History

Historical Context

The 1992 demolition of the 16th-century Babri Masjid in Ayodhya by VHP and BJP supporters sparked riots that killed roughly 2,000 people and prompted the Liberhan Commission (set up 16 December 1992) and long-running court battles, culminating in the 2019 Supreme Court verdict handing the site to a Hindu trust. Delhi’s High Court rulings on journalists and the Race Course Masjid now echo that judicial legacy.
