Opening of Hindu temple in Ayodhya stirs bitter memories for India’s muslims | BBC News

Published

on



India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fulfilling a promise to Hindu nationalists with the opening of a vast new temple in the northern city of Ayodhya.

But for India’s Muslims it evokes bitter memories of sectarian violence and bloodshed. More than 30 years ago Hindu rioters pulled down the historic mosque that had stood on the site in Ayodhya.
In the violence that spread across India thousands of people lost their lives. It marked a turning point in independent India’s transformation from a secular state, with the rise of militant Hindu nationalism.

The opening of the new temple by Mr Modi marks the start of his re-election campaign, as he appeals to India’s Hindu majority to back him for a third term in office.

Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Yogita Limaye in Ayodhya.

    BBC stop playing games. Go to history and see Hindus never tried to invade other country like you. They fought to claim what was there’s in first place in Ayodhya. Stop playing this tricks divide and rule it’s too old fashion now😂😂😂😂

    I don't understand why the BBC only presents partial information about the ongoing religious divisions between Muslims and Hindus in India, which originated from the actions of British colonizers and white supremacists years ago and still today. The Babri Mosque was constructed by Mughal commander Mir Baqi during the reign of the first Mughal king, Babur and before that, stood a Hindu temple on the same land that was forcibly demolished. All the evidence was presented to the Supreme Court in India, and a decision was reached. I believe disagreement with this decision implies a lack of trust in the Indian judicial system and this one sided narrative seems to reflect a extreme Marxist perspective.

    BBC is always trying to show India and Hindus in poor light. BBC should wake up. They just hate India progressing. For everything they try to paint India as non secular.

    The Babri Masjid that was torn down was built on a Hindu temple that was demolished by Babar to build the mosque. This was proven in a SC case wherein remains of Hindu temple were shown. So how can you justify mosques built on other people's temples or churches.

    I can feel sympathy for the predicament of the modern Indian Muslims,
    but the fact remains: the original Hindu temple was destroyed by ancient Muslims centuries ago, and a mosque built on its ruins.
    If you don't like people knocking down your mosques, don't build them on other people's holy sites.

Is the world giving up on the US dollar? | The Global Story

Published

on



America’s national debt recently hit a new milestone of $40 trillion. It is estimated that interest payments on the national debt are now the second largest expense in the US government budget, trailing only Social Security. How was the US able to borrow so much and for so long? One answer, according Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff, is the US dollar’s status as the world’s reserve currency.

In this episode, Rogoff – former Chief Economist at the International Monetary Fund – explains how the US dollar came to enjoy this hegemonic status, what being the world’s reserve currency actually means in practice, and why he believes the dollar is now in decline.

Published

on



President Volodymr Zelensky has appealed to Germany to supply Ukraine with tanks, as leaders meet to discuss further aid.

Defence leaders from a number of Nato members are meeting at the US air base in Ramstein, Germany to discuss sending further aid ahead of an anticipated Spring offensive by Russia.

Germany is under increasing pressure from other countries to supply its Leopard 2 tanks to Ukraine, as the UK prepares to send a dozen Challenger 2 tanks.

“If you have Leopard [tanks], then give them to us, these leopards won’t go through Russia. We’re defending ourselves.”, he told public TV in Germany.
