There will probably be more religious violence over this. It doesnโ€™t matter which country or time, when one religion becomes dominant it suppresses all the others (and they always go after atheists).

PM Narendra Modi lays the foundation of the controversial Ram temple in Ayodhya
The prime minister formally launched the construction of a temple at Ayodhya, where Hindus believe Lord Ram was born. He also unveiled the plaque of the temple.

Why is the Ram Temple controversial?
- In November 2019, the top court ruled that the disputed land would be handed over to a govt-run trust for the construction of a temple
- Previously, it was claimed by both Hindus and Muslims
- In 1992, a group demolished a 400-year-old mosque on the site, sparking riots that left nearly 2,000 dead
- The ceremony on Wednesday marks the culmination of a political campaign by the Bharatiya Janata Party, for a temple to be built on the spot โ€” The Indian Express
