When I was preparing to set my foot on this magnificent world, unaware of hardship and misery that was awaiting along with happiness and peace, the world was preparing to witness and write history that would come as a topic in today’s post. Jokes apart, as I was not in a condition to understand what was going on outside when I was born, currently I had to search on the internet to get an overview of the year. This was fascinating to get to know the events that had happened and you have no clue about the same. It is fun digging into history. Here are a few events I found worth sharing.

They also reported to Allahabad court that during the demolition time, the mosque was not in suitable condition for people to use. This sparks off communal riots all across India causing over 3000 people to die.
