The JNU historians and Muslim scholars in their zeal to prove Babar had not destroyed any temple to build a mosque, not only distorted facts and argued using half-truths, they also tried turning Ram and Ram’s association with Ayodhya into a myth
Following the demolition of the Ram temple, numerous efforts were made to permit Hindu worship at the site. In 1852, tensions flared up again, leading to a riot, and there was an attempt to seize the Babri Masjid. The British intervened to restore peace and issued an order stipulating that namaz (Islamic prayers) would be conducted inside the mosque while Hindu worship would take place outside on the Ram Chabutra.
