The 1992 Babri Masjid demolition in Ayodhya and the decades-long Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri masjid land dispute are perhaps the most polarising flashpoints in the history of contemporary India.

The court also noted that the destruction of the 16th-century mosque had happened in breach of the apex court's orders and that placing an idol inside the mosque in 1949 which amounted to the desecration of the mosque was against the law.바카라 웹사이트
