If the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi temple were rebuilt, what would be the position of Hindus in countries where Muslims are in large majority?
 

Hindu have always lived in peace with their neighbours, irrespective of whether they were in majority or minority. Throughout the history, Hindus have not created problems in any country in the world where they reside. In Indonesia, the Hindus of Bali have never asked for independence or any special privileges, as the Christians of East Timor have done.

Given the righteousness of the Hindu case for the return of the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi, there is no reason why Hindus should be persecuted in other countries where they are in minority. Where they are persecuted, like in Pakistan and Bangladesh, the reasons have nothing to do with the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement. The persecution has existed prior to the coming of the movement to the centre stage.
