long run cause Hindus would have rioted like motherfukkers if they didn't get the land and unlike the Muslims they have government backing. Most of the mob violence in recent decades has come from the majority, and if the minority does do anything they know it's just gonna come back five times worse.

@Rhakim is there a campaign to replace mosques with hindu temples?

If it was originally a hindu temple as some claimed why did the hindus destroy it?

There's a law that says you can destroy a religious structure if you can prove another structure was there first, even if the current structure was 500+ years old and no one remembers the original structure at all. The law is clearly meant to favour Hindus since they are much older in India than Muslims. It's just a dumb law when you think about it, because there's a temple in every third house, but if some family decided to convert to Islam or Christianity or anything else and takes down their temple, someone else centuries later can use that temple to claim priority. So yes, some Hindus abuse that law to try to replace any non-Hindu structure they can, especially prominent ones.

In this case, no one really knows if there was an original temple or when it was there or what happened to it. There were some rumours but they came centuries afterwards. There's even s controversy over whether that mosque was built around 1500 or further back in the 1200s, and we know even less about what came before it.
