Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated a grand temple to Hindu god Ram in the flashpoint city of Ayodhya.

He said it heralded "a new era" for India - the temple replaces a 16th-Century mosque torn down by Hindu mobs in 1992, sparking riots in which nearly 2,000 people died.

Top film stars and cricketers were among guests at the event in Ayodhya.

But some Hindu seers and most of the opposition boycotted it, saying Mr Modi was using it for political gain.

General elections are due in India in the next few months and Mr Modi's political rivals say the governing Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be seeking votes in the temple's name in a country where 80% of the population is Hindu.

Critics have also accused the government of exploiting a religious celebration in a country which - according to its constitution - is secular. For Muslims, India's biggest minority, the event evoked fear and painful memories, members of the community in Ayodhya told the BBC in the run-up to Monday's ceremony.

Televised live, it showed Mr Modi performing religious rituals inside the temple's sanctum along with priests and Mohan Bhagwat, head of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - the ideological fountainhead of Hindu nationalist parties.

The complex history of India's Ayodhya holy site

Transforming a flashpoint holy city into the ‘Hindu Vatican’

"Today's date will go down in history," Mr Modi said after the event. "After years of struggle and countless sacrifices, Lord Ram has arrived [home]. I want to congratulate every citizen of the country on this historic occasion."

The temple has been constructed at a cost of $217m (£170m), funded from private donations. Only the ground floor was opened - the rest is expected to be completed by the end of the year. The construction work is part of a revamp for the city, estimated to cost more than $3bn.

The building of the Ram temple in Ayodhya fulfils a decades-long Hindu nationalist pledge. Many Hindus believe the Babri mosque was built by Muslim invaders on the ruins of a temple where the Hindu god was born.

The movement to build the temple helped propel the BJP into political prominence in the 1990s.

There was a festive atmosphere as tens of thousands of chanting Hindu devotees waved flags and beat drums - military helicopters showered flower petals on the temple. Saffron flags with pictures of Lord Ram line streets in the city festooned with marigolds, as do banners with the faces of Mr Modi and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

Some of India's biggest celebrities, including Bollywood star Amitabh Bachchan and cricketer Sachin Tendulkar, attended.

In many other northern cities Hindus lit lamps, and saffron flags carrying images of Ram are fluttering on rooftops, including in several parts of Delhi. Cinemas screened the event, and big screens relayed pictures from Ayodhya to town squares and residential neighbourhoods.

The ceremony, called Pran Pratishtha, which loosely translates from Sanskrit into "establishment of life force", lasted about an hour. Hindus believe that chanting mantras and performing rituals around a fire will infuse sacred life in an idol or a photograph of a deity.

Several domestic TV stations built huge sets by the side of the river Saryu, a tributary of the Ganges, just behind the temple, and provided wall-to-wall coverage of the event, some proclaiming the moment of consecration as the start of "Ram Rajya" (Lord Ram's rule) in India.

Hindus celebrated the inauguration in other countries too. Massive billboards of Lord Ram graced Times Square in New York, where a group of devotees braved the freezing weather to gather in the middle of the night.

Temples all across the United Kingdom - where Indians are one of the largest diaspora groups - marked the event. Colourful posters had been shared inviting devotees to honour the occasion and celebrations involved flowers, sweets and music. There were also some celebrations in Muslim-majority Dubai - where Indians are a significant population - but from Indian news reports these appeared more muted than elsewhere.

In 2019, the Supreme Court gave the disputed land to Hindus after a protracted legal battle followed the mosque's demolition. Muslims were given a plot outside the city for a mosque but have yet to build one.

One member of the community the BBC spoke to in Ayodhya ahead of Monday's inauguration agreed that Hindus have the right to build the temple after the Supreme Court gave them the site.

"We did not accept that decision happily, but what can we do," he said. Another man said he was happy Hindus are building the temple - "but we are also sad because it was built after destroying a mosque".

The new three-storey temple - made with pink sandstone and anchored by black granite - stretches across 7.2 acres in a 70-acre complex. A 51-inch (4.25-ft) statue of the deity, specially commissioned for the temple, was unveiled last week. The idol has been placed on a marble pedestal in the sanctum sanctorum.

Thousands of police were deployed for Monday's event, despite Mr Modi having appealed to pilgrims not to turn up and to watch the ceremony on television. In many states a full or half day holiday was called, with schools and colleges closed and stock markets shut.

The build-up to a demolition that shook India

The man who helped Lord Ram win the Ayodhya case

But a sour note was struck with some top religious seers saying that as the temple was not yet complete, it was against Hinduism to perform the rituals there, and many opposition leaders deciding to stay away.

Some opposition-ruled states also announced their own plans for the day - West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she would pray at the iconic temple to goddess Kali in Kolkata and then lead an all-faith rally. The eastern state of Odisha (Orissa) unveiled huge plans to bring pilgrims to the Jagannath temple in Puri, one of the holiest sites for Hindus.

Authorities say they expect more than 150,000 visitors per day once the temple in Ayodhya is fully ready.

To accommodate this expected rush, new hotels are being built and existing ones spruced up as part of a major makeover and in recent weeks, a new airport and railway station have opened.

Officials say they are building a "world-class city where people come as pilgrims and tourists", but many local people have told the BBC that their homes, shops and "structures of religious nature" have been either completely or partially demolished to expand roads and set up other facilities.

609 PSA

this is a PSA i guess..

If you drive down the new jersey turnpike, right at Exit 10 you will see a billboard that says "Stop bigotry against Hindu Americans." The first time I saw this billboard I was with my parents, and I explained to them what I summarize below.

a collage of various billboards around the state. from stopdemocratsbigotry.com

This past August, during the India Day parade in Edison, a bulldozer rolled down the street. 

