Ayodhy: the faithful and politics

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

Arrandia was inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir of Ayodhura, temple of the god Rama's birthplace, on 22 January. When there are three months left for the general elections in India, candidate Modi can say that he has starkly kept one of the most powerful promises he made in the 2019 election campaign. A spectacular temple, both in size and in ornate, in which a great themed city has been built that long ago was not much more than a semi-detached town, waiting for the future waves of pilgrims. Investing large amounts of public and private money.

Great, then? Well. Someone says it's a historic fact. Yes, but perhaps not in the sense you would. The construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhura is a historic fact, but it comes from the darkest and bloodiest history, and it risks being so in the future.

The birth of the god Rama would be the mythical starting point. However, since the 16th century, the Babri Masjid Mosque was in Ayodhya. After 40 years of imprisonment and confrontation between Hindus and Muslims, in December 1992, a crowd of Vishva Hindu Parishad removed the mosque. Between two and three thousand people died in subsequent riots. In 2019, the Supreme Court of India ruled that the mosque belonged to a previous non-Muslim building, resulting in the great construction of Modi.

It has been proved who has a force ratio, the force of reason would be much more distributed. In any case, the Ayodhura conflict cannot be understood for a long time, but especially in recent decades, without taking into account its boom in India. And their political reflex, Modi.

Some Hindutvas are often associated with Tionism, others find it fairer to equate with Nazism. One perspective or another may not be so guilty. It cannot be denied, in any case, that the remarkable political success, which we could also call hegemony, has been achieved by the hand of Modi, Adnavi and the BJP of others, their nationalist alliance of the flexible right hand, intra-Community politics and eclectic foreign policy. And his nemesis in the decline of Congress.

But always under the shadow of the paramilitary organization RSS and its socio-political arm VHP. And they are certainly the ones who can regard Ayodhea's Ram Mandi as their own victory. Just as much of India's population is going to be attacked and unjust.

India's Prime Minister, Modi, has to get over 400 seats in the general election to say it's a success. If I got less than the present, it would be a failure, even if the coalition maintained the majority. The results of June 4 show the direction of the knot.
