Résumé: | According to the author, there is a reluctance among leftists in India to accept the extent of support for the "Ram Janmabhoomi" agitation.

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.
