Hindu nationalists claim that a temple on the same site honoring the birthplace of the Hindu deity, Rama, was torn down to make way for the mosque.

This was standard operating procedure for Muslims for centuries. Destroying other religions holy sites and building mosques on them, at which point they become "Islamic Holy Sites". Just like the Temple Mount in Jeuruselem.
