Babri

Babri is a village located in the district of Faizabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. It is situated on the banks of the Ganges River and is known for its historical and religious significance. The village is home to the Babri Masjid, a mosque that was constructed in 1528 by the Mughal emperor Babur. The mosque was later expanded by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb in the 17th century.

In 1992, the Babri Masjid was demolished by a mob of Hindu nationalists, leading to widespread protests and violence. The demolition sparked a long-standing dispute between Hindus and Muslims in India, with each community claiming the site as their own. The dispute has been a contentious issue in Indian politics and has been the subject of numerous legal battles and court cases.

The site of the Babri Masjid is now a matter of dispute, with Hindus claiming it as the birthplace of the Hindu god Rama and Muslims claiming it as a sacred mosque. The dispute has led to numerous protests and violence, and the issue remains a sensitive and divisive topic in India.
