One push after another, the slogan grew louder — “Ek dhakka aur do, Babri masjid tod do (Give one more push, bring the Babri masjid down).”

And come down it did. On the fateful afternoon of 6 December 1992, hundreds of Hindu fundamentalists tore down the Babri masjid, which stood on a site in Ayodhya believed to be the birthplace of Lord Ram.

Ten days after the demolition of the three-domed structure, the Congress-led Central government set up a commission under Justice Manmohan Singh Liberhan, then a sitting judge of the Punjab & Haryana High Court, to investigate the events that led up to it and identify the people involved.

The commission, which got 48 extensions, led what became the longest running inquiry in Indian history. It submitted its report to then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on 30 June 2009.
