Ayodhya holds an important place in Indian politics due to its association with the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute, which has been one of the most controversial and polarizing issues in the country for decades.

The dispute revolves around a plot of land in Ayodhya, which Hindus consider to be the birthplace of Lord Rama, one of the most revered figures in Hindu mythology. However, in the 16th century, the Mughal emperor Babur built a mosque at this site, known as the Babri Masjid. In 1992, a Hindu nationalist rally turned violent, resulting in a mob of Hindu nationalists demolishing the Babri Masjid, leading to widespread communal riots across India. 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐦 𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐚-𝗔𝘆𝗼𝗱𝗵𝘆𝗮 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬

Since then, Ayodhya has been at the center of political discussion, with various political parties, especially those with a Hindu nationalist agenda, exploiting the issue for electoral gains. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), in particular, has exploited sentiments related to the Ayodhya dispute to strengthen its support base among Hindu voters. The BJP's coming to power in the late 1990s and its subsequent electoral successes have been partly attributed to its stance on the Ayodhya issue. 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐦 𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐚-𝗔𝘆𝗼𝗱𝗵𝘆𝗮 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬

The resolution of the Ayodhya dispute has not only ended the decades-long legal battle but also reshaped the political landscape in India. This has strengthened the BJP's image as a party capable of delivering on the promises it made to its Hindu nationalist base and further cemented its position as the dominant political force in the country. However, the issue continues to have an impact in the form of communal tension and religious polarization, underscoring the complex interrelationship between religion, politics and identity in India. 𝐬𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐦 𝐲𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐚-𝗔𝘆𝗼𝗱𝗵𝘆𝗮 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐬
