On December 6, 1992, Ram devotees created history by demolishing the Babri Masjid built on the Ram Janmabhoomi in Ayodhya Dham, India. Second History: Narendra Modi, the Indian Prime Minister, dedicated Ram Lalla at the same location on January 22, 2024. A grand and divine Ram temple is being built. The whole world is happy. Every special person became a witness to this grand ceremony. This is the place in Ayodhya where Lord Shri Ram was born and went to Sri Lanka to kill the terrorist Ravana. He gave the message that one who does not respect women is completely destroyed. Shri Ram has given us the message of dignity at every level. If we read the Ramayana written by Valmiki and the Ramcharitmanas written by Tulsidas, we come to know that Shri Ram has not only benefited the sages and saints but also the cursed Ahalya, the sailor Nishadraj, and the waiting Shabari. In this way, Ram belongs to everyone. What a beautiful thing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said: “This temple is not just a god temple. This is the temple of India's vision, India's philosophy, and India's direction. This is a temple of national consciousness in the form of Ram.” In this way, Ram Temple is a meaningful step towards India becoming a developed country and a world leader. (Vishwa Guru) As a journalist, I have seen the events of December 6, 1992. This reporting done by risking one's life on December 6th is unprecedented, unforgettable, and enjoyable in itself. What will you find in the book ‘Ayodhya: From December 6, 1992, to January 22, 2024? A glimpse of the Ram Mandir movement of 1990, in which the Mulayam Singh Yadav government opened fire on kar sevaks. I saw with my own eyes the condition of the Kar Seva held in Ayodhya on December 6, 1992. An attempt has been made to find the answer to this question: whether Lord Ram's devotee Hanuman ji also performed Kar Seva on December 6th. A trick to escape with journalistic intelligence when two Sardars were bent on my life. The generation after 1990 has accurate information about the 77th war to liberate Ram Janmabhoomi. Complete speech of Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath, Treasurer of Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust Ayodhya, Govind Dev Giri Maharaj, and Chief of Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, the world's largest social organization, Dr. Mohan Bhagwat, at the inauguration of Ram Temple on January 22, 2024. This book, decorated with beautiful pictures, is not only interesting and informative but also a historical document. Former US President Abraham Lincoln has said, “I would say that my best friend is the one who gives me a book that I have not read till date.” ‘Ayodhya: From December 6, 1992, to January 22, 2024, as a journalist, I witnessed the story of the demolition of Babri Masjid and the construction of Ram Mandir’ is one such book. Then why the delay? Buy today and make your life—that of your family members and friends—full of happiness.

'A sensational book' India Today A shocking exposé of the event that changed Indian politics forever P.V. Narasimha Rao was the prime minister of India when, on 6 December 1992, thousands of kar sevaks stormed into the site of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The nation watched in horror as the centuries-old mosque was razed to the ground, in the presence of paramilitary forces and senior political leaders, marking a turning point in post-Independence Indian history. Many hold Rao responsible for not preventing the demolition, while others accuse him of being a co-conspirator. In this tell-all account, Rao reveals what really transpired in the run-up to that fateful day. Drawing on the Supreme Court order, parliamentary proceedings, eyewitness reports and his own insights, he presents a comprehensive view of the machinations that led to the demolition of the Babri Masjid. Nearly three decades after the event, Ayodhya: 6 December 1992 remains a valuable resource to understanding the political manoeuvres behind the Ram Mandir issue and the dangers of exploiting religious sentiments for narrow electoral gains.

As an integral part of the modern West, terrorism features prominently in the news, in film and television, even in video games and books. Packaged for public consumption, representations of terrorism and terrorists offer attempts to make sense of the contemporary experience. While terrorism is often treated as a topic of concern for mature audiences, this book focuses on media that are aimed at children and young adults. The contributors investigate the way terrorism is portrayed in movies, television shows, literature, games, and other popular culture formats aimed at these younger audiences, focusing particularly on the impact these portrayals have on these audiences as future decision-makers.

