32. Will the reconstruction of the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi temple in any way affect the position of India vis-à-vis Kashmir?

These two issues have no link with each other. The problem of Kashmir is the result of the two-nation theory on the basis of which our country was divided. It, therefore, predates the coming of the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement to the centre stage.

The Shri Rama Janmabhoomi movement is not one against the Muslims of the country but one which seeks for a rejuvenated Hinduism, which tradition belongs to all the citizens of India. The ancestors of the Muslims who were converted by force or inducement worshiped Shri Rama with as much fervour as those who did not convert.
