Ram Mandir Rumble: Who stands where?

The building of a Ram temple on the disputed site of the Babri Masjid, torn down by karsevaks in 1992, will be a crucial part of the narrative of the upcoming general election.

The Masjid sat on a site believed by millions of Hindus to be the birthplace, or "janmabhoomi" of Lord Ram, the hero of the epic Ramayan.

Over 1.5 lakh people were involved in the Babri Masjid's demolition. The kar sevaks had converged as part of a movement by BJP and Hindu outfits for a Ram temple at the disputed site.

Around 2,000 people were killed across India in riots that followed the demolition.

The Ram Janmbhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit is now pending in the Supreme Court, which will decide the schedule of hearing today.
