...Meerut were acquitted, while 23 accused have left this world and 30 accused are missing, against whom the trial will continue. The prosecution failed to produce sufficient evidence before the court, due to which benefit of doubt was given to the accused. #muslimsinindia
It took 36 years for the court to pronounce the verdict i.e. those who were accused in youth were acquitted in old age and children whose parents were killed have crossed puberty. Their families still await even the first glimmer of justice. #MalianaMassacre #IndianSupremeCourt

Things that changed in 🇮🇳 w Ram Janmabhoomi Movt/#Ayodhya/#BabriMasjid Demolition, a thread 🧵:
1. Daily, yearlong RW propaganda from the 80s onwards finally made most Hindu school kids esp in Hindi belt communal. 90s saw an increase in slurs & discrimination against Muslim kids

2. Post Kargil War, post-Godhra and pogrom, the victim community was blamed simply for their identity and targetting in all spheres of life escalated further.
3. Interfaith couples became unsafe on a larger scale than ever before.

Just after his victory in the 1984 elections, #RajivGandhi faced his first big challenge. On 23rd April 1985, the Supreme Court ordered the ex-husband of a Muslim woman from Indore, Shah Bano, to pay her maintenance under Section 125 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC). 1/13
Shah Bano's ex-husband Mohammed Ahmad Khan had argued in the Madhya Pradesh High Court, that under Islamic Law, he had paid his divorced wife three months' maintenance, and he wasn't obliged to pay any more. 2/13

But the apex court maintained that "there is no conflict between the provisions of Section 125 and those of the Muslim Personal Law on the question of a Muslim husband's obligation to provide maintenance for a divorced wife who is unable to maintain herself". 3/13

2️⃣ #BJP’s political quest for the Babri Masjid only began in the late 1980s. In #Karnataka, the ground to reclaim Baba Budangiri, a Sufi shrine in #Chikamagalur district, had been laid a decade before #Ayodhya became common parlance, in 1978.

3️⃣ In 1990, when L.K. Advani’s ‘Rath Yatra’ passed through #Karnataka, seven people died in Bidar in communal riots. But 600 km away, in and around #Bangalore, at least another 33 people died in clashes in 5 locations. It was not an accident.

A firm satyagrahi, he continued serving his country long after independence by participating in any cause that mattered to masses. Having donated all his 14 acres of land to the Bhoodan movement, his most cherished possesions are photos of him in Mahatma Gandhi's protest marches.
He was part of a vanishing tribe of countless rural Indians who sacrificed much for India’s freedom."I was more seva dal than Satta dal,"says the gentle old man,smiling, as the many sacrifices for an idea of India sit lightly on his shoulders.ruralindiaonline.org/articles/nine-…

#BabriMasjid dispute would have been resolved much more amicably if Indian "seculars" did not falsify history to whitewash Islamic iconoclasm. This promoted Muslim victimhood rather than a spirit of remorse.

The reason Islamists like #AIMPLB/Owaisi are upset at the #RamTemple is that it is a setback for Islamic expansionism. That even after 500 years dharma rises.
That is what the wailing is about. And Indian "seculars"? They're simply #JihadCoolies.

There is overwhelming evidence for Ram Temple, both archeological and textual. Here Tulsidas' poem documents its destruction, complete with dates. The destruction happened while Tulsidas was alive. One can barely imagine the pain it would have caused him.

Hearing unconfirmed reports that ad agency for Nasdaq has pulled out of deal to display grotesque billboard featuring laying of foundation stone of #RamMandir by #Modi atop ruins of #BabriMasjid he conspired to destroy. More as I hear it. Hope for the best.
Updated reports suggest that @BrandedCities, one of three companies that sold billboard space for celebration of #BabriMasjid destruction, has pulled out. @Disney and @CCOutdoorNA billboards, reportedly, remain sold.
@BrandedCities confirmed the decision to not run the advertisements. The company “also reassured that [they] oppose the demolition of #BabriMasjid & will never allow any supremacist groups to run their ads”.

Also, the role of political parties has been instrumental.
While BJP, as vidharmis always said "Tareekh nahi batayenge" never gave a date yet amidst all the criticism even from patrons about it just being votebank topic; clinged firmly & believe it or not, strengthened cause.(2)

The Babri Masjid was probably built in 1528 by a general of Babur. At the time, it likely wasn’t a big deal. Babur doesn’t even mention it in his memoirs.
Babri Masjid may have been built over temple ruins, but, owing to bad and politicised archaeology, we aren’t sure.
If it was built on temple ruins, they could be Jain, Hindu, or Buddhist in origin. They also could’ve been ruins for hundreds of years by the 1520s (or not).
