 Are Hindu organisations called fundamentalists in the crude sense? Will not the reconstruction of the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi temple make this charge valid?
 

The charge of fundamentalist in the crude sense has a political agenda behind it, and is not based on truth. Given its ethos of tolerance and other norms, Hindus can never be charged with being fundamentalist. The Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement is one to rejuvenate Hindu culture, and is not directed against anyone. So, just as the present charge against any Hindu organisations of being fundamentalist is wrong, so any effort to colour them with the same charge on the basis of Shri Rama Janmabhoomi will be equally wrong.
