It's been more than 2 decades since the Babri Masjid was demolished in Ayodhya. Much blood has been spilled on the issue of Lord Ram's birthplace. The issue, almost dead now, evoked passions across the country, something whose repercussions we still feel today.
There's an eerie familiarity between the current political climate in the country and what happened around 25 years back.
Here's a documentary from Anand Patwardhan which was made in the aftermath of riots that gripped the country following the mosque demolition. It might serve as a reminder to those supporting blind nationalism. Then, it was the muslims who were called the traitors; today, it's the liberals.
