Courts in India are reopening disputes involving mosques and other religious sites. Claims are moving forward even though laws passed after the Babri Masjid dispute were designed to prevent renewed conflict over protected religious places. New cases are emerging as Hindu nationalism grows. Many Muslims fear that the legal protections promised for religious sites are slipping away. The disputes are expanding beyond mosques to include temples, reflecting a return of older religious battles in the court system. The shift is tied to changing political and social pressures affecting how religious claims are handled in legal proceedings.

A law passed after the Babri Masjid dispute was meant to stop exactly this. But new claims are moving forward again, as Hindu nationalism grows and many Muslims fear the protections once promised to them are slipping away."
