Description
Résumé: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.
