Beschreibung
The demolition of the Babri Mosque at Ayodhya on December 6, 1992 is an event as significant as it was unexpected. In this book nine scholars (Theodore P.Wright Jr., John J.Carroll, Matthew A.Cook, Dhirendra K.Vajpeyi, Subhas C.Kashyar, Steven A.Hoffmann, Srinivas Tilak, Koenraad Elst and Vasudha Narayanan) explore the myriad significances of this event for the Hindu and Muslim communities, and for the relations between them, in India.
