9. Ayodhya and the Supreme Court (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Hindus believe that the site of the building is Rama’s birthplace, and maintain that a Hindu temple adorned the site until, in 1528 at the latest, Muslims forcibly replaced it with a mosque. |
 | | Some RSS leaders have repeatedly claimed that the Rama-Janmabhoomi site should be left to the Hindus out of respect for the “faith” of the Hindu masses in the tradition that Rama was born at that very site. |
