	Babri Mosque - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Babri is an important mosque of a distinct style, preserved mainly in architecture, developed after the Delhi Sultanate was established (1192).
		The Babri Masjid was a mixture of the local influence and the Western Asian style and examples of this type of mosque are common in India.
		The earliest suggestion that the Babri Masjid is in proximity to the birthplace of Ram was made by the Jesuit priest Joseph Tieffenthaler, whose work in French was published in Berlin in 1788.

		The Babri Mosque issue is central to understanding the Hindu militant revivalism and militancy that has left thousands dead in India in the last 50 years.
		Babri Masjid is a three-dome mosque structure in Faizabad/Ayodhya which was established in 1526 by Babar.
		Almost 40 years later, Babri Masjid resurfaced as a symbol of militant Hindu revivalism, as groups representing this dangerous ideology, which seeks to exclude non-Hindus from the vision of a "Mother India", launched a movement for its restoration.

		After a major armed struggle between the Hindu priests who occupied the Masjid and Muslims who sought to liberate it, the elders decided that both the communities should be allowed to worship at the same place.
		A suit is filed by local resident Gopal Singh Visharad asking for unrestricted access to the Babri Masjid and preventing the state officials and Muslims from removing the idols.

	Ayodhya and After - Chapter 1 - Summary Of The Historical Question
		Since the actual practice in the case of the Babri Masjid conforms to this general pattern, we may infer that in all probability the Masjid was built in the same material circumstances in which the pattern normally applied, viz.
		In order to save their contention that the Babri Masjid was not built on a Hindu place of worship (let alone a specially sacred place), several Babarwadis have resorted to questioning the validity of the documents attesting the Hindu worship in the Masjid courtyard during the period of Muslim rule.
		Thus, in postulating that the Babri Masjid was built on empty land, they implicitly postulate that the Ayodhya people for some reason made an exception to the custom of building something important on the place which by its elevation was the place of honour in their city.

	The excesses of secularism
		In the case of the Babri masjid, no Islamic, ruler had any business to build a masjid in what was considered a holy place of the Hindus, any more than any Hindu ruler (happily there never was any such) could have had to build a temple in Mecca or Medina.
		The issue of the Babri masjid has been festering for over a century and the sad part of it, all is that the Muslim community never showed the grace to concede that a deep and needless hurt had been caused to Hindu sentiment, that needed to be assuaged.
		Even then the VHP was willing for the dismantling-not destruction-of the Babri masjid and it could have been done both to the credit of Muslim and Hindu leadership if -only Muslims had shown a sense of grace which, it has been said, is the hallmark of Islam.

	Babri Masjid - Temple Dispute: Where was Rama Born? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		On the question whether Babri Masjid stands at the site of the alleged Ram Janam Bhoomi temple, it is to be noted the renowned historian and son of former president Sarvepally Radhakrishnan, Prof.
		Therefore the argument that the fl pillars of Babri Masjid are Kasauti pillars of the Vikramaditya temple failed the carbon-dating test and proved to be wrong.
		Finding that their claim regarding Babri Masjid cannot stand historical test and archaeological scrutiny, the protagonists of the Ram Janam Bhoomi temple say that Ram by miraculous appearance had himself disclosed his place of birth.

	Ram Janmabhoomi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1949, it is claimed that idols of Lord Ram appeared in the Babri Masjid miraculously, allegedly placed there by Hindus.
		This record reveals that Aurengzeb demolished the Ramkot fortress; that either he, or Babar constructed a Masjid there; the 12 columns of fl stone pillars were brought from Lanka; and when veneration of Rama became prevalent after the 17th century, a small rectangular mud platform was built to mark the birthplace of Rama.
		Mirza Jan wrote in 1856 that “a lofty mosque has been built by badshah Babar” on “the original birthplace of Rama”, so that “where there was a big temple, a big mosque was constructed, and where there was a small temple, a small mosque was constructed”.

	Ayodhya and After - Chapter 4 - Ram Janmabhoomi and the courts
		Incidentally, it seems that the name Babri Masjid became the official term from this report onwards, as before it was mostly referred to as Masjid-i Janmasthan.
		There have certainly been individual Muslims offering namaz in the Babri Masjid in the forties, but from the available evidence it seems that it was not a regular mosque functioning as the real community centre of the local Muslims.
		The Babri Masjid groups have opposed this stand and demanded that the VHP abide by the Court verdict.

	The Jamaat-e-Islami Hind is an ideological and principled organisation. It has been working in India for more than last ...
		The Jamaat Secretary-General said the remarks made on the demolition of Babri Masjid that it is an expression of “national feelings” and is “yet to be completed” are indeed untrue and baseless.
		Kalyan Singh in Bhopal that and enquiry would be instituted into the happenings of October 31 (Thursday) when certain Kar Sewaks stormed the Babri Masjid and hoisted saffron flags on the three domes besides damaging its outer wall and that the culprits would be punished.
		The Jamaat condemns this desecration of the mosque in unequivocal terms and calls upon the U.P.State Government to enquire into the circumstances leading to the withdrawal of the CRPF and the desecration of the sacred place with the connivance of the Faizabad district authorities.

