Demolition of Babri Masjid Sparks Riots

December 6th, 1992 32 years ago

The Babri Masjid, a mosque located in Ayodhya, India, was demolished by a large group of Hindu activists who claimed it was built on the birthplace of Lord Ram. This act led to nationwide riots, marked by violence and communal strife, resulting in the deaths of over 1,500 people in the ensuing chaos across various regions in India. The demolition quickly escalated tensions between Hindu and Muslim communities, and the subsequent unrest included widespread destruction of property and numerous clashes with law enforcement.
