D. P. Has made construction of the temple one of its main old planks but its an extremely divisive issue in india as its being built on land where the 16th century mosque once stored. In 1902 the bubbly mustard mosque was the target of rightwing hindus from the b. G. P. Sister organizations in december using pickaxes and crowbars the mosque was razed to the ground to make way for the construction of the temple the destruction sparked large scale rioting leaving it on 2000 people dead across india and last year the Supreme Court allowed the construction of the temple to go ahead. Joining me now from delhi is. A journalist and author among other books of a biography of not in the room or the as well as mr macleod there welcome the Prime Minister laying the Foundation Stone of the around the time poll on the same day as the anniversary of the removal of kashmirs autonomy is this just a coincidence no i do not think that. Timing of the. First anniversary of the want to please everybody. Is completely. Sure that what with the site it done last year was also very much part of your culture the nationalist movement and the sentiment which has been there for the last 3 and a half. Days partly to be j. P. And it nash to get eyes. So you know you talk about this a National Sentiment that is coming from the media and its allies what does that mean for india has achieved and for you turned the page today and is in there leaving it secular credentials behind india has been evolving for the last. Decade there has been a slow gradual shift from. Nationalism would lead you nationalism for the last several days it to de marte of very important mindstorm in that particular part even appeared to be going to new induct part but quite some time at least till that time the b. G. P. And wisdom will continue to be going to dominate position how fast and how soon the store is going to put it up and buy a lot of. Events which are going to take place for the next few years most importantly how does the government manages the over 1000 by debate and continuing military conflict with china but given the religious nationalism material speaking about does all that matter at all does the governments report card on covert 19 or the confrontation with china matter taught. Well the last 25 years have been hit with the g. O. P. Is struggling to find these issues on which it can point distractions or win the Popular Support of people he did always use simple out edition and media so that issues which are part of their hindu nationalists to get to know to try to please people and wounded more but on their own time that is what has been done in service. Foundationally said when the at this time comes at a time when there are possibly deficiencies in the governments handling of the over 90 pandemic as well as the military conflict with china so this becomes a fallback option in gears the popularity of the government is still more the start skipping you all back to something which will be only the leaders and cultural symbol.
