The disturbance of the communal atmosphere
in our country has a long and unhappy history, which has nothing to do
with the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement. In case of the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi
movement, the problem is blown up because the Muslims are told that the
Babri structure is their religious place. They are not told the truth
of the history of the site. They do not recognise that the monument was
a political one, and that it was a symbol of the slavery of the Hindus.
This programme of misleading the Muslims is not only confined to their
obscurantist leadership but also to those who authenticate this leadership.
The latter try to project themselves as protectors and benefactors of
the Muslims, while in truth all that they are interested in is to keep
them in a continual state of disenchantment. The cause for the communal
atmosphere in the country being disturbed has to be correctly identified,
if the problem is to be solved. |
