All others are secondary. Seen in this light, Governments have a duty imposed on them to intervene when law and order dispensation migrates to the hands of private individuals or bodies. This principle is not restricted to storming of religious places. The primary duty of any Government is the maintenance of law and order. All others are secondary.

Babri Masjid demolition was not done by police or paramilitary forces (or the army) For basic information on the demolition, I will suggest you have a look at the wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babri_masjid The "Further Reading" list and "External Links" sections have both sides of the argument represented within the references. Thanks. Viv: Yes, we are indeed talking of religious places that have been stormed by the police, paramilitary or armed forces of the State.

Then, under what category does the demolition if babri Masjid come? Can anybody shed some light on the Babri demolition? Why did it happen? Who was behind it? What was it in response to? What does Hindutva say about the demolition? A very basic explanation will do... Thanks peace to all Are we talking about the storming of religious places with respect to Govts?
Then, under what category does the demolition if babri Masjid come?

Can anybody shed some light on the Babri demolition?
Why did it happen? Who was behind it? What was it in response to? What does Hindutva say about the demolition?

A very basic explanation will do…

Thanks
peace to all

If a place to worship becomes a hub for inhuman activities then it becomes necessary to drive those inhuman elements out of that place using force if required. I agree with you on that Shantanu.
