The central government has asked all states to remain cautious and ensure peace in all districts as December 6 marks 25 years of the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. Just yesterday, the Supreme Court said it will begin the final hearing over the disputed Ayodhya site, claimed by both Hindus and Muslims on February 8 next year. Hindus believe the site is where Lord Ram was born thereby calling it the Ram Janmabhoomi. Hindus also claim that Mughal emperor Babur built a mosque over the site where Lord Ram was born. Muslims on the other hand say that the site is important to them as the Babri Masjid - a mosque built by Mughal emperor Babur - stood there from 1528 AD to December 6, 1992. The land dispute case has been in the courts for quarter of a century now as the ancient and holy city of Ayodhya has frozen in time.
