No. For the Hindus, a temple at the
Shri Rama Janmabhoomi is not an issue of mere bricks and mortar.
It is an issue of our cultural resurgence and identity, where Shri
Rama, as maryada purushottam, has a prime place of importance. The
movement is an expression of the collective consciousness of the
Hindu ethos which was also articulated by Shri K M Munshi in case
of the Mandir at Somnath: "The Hindu sentiment in regard to this
temple is both strong and widespread. In the present conditions,
it is unlikely that, that sentiment will be satisfied by mere restoration
of the temple or by prolonging its life. The restoration of the
idol would be a point of honour and sentiment with the Hindu public."
Hence, for the Hindus Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement is not political.
