Indian Supreme Court has ruled in favor of a Hindu claim to a bitterly disputed religious site in the northern town of Ayodhya.
The unanimous decision clears the way for a Hindu temple to be built at the location where a sixteenth century mosque was torn down
by zealots in 1992, an act that triggered deadly riots across India. Anbarasan Ethirajan looks at the impact to the judgment.
It's a landmark verdict and it could set the tone for which direction India is taking in the years to come.
The decision is also a major victory for the Hindu nationalist party of the Prime Minister Narendra Modi,
which has long campaigned to build a temple for the deity, Lord Ram at the site.
The party's rise to political eminence in recent decades was linked to the promise to build a temple in Ayodhya.
Muslims are disappointed and are concerned that this would relegate them to second-class citizens and empower Hindu extremists.
Hundreds of Sikhs have begun crossing the border between India and Pakistan,
using for the first time a visa-free corridor to reach one of their religion's holy sites.
They walked through a gate at Kartarpur to make the journey to the temple marking where the founder of Sikhism died.
