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.

    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.

Ukraine accuses Putin of breaking promise to Trump with airstrikes on infrastructure | BBC News

Published

on



Russia and Ukraine launched air attacks that damaged each other’s infrastructure, just hours after Vladimir Putin said Russia would stop targeting Ukrainian energy sites.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said Russia’s targets included hospitals. He said the Russian leader had in effect rejected a comprehensive ceasefire in his phone talks with US President Donald Trump.

Putin told Trump a full ceasefire would only work if Ukraine’s allies stopped giving military assistance – a condition Ukraine’s European allies have previously rejected.

Officials in the southern Russian region of Krasnodar said that a Ukrainian drone attack sparked a small fire at an oil depot. Within hours of Putin agreeing to halt attacks on energy infrastructure, Zelensky said there had been “hits, specifically on civilian infrastructure”, including a hospital in Sumy.

The region’s government posted footage of the destruction, in which smoke can be seen rising from the caved-in hospital wing. Officials have since said that there had been no casualties.

Russian state media has reported the Trump-Putin phone call as a victory for their country, with President Putin rejecting calls for a 30-day ceasefire and restating previous conditions.

At least 13 people have reportedly been killed in air strikes across Gaza overnight, after Israel said it was resuming combat operations in the Palestinian territory.

Two civilians were killed and five others injured when an Israeli drone hit a tent near the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone, the Palestinian Wafa news agency reports, citing Red Crescent medics.

Israel’s army said it had targeted what it called a Hamas military site from where the group was preparing to fire into Israel. Vessels controlled by Hamas were also hit, the army said.
