The DayAfter Bookworld Editor
This
Book could hit you in the eye but you must read it. The very title of
the Hindi book by Braj Gopal Rai 'Chanchal' will make you sit up. On the
cover there is a model of a temple and the title reads in Hindi
Mandir Wahin Banayenge: Magar Kyon? We shall build the temple at the
same spot: But why? The title makes it clear that the book deals with
the Ram Janmabhoomi Mandir and the Babri Masjid
controversy which has bedevilled not only the people of Ayodhya but the
entire Indian nation for long.
The book by Braj Gopal Rai 'Chanchal' seeks to
present the history of the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple movement and
the controversies and debates linked with it. The author claims that his
presentation is aimed at making people understand the logical elements
of the temple agitation and the causes behind the movement. Published by
Diamond Pocket Books and priced at Rs. 95, this book presents views and
visions which you may find hard to accept or hard to reject, but you
will certainly find the information in it provocative enough to make you
embark upon your own course of investigating what truths and lies are
hidden on both sides of the temple-mosque controversy which has been
kept alive for more than two decades now.
According to Narendra Kumar, Managing Director of
Diamond Pocket Books (P) Ltd., who have published this book, some people
have no doubt tried to make political capital out of the Ayodhya
controversy. But the basic question remains that even if it were so,
what was wrong with it? Who is stopping the antagonists too from getting
political gains out of the controversy? |
