 1.INTRODUCTION
Ram Janmabhoomi (literally, "Rama's birthplace") is the name given to the site that
many Hindus believe to be the birthplace of Rama, the 7th avatar of the Hindu deity
Vishnu. The Ramayana states that the location of Rama's birthplace is on the banks of
the Sarayu river in a city called "Ayodhya". A section of Hindus claim that the exact
site of Rama's birthplace is where the Babri Masjid once stood in the present-day
Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh. According to this theory, the Mughals demolished a Hindu
shrine that marked the spot, and constructed a mosque in its place. People opposed to
this theory state that such claims arose only in the 18th century, and that there is no
evidence for the spot being the birthplace of Rama.
The political, historical and socio-religious debate over the history and location of the
Babri Mosque, and whether a previous temple was demolished or modified to create it,
is known as the Ayodhya dispute.
In 1992, the demolition of Babri Masjid by Hindu nationalists triggered widespread
HinduMuslim violence. Since then, the archaeological excavations have indicated the
presence of a temple beneath the mosque rubble.
Several other sites, including places in other parts of India, Afghanistan, and Nepal, have
been proposed as birthplaces of Rama.
