The sacred Babri Masjid mosque in Ayodhya, India, lay in ruins on that fateful day, a victim of religious tensions and Hindu nationalist fervor. For decades, Hindu extremists had claimed the mosque was built on the birthplace of the god Ram, and on December 6, 1992, a mob of thousands, fueled by rhetoric and misinformation, stormed the site, reducing the 16th-century structure to rubble. The aftermath was gruesome: riots erupted nationwide, claiming over 1,500 lives, and leaving a permanent scar on India's social fabric.