This book examines how the BJP became the world’s largest political party. It goes beyond the usual narrative of the party’s Hindutva politics to explain how, under Narendra Modi, the party reshaped the Indian polity using its own brand of social engineering. According to the findings of this book, this reconstruction was cleverly powered by new caste coalitions, the claim of a new welfare state that focused on marginalised social groups and the making of a women-voter base. Based on data from three unique indices—the Mehta–Singh Social Index, which studies the caste composition of Indian political parties; the Narad Index, which calculates communication patterns across topics and audiences; and PollNiti, which connects and tallies hundreds of political and economic datasets—The New BJP is full of startling insights into the way both the party and the country function. Previously untapped historical records, exclusive interviews with party leaders and comprehensive reportage from across India provide a fresh understanding of the BJP’s growth areas, including the Northeast and south India. A lucid and objective study of the BJP and India today, this book will be useful to researchers, journalists, students, activists and general public alike.

The volume: • Is founded on a variety of conceptual approaches: political economy approach, public sphere approach, community and context approach, federalism approach, institutional approach, and cultural approach. • Draws on qualitative and quantitative analysis of rigorous field data. • Underscores the contexts, contours, and cultures of elections in India; • Analyses the ‘narratives’ inherent in electoral campaigns and electoral marketing; • Studies complex, overlapping and multidimensional ways elections can be studied; • Explicates the goal of electioneering in contemporary India—whether it is an ‘institution-driven’ or an ‘actor-driven’ process. The volume will be essential reading for students, teachers and researchers of Indian politics and South Asian studies.

As the trespassers walked towards the mosque, the muezzin [...] jumped out of the darkness. Before the adversaries could discover his presence, he dashed straight towards Abhiram Das, the vairagi who was holding the idol in his hands and leading the group of intruders. [...] The sadhu quickly freed himself and, together with his friends, retaliated fiercely. Heavy blows began raining from all directions. Soon, the muezzin realized that he was no match for the men and that he alone would not be able to stop them. 22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Through intrepid research and investigation, Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Through a series of first-hand interviews with eyewitnesses and the unearthing of archival material, the authors take us behind the scenes to examine the motivations and workings of the Mahasabha members who pulled the strings. They also examine the liaison between Mahasabhaites and Hindu traditionalists in the Congress - an association that Jawaharlal Nehru sought to break in his cautious battle with Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and the right-wing forces. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.

What kinds of civic ties between different ethnic communities can contain, or even prevent, ethnic violence? This book draws on new research on Hindu-Muslim conflict in India to address this important question. Ashutosh Varshney examines three pairs of Indian cities—one city in each pair with a history of communal violence, the other with a history of relative communal harmony—to discern why violence between Hindus and Muslims occurs in some situations but not others. His findings will be of strong interest to scholars, politicians, and policymakers of South Asia, but the implications of his study have theoretical and practical relevance for a broad range of multiethnic societies in other areas of the world as well. The book focuses on the networks of civic engagement that bring Hindu and Muslim urban communities together. Strong associational forms of civic engagement, such as integrated business organizations, trade unions, political parties, and professional associations, are able to control outbreaks of ethnic violence, Varshney shows. Vigorous and communally integrated associational life can serve as an agent of peace by restraining those, including powerful politicians, who would polarize Hindus and Muslims along communal lines.

Set in Bombay in the mid-1990s, Family Matters tells a story of familial love and obligation, of personal and political corruption, of the demands of tradition and the possibilities for compassion. Nariman Vakeel, the patriarch of a small discordant family, is beset by Parkinson’s and haunted by memories of his past. He lives with his two middle-aged stepchildren, Coomy, bitter and domineering, and her brother, Jal, mild-mannered and acquiescent. But the burden of the illness worsens the already strained family relationships. Soon, their sweet-tempered half-sister, Roxana, is forced to assume sole responsibility for her bedridden father. And Roxana’s husband, besieged by financial worries, devises a scheme of deception involving his eccentric employer at a sporting goods store, setting in motion a series of events that leads to the narrative’s moving outcome. Family Matters has all the richness, the gentle humour, and the narrative sweep that have earned Mistry the highest of accolades around the world.
