I was in Delhi in 1992, watched on TV how thousands of people destroyed Babri Masjid, had to wait in Delhi until the curfew in Agra got lifted after the riots, so we could go see the Taj Mahal, continued further south where we thought it would get better, reached Mumbai, where it was the worst: hundreds of Muslim refugees in Victoria Station trying to leave, riot police stopping us from entering into a still smoldering Muslim neighborhood, meeting a gang of Hindu hooligans with swords and cricket bats in the streets, all so surreal.

That must have been a chaos. In that time, I was in my teens and honestly not bothered so much, nor did it register to me much but now I can feel what must have been the impact. But yes, I do know that Mumbai was impacted hard because of the political influence. It was a matter of political ego in that time and for that you can expect anything. Sadly, the Temple is built on all of this.
