This article examines the potential for both cooperation and conflict between South Asian diaspora communities in Europe. It will achieve this by focusing on the reaction of Hindu and Muslim communities to the events surrounding the Babri Masjid/Ram Janambhoomi at Ayodhya, India in December 1992. The article will provide information about the conflict in India and its global repercussions. For a European perspective, a case study of community responses in Bradford, Britain will be outlined. This will include an examination of the sources of information which helped to form local community opinions about the events and an explanation of how these interpretations have contributed to the longer‐term trend of politicising Hindus and Muslims as separate communities. By exploring a particular incident where diaspora communities have perceived themselves to be in conflict, the article hopes to provide an example of why policymakers must treat the issue of religion and cultural heritage as sensitively as ethnicity, gender and class
