Hindus protest mosque plans, over 1,300 arrested - India
Police arrested more than 1,300 Hindu activists on Saturday as authorities banned public gatherings in several places in northern India to prevent Hindu activists from meeting near the site of a razed mosque.

The World Hindu Council has called a mass meeting next week in support of its demand to build a temple at the disputed site of the 16th century Babri mosque, which was torn down more than a decade ago by Hindu fundamentalists.

The mosque's destruction in 1992 triggered a year of Hindu-Muslim violence that killed 2,000 people across India.

On Friday, the High Court in Uttar Pradesh state ordered the state government not to allow any religious activity near the site, in the city of Ayodhya, 500 kilometers east of New Delhi. The court is currently hearing the decades-old Hindu-Muslim dispute over the site.

1. I was flamed for suggesting India had a Hindu fundamentalist problem
It was in the M.E. forum last week.

Shame on me for mentioning Hindu fundies when Muslim fundies (supposedly) exist on the subcontinent and naturally deserve the full force of our wrath.
