Question 824

X-Y was constructed in 1527 by order of X. Before the 1940s, it was called Y-i-Janmasthan ("Y of the birthplace") acknowledging the site as the birthplace of the Hindu deity, Z. The X-Y was one of the largest of its kind in Uttar Pradesh. Although there were several older such structures in the surrounding district, including the Hazrat Bal Y constructed by the Shariqi kings, X-Y became the largest, due to the importance of the site. Despite its size and fame, it was little used by the Muslim community of the district and numerous petitions by Hindus to the courts resulted in Hindu worshippers of Z gaining access to the site. Identify X-Y and Z.
Answer: X-Y : Babri Masjid (Mosque of Babur) and Z: Lord Rama.
