Ayodhya: Six December Nineteen Ninety Two
P V Narasimha Rao
Ayodhya: Six December Nineteen Ninety Two - New Delhi Viking 2006 - xvi,317 PB 21x13 cm.
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. http://www.unipune.ac.in/snc/cssh/humanrights/03%20STATE%20AND%20MINORITIES/3.pdf
