Reclaiming your own temples, after giving the injured party land to rebuild their mosque, is not persecution in my book. I would argue that building a mosque after demolishing a temple at the place Hindus believe their Lord was born was a deliberate provocation, and the other party refusing to let it go for 500 years was persecution of Hindus and their faith.

No other mosque in Ayodhya was touched when this particular mosque was demolished three decades back. If Hindus were truly supremacist, every single one would have been.

There are more than 600,000 mosques in India and over 200 million Muslims. They are a second majority.

That's 14% of the population (vs 80% for Hindu), it's not a second majority, it's the definition of a minority. For the record, Jews accounted for 10% of the Polish population in 1939…
