One has to first determine how one views
the Babri structure. Some of those opposed to the construction of the
mandir at the Shri Rama Janmabhoomi say that the Babri structure was a
place of worship for the Muslims. Some others argue that it was a monument
of our secular tradition. Any interpretation of the Babri structure, other
than that it was a monument of our slavery, would clearly indicate that
the Hindus are being asked to persist with the feeling of humiliation
that Babur wanted to inflict on them, as conquered people.
The Babri structure was built after destroying
a temple in honour of Shri Rama. Thus those who oppose the restoration
of the temple wish to hold the memory of Babur, an invader from a foreign
land, and one who caused much devastation, over that of Shri Rama, the
maryada purushottam. It is in this sense that the opponents of the Shri
Rama Janmabhoomi are called "Babur ke aulad". |
