9:35Now PlayingAyodhya has been one of the most hotly contested arguments on the planet - in theory affecting well over a billion people. In his speech today consecrating the new Hindu temple there, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said people would talk of this in a thousand years time.
The temple is where Hindus believe the deity Ram was born - akin to Jesus for Christians. And in 1992 a Hindu mob tore down a sixteenth century Muslim mosque they claimed had been built on the ruins of the original Hindu temple. In the last thirty years alone thousands have died over this. In a nation where religion and politics were supposed to be separate - they became more intertwined than ever today.
