Mosques in India trend on Twitter after Babri Mosque verdict

SHAFAQNA – Social media users in India took to Twitter on Friday to raise awareness of the country’s Islamic heritage using the hashtag #MosquesofIndia, a week after India’s Supreme Court awarded a bitterly contested religious site to Hindus.

Social media users say they’re highlighting the South Asian country’s Islamic heritage, a week after a top court ruled to hand the historic Babri Mosque site to Hindus.

Social media users in India took to Twitter on Friday to raise awareness of the country’s Islamic heritage using the hashtag #MosquesofIndia, a week after India’s Supreme Court awarded a bitterly contested religious site to Hindus, dealing a defeat to Muslims who also claim the land that has sparked some of the ­country’s bloodiest riots since independence.

On November 9, the top court ruled the site in Ayodhya in northern India, where Hindu mobs destroyed a 460-year-old Babri Mosque in 1992, must be managed by a trust to oversee the construction of a Hindu temple.

The court gave a separate piece of land in the same city to a Muslim group to build a “prominent” new mosque.

Some users made reference to their longing for the Babri Mosque, while others celebrated the country’s historic Islamic sites.
