Makeover of street where Modi lives in Delhi threatens historic mosque, temple and British-era racecourse

For over a century, generations of Muslims have worshipped in a mosque that stands just across the road from the prime minister’s official home in the heart of India’s capital. Now the historic mosque, older than the Indian republic itself, faces the threat of demolition.

Bulldozers work nearby as fears mount that the Race Course Mosque will soon be torn down as part of an ongoing drive to clear the surroundings of the prime minister’s residence.
