India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi is fulfilling a promise to Hindu nationalists with the opening of a vast new temple in the northern city of Ayodhya.

But for India’s Muslims it evokes bitter memories of sectarian violence and bloodshed. More than 30 years ago Hindu rioters pulled down the historic mosque that had stood on the site in Ayodhya.
In the mob violence that spread across India thousands of people lost their lives. It marked a turning point in independent India’s transformation from a secular state, with the rise of militant Hindu nationalism.

The opening of the new temple by Mr Modi marks the start of his re-election campaign, as he appeals to India’s Hindu majority to back him for a third term in office.

Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Yogita Limaye in Ayodhya.

Ayodhya is our Hindu vedic heritage. It does not belong to Muslim invaders.
Almost the entire Hindu population who love their faith and heritage celebrated and these bastards are branding it nationalism.
