		Many Hindus believe the birthplace of Rama to be in Ayodhya at the place called Ram Janmabhoomi, the site of the demolished Babri Mosque.
		Ayodhya is also the centre of the Ayodhya Debate concerning the Ram Janmabhoomi temple and the Babri Mosque.
		The mosque was destroyed in 1992 by Kar Sevaks and rioters due to the belief that the Ram Janmabhoomi existed prior to the mosque's construction and that the temple was the birthplace of Rama.

		It is on this undisputed land only that the VHP is proposing to commence construction, stating that it is necessary to fulfill the aspirations of billions of people as Central government has not returned the undisputed land, as indicated by the Court, though eight years are over from the date of judgment.

		Ram Janmabhoomi (राम जन्मभूमि) refers to a tract of land in the North Indian city of Ayodhya which is believed to be the birthplace of the Rama.
		The name Ram Janmabhoomi means "birthplace of Rama." Till December 6 1992, there physically existed a Disputed Structure claimeded as Babri Masjid (The Mosque of Babur) by Muslims and Ram Mandir by Hindus on this spot which was demolished by activists.
		In 1984, a movement is started for the creation of Ram Janmabhoomi temple in place of Disputed Structure by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) and its political arm the Bharatiya Janata Party, under the leadership of L K Advani.

		In general terms, the main georadar features detected by the present survey are âanomaly alignmentsâ across the main platform, north and south of the sanctum sanctorum extending to the Ram Chabutra area, the high amplitude âringy sequenceâ towards the south and the mound structures to the east.
		In the Ram Chabutra area, the crossing patterns of those alignments and the different stratigraphic units from where they emerge suggest that they belong to successive construction periods rather than being contemporary to one another.
		The ringy and high amplitude sequence in the southern portion of the Ram Chabutra area extends across the fences to the east to the main platform area to cover a rather large area.

		New Delhi: Hardening his stand amidst efforts by Kanchi Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati to solve the Ayodhya issue, Ram Janmabhoomi Trust chief Mahant Ramchandra Paramhans on June 22 said he would not accept any formula proposed by any religious or political leader except construction of a temple at the place where Lord Ram was born.
		The Ram Janmabhoomi Trust chief, however, rejected having a temple and a mosque constructed side- by-side as reportedly proposed by the Shankaracharya in a letter to the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB).
		The Mahant said the Ram Janmabhoomi issue was close to his heart and he would not allow anyone to bargain on it.

		The fact that this structure was built after displacing the holy Hindu shrine of Ram Janmabhoomi, existing on the site believed by the Hindus to be the birthplace of Ram, and therefore held specially sacred by them, rests on a mass of literary, historical, archaeological and judicial evidence.
		There are numerous accounts that prove the continued celebration of Ram Navami festival at this place with great gatherings of people, and bitterness between Hindus and Muslims over the former's attempts to take over the place, leading to several disputes and clashes in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries.
		It is, therefore, clear that the evidence of the pillar-bases, the pillars and the glazed wares is conclusively in favour of the thesis that a temple has existed on the "Janmabhoomi" from the 11th through the 15th century, and that it was destroyed in the 16th century, to which period the "Babri Masjid" belongs.

	The tragedy of Ayodhya
		The close co-relation among the routes of Ram Shila Puja, the communal violence of September-October, and the electoral gains made by the BJP in the 1989 elections is clear.
		The issue of whether Ayodhya was the birthplace of Ram, and whether the mosque was built over the temple, has left many historians preoccupied - some eminent, others trying to build their political fortunes by trying to establish the authenticity of the belief.
		The Ram Janmabhoomi became a symbol of resurgent nationhood, the concrete spatial indication of the new Hindu nation, and the icon of militant Hindu nationalism intent on recovering its patrimony.

		Of the 71 acres of land near the Garbh Griha, 41 acres belongs to the Ram Janmabhoomi Nyaas.

	Is the Ram Janmabhoomi movement anti-Muslim? Ashok Chowgule
		The Ram Janmabhoomi movement is the most important event of the post-independence era of India.
		This is because the Babri structure, supposed to be a place of worship for the Muslims, was sought to be shifted and a temple for Lord Ram was to be built in its place.
		If the Ram Janmabhoomi movement has woken them up to what Hinduism is all about, then that itself will be the biggest gain of the movement.

		The same arguement is also being advanced by VHP people that there is no proof whether Shri Ram Janmabhoomi was at this spot or not but in matters of religion, proof is not important, but people’s faith or belief is important for which no proof is required.
		Ram’s temples had definitely appeared in some places (in some cities of Madhya Pradesh) of India in the twelfth century but the construction of Ram Mandirs had not yet started in UP and specially in Ayodhya till the end of seventeenth century.
		The oldest Ram temple in Ayodhya is the ‘Kanak Bhawan’ or ‘Kanak Mandap’ of mid-eighteenth century.

	Ayodhya and After - Chapter 5 - Ram Janmabhoomi Politics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-08-12)
		The centuries-old struggle over the Babri Masjid - Ram Janmabhoomi came in a critical phase on November 9, 1989, when the first stone of the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir was laid, in a grand Shilanyas ceremony.
		The propensity to indulge in silly and reprehensible rumours is of course encouraged by the stress on emotionalism (quite different from the normal Hindu cool) and the lack of factual information and ideological education of which the Ram Janmabhoomi movement has suffered on some occasions.
		No matter who would lay the actual bricks of the Ram Mandir, the credit for that change of mood in favour of the Mandir certainly goes to the Ram Bhaktas who were there in Ayodhya in the autumn of 1990.

		The material object of the controversy is quite small: an unimpressive mosque-structure on a hilltop in Ayodhya, the town traditionally considered as the birth place of the protohistorical hero Ram.
		Many Hindus believe that Ram was born on the very spot where Babar's mosque is standing.
