“Indian archaeologists prepared on Tuesday to start digging in search of a lost temple whose disputed existence lies at the heart of India’s tense and often violent Hindu-Muslim divide. Archaeologists put up tents at three places at the site in the northern holy town of Ayodhya to maintain secrecy as they search for remains of a temple which some Hindus say was buried under a 16th-century mosque. Hindu zealots razed the mosque in 1992, triggering nationwide Hindu-Muslim riots in which some 3,000 people died.”