	Babri Masjid
		Bharati in her several turns at the microphone gave the crowds two slogans, 'Ram nam satya hai, Babri Masjid dhvasth hai,' (True is the name of Ram; the Babri Masjid has been demolished) and 'Ek dhakka aur do, Babri masjid tod do' (Give one more push, and break the Babri Masjid).
		By the time the last of the domes of the Babri Masjid came crashing down at 5.45 pm, scattered spirals of smoke could be seen at a distance.
		When I asked him what he would do if ever the Babri Masjid was demolished, the Haji, well into his 90s, replied without any trace of emotion, "hamne to abhi se apna kafan kharid liya hai." The tragedy is that the rest of the Muslims of Ayodhya are now preparing to do the same.

	RAM JANMBHOOMI/BABRI MASJID AT AYODHYA
		As we approach the 'Babri Mosque', located at the site popularly called 'Ram Janmabhoomi' we see a simple and modest structure with three domes, the central one bigger than the two side ones, It is surrounded by two high-rising walls, running parallel to each other with large open space in between.
		I.4- The walls of the Babri Mosque are made of coars-grained whitish sandstone blocks, rectangular in shape, while the domes are made of thin and small burnt bricks, Both these structural items are plastered with thick chunam paste mixed with coarse sand.
		In the so-called 'Babri Mosque', built in the 16th centure (1528 A.D.-1530 A.D.), there are at least 14 stone pillars of a pre-existing structure.

	The Babri Masjid dispute
		The Babri Masjid is a mosque in Ayodhya, in the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India.
		In the best medieval traditions, the mosque was built on the foundations of a razed Hindu temple, which is believed to mark the spot of the birth of Rama, hero of the Ramayana, one of -- and the less philosophical of -- the two Hindu epics.
		However stupid it may be, the Babri problem will remain a central issue of Indian politics for a long, long time.

	Asia Times - After Babri, a new battle unearthed
		Supporters of the BJP, which first came to power in 1998 by whipping up majority Hindu sentiment, insist that the Babri masjid was built by Babar, founder of the Moghul empire, over the remains of temple marking the site where the mythical Hindu warrior deity Rama was born some 10,000 years ago.
		Earlier in June, Shankaracharya proposed a peace formula under which the Babri masjid site would be handed over to a government-appointed committee and a temple to Ram be built at the site, in return for which claims by the VHP to the sites at Mathura and Varanasi would be given up.
		But the All-India Babri Masjid Action Committee (AIBMAC) reacted adversely to the proposal made by Shankaracharya, believed to be acting as an emissary of Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee.

		now, if the babri masjid had been destroyed before 1948, it might have been justified, but not after it, cuz after it, we were secular, it was our responsibility to not antagonize the minorities of our country.
		4/8/2004 1:24:31 AM The babri masjid dispute is a constructed debate; premised on a view of unending hindu-muslim conflict that is based on some pretty iffy sources; actually, pretty much a colonial view of history, appropriated by the "cultural nationalists" on both sides.
		as for the babri masjid issue, apart from a few muslims, almost all feel that it'll be ridiculous to ask for a babri masjid with stains of bloods of thousands.(both hindus and muslims) go on, build ur temple.

		The Supreme Court had banned construction not only at the Babri Masjid site but also at the adjoining Sunni Waqf land, 67 acres of which was acquired by government a decade ago.
		Under a law passed shortly after the Babri demolition in 1992, the status of a place of worship at the time of independence in August 1947 is inviolable.
		The Babri Masjid, a 16th century mosque in the north Indian town of Ayodhya, was demolished by an agitated mob of Hindus on December 6, 1992 as the country’s top BJP leaders, including the present deputy prime minister LK Advani and his senior cabinet colleagues, watched approvingly.

	Demolishers in the Dock: Babri Masjid demolition case
		A hard-hitting order of the Special Court [of India] dealing with the Babri Masjid demolition case permits conspiracy and other charges to be filed against L.K. Advani, Bal Thackeray and other Hindutva leaders.
		The Special Judge's conclusions are based on the facts of the exchange of letters between leaders of the Hindutva combine and the Shiv Sena, meetings between them, statements issued by these leaders and their speeches in public meetings, which were corroborated by witnesses, as well as on actions taken by the Kalyan Singh Government.
		The order agrees with the prosecution's contention that the objective of the conspiracy was to demolish the Babri Masjid and remove the plaque put up at the structure by Babar's lieutenant Mir Baqi.

		Hindu extremists razed the 16th century mosque claiming that the mosque was built on the site where their mythological god-king Rama was born.
		Moreover, unless neutral and highly professional experts are involved in the digging, results could be faked under the current federal administration whose senior ministers were personally involved in the mosque demolition.
		There are historians who say the entire town of Ayodhya (where Babri Masjid stood) was settled by Buddhists, not Hindus, and the town had a large number of Buddha viharas (Buddhist shrines).
