On August 5, 2020 the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi laid a 40-kg silver brick to begin the construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya, on the site of the Babri Masjid mosque, demolished on December 6, 1992. This was the result of a verdict of the Indian Supreme Court happened just few months after Modi reconfirmation as leader of the most populous democracy in the world, in which the historical site of Ayodhya was assigned to the Hindus and not to Muslims. That decision, apart from allowing Narendra Modi to bring home another result and maintained an election promise, was supposed to put an end to a controversy that lasted over ten-years, and that has caused the death of over 2000 people, influencing deeply the relations in the country between the Hindu and Muslim communities.
This is the last step in one of the most controversial aspects of contemporary Indian history, represented by the events that led to the destruction of Babri mosque on December 6, 1992 in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. On that occasion, thousands of "kar sevaks", Hindu militants associated with far-right movements, razed the mosque to the ground to build, or “rebuild”, a Ram temple over it, in the same site believed to be the birthplace of the god Ram. That was one of the events that contributed to the division of the Hindu and Muslim communities in the country; a country that, at the same time, makes unity in diversity one of its main mottoes.
Is this the epilogue of the story?
