- December 6 - Workers of the VHP(World Hindu Council) tear down a 16th-century mosque located in Ayodhya, in Northern India. The mosque is believed to have been built over a shrine which exhorted the small piece of land as Ram Janmabhoomi - the birthplace of Lord Rama. This is the Hindu equivalent of Bethlehem(the birthplace of Jesus). This sparks off nationwide communal riots in which some 3,000 people die.
