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.
