RT Article T1 Secular forces and Ram Janmabhoomi Movement JF Economic & political weekly VO 28 IS 7 SP 307 OP 308 A1 Deshpande, J. V. LA English YR 1993 UL https://www.ixtheo.de/Record/1630871818 AB According to the author, there is a reluctance among leftists in India to accept the extent of support for the "Ram Janmabhoomi" agitation. But it is necessary to realise that the agitation for a Rama temple has struck a responsive chord in the minds of a large majority of Hindus. He examines the pace of alienation of Hindus from the Indian National Congress or the secularists in general and shows that there is a wide gap in the concept of secularism as it is preached and practised by the mainstream political parties and as it is perceived by the public.
