Read our privacy policy India’s Supreme Court has ordered that the disputed site where a mosque was torn down in 1992 should be handed over to the government for the construction of a Hindu temple. The judges came to a unanimous verdict, after many decades of dispute and, at times, deadly riots over the Ayodhya site that once housed the Babri Masjid mosque. Many Hindus believe that the Ayodhya site is the birthplace of the deity Lord Ram, and say the mosque was built in the 16th century over an ancient temple marking the spot. In their judgment, the Supreme Court justices found in favour of Ram Lalla Virajman, the child deity worshipped by Hindus at the site, and ordered the government to – within three months – set up a trust tasked with managing the site on the deity’s behalf.
