Topic: Babri Masjid

With general elections round the corner & inter-faith harmony hitting a new low, a middle way is the best way.

President of India has conferred Bharat Ratna on PV Narasimha Rao. In this 2004 interview, former PM talked about his political journey & where he saw India headed.

At launch of his book, Swarup, who served under the then UP CM, said Kalyan Singh was against mass mobilisation of kar sevaks & was trying to find peaceful solution to Ayodhya dispute.

'Many rumours have been spread, many lies have been spread about Babri Masjid and Ramjanmabhoomi,' Gandhi had said in Lucknow on 19 November 1989.

When it came to economic reforms, Rao was half a lion, but when it came to Babri Masjid, he was half a man, said Aiyar at the launch of his book The Rajiv I Knew.

If the photograph of the demolition of Babri Masjid is an assertion of power, then the Shaheen Bagh photograph is a resistance to that power.

Their ancestors 'fought the Mughals' for Ram Janmabhoomi, vowed not to wear 'turbans or leather shoes or carry umbrellas' till successful. The temple fulfils that dream, but they have one grouse.

The inauguration of Ram temple is one of the biggest setbacks to Congress’s brand of 'secular' politics. Modi didn’t change the terms and conditions of his ideological fight to get masses on his side.

Sonia Gandhi is in a dilemma over attending Ram Lalla's consecration ceremony. If she attends, it will be projected as an endorsement of the Ram temple movement. If she doesn't, the BJP is sure to label the Congress as anti-Hindu.

Poojari, who has been working as an autorickshaw driver for several years, was never arrested for the 1992 violence, an ‘oversight' that has now triggered an inquiry.
