Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Sir: The Mogul prince Babar came to India with barely a few hundred people. I cannot imagine that only the descendants of this small group of 'conquerors' would have built the Babri Masjid alone. The mosque, therefore, must have been built by the native converts to Islam and, I am sure, by the Hindu artisans whose high-class craftsmanship is so visible in all the Mogul buildings in India.

Tearing apart a historic building, made by themselves, is a strange Hindu way of taking 'revenge' for the Mogul (and Muslim) rule over India.

Yours faithfully,