It was decorated with pictures of Modi and Yogi Adityanath, Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh. The bulldozer is a known symbol of anti-Muslim hate, ever since Adityanath used them to destroy Muslims' homes in UP in 2014 and again as recently as April 2022. Adityanath is a known fascist who has blood on his hands. It's worth googling him.

After the bulldozer was seen in Edison, The New Jersey chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-NJ) and the Indian American Muslim Council (IAMC) issued a public statement against the bulldozer and Anti-Islamic Hindu nationalist ideology, in general. New Jersey Democrats Bob Menendez and Cory Booker spoke publicly in support of CAIR. Then, a group called the Teaneck Democratic Municipal Committee issued a resolution against "Hindu National Hate Groups Operating in New Jersey and Across the United States." In their resolution, they named specific tax-exempt organizations with "direct and indirect"  ties to the RSS. The groups that they named were:

Hindu American Foundation

Sewa International 

Infinity Foundation

Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation

Vishva Hindu Parishad of America

These RSS-affiliated groups responded to the Teaneck resolution with this billboard campaign and website. They re-framed the issue as the Democratic Party discriminating against "Hindu Americans;" completely obstructing their original anti-Muslim act, and their overall violent ideology. Soon after the billboards went live, the New Jersey Democratic State Committee (what even are these groups?) issued an asinine statement about unity and inclusion that dismissed the Teaneck resolution without naming any of the relevant issues of Islamophobia or Hindu fascism.

It's gross seeing these billboards around, it's pathetic seeing the Democratic Party take a non-stance. It's also an accurate representation of how strong the grip of Hindutva ideology is on the Indian community here in New Jersey, and how out of touch municipalities and politicians can be. Just 10 days ago, for example, the Plainsboro library hosted the traveling exhibit "Darshana: A Glimpse into Hindu Civilization." I love the Plainsboro library. In 2022 they got rid of overdue fines, and they have one of the best, open spaces in our community.  I guess nobody told them that the organization responsible for the exhibit is directly linked to Hindutva groups. Or worse, the programming was intentional. Either way, creative, generative interventions, achieved through grassroots and collective organizing, are much needed as Hindu nationalism becomes more visible and influential here in Jersey.

"Mother-Daughter's Death More In News...": Mayawati Slams UP Government

"The 'bulldozer politics' of the BJP government is taking the lives of innocent poor people which is very tragic," Mayawati

Lucknow: Taking a dig at the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh government, BSP chief Mayawati said the death of a mother-daughter duo during an anti-encroachment drive in Kanpur Dehat had garnered more attention than the recent UP Global Investors Summit-2023.

"The 'bulldozer politics' of the BJP government is taking the lives of innocent poor people which is very tragic. The government should change its anti-people approach," she said in a tweet in Hindi.

Bulldozers used for demolishing illegal buildings have been in hot discussion in the state, inviting the sobriquet of "bulldozer Baba" for Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath.

A 45-year-old woman and her 20-year-old daughter died in a fire during an anti-encroachment drive in a village in the Kanpur Dehat district of Uttar Pradesh on Monday, police said.

Mayawati said the tragic incident was in the news than the 'much-publicized' global investors summit organized by the state government recently.

She asked, "How will the people benefit from such a situation?" Police have booked 39 people, including a sub-divisional magistrate, four revenue officials, a police station head, and several other cops, on murder and additional charges in the incident.

"सुखि धेनु सत जुगहि बसाई,

दुखी काल कलि दियो बनाई ।

मृत भई संस्कृति जीवित कीजो,

सत सत गुरुदच्छिन साई दीजो |"

Please read our first blog on Cow as the symbol of Hindu Rashtra.

Mahatma Gandhi once stated, "One may judge a country's greatness and moral advancement by the way it treats its animals. For me, protecting cows entails more than just keeping them safe. It refers to the defence of everyone who is alive, weak, and defenceless throughout the planet. The entire subhuman world is symbolised by the cow.

The cow is a perfect example of the Hindu value of ahimsa, or non-harming, because of her submissive and accepting attitude. Additionally, the cow represents honour, sturdiness, perseverance, maternity, and unselfish service.

In the Hindu Mythology,The cow has also been linked to a number of gods, including Shiva (whose mount is the bull Nandi), Indra (who is closely linked to Kamadhenu, the cow that grants wishes), Krishna (who was a cowherd in his youth), and goddesses in general (because of the maternal attributes of many of them).

The Manu-smirti ("Tradition of Manu"), a religious and ethical law, forbids it in certain passages of the epic Mahabharata, while the milk cow was already described in the Rigveda as being "unslayable." The usage of the panchagavya, or the five byproducts of the cow—milk, curd, butter, pee, and dung—in rituals of healing, purification, and penance, reveals the level of reverence accorded to the animal.

To the Hindu, the cow symbolizes all other creatures. The cow is a symbol of the Earth, the nourisher, the ever-giving, undemanding provider. The cow represents life and the sustenance of life. The cow is so generous, taking nothing but water, grass and grain. It gives and gives and gives of its milk, as does the liberated soul give of his spiritual knowledge. The cow is so vital to life, the virtual sustainer of life, for many humans. The cow is a symbol of grace and abundance. Veneration of the cow instils in Hindus the virtues of gentleness, receptivity.

The cow represents all other creatures to Hindus. The cow is a representation of the Earth, the giver who never stops giving and making no demands. The cow stands for both life and its nutrition. The cow is incredibly kind, only taking water, grass, and grain. It continues to give and give and give of its milk, just as the freed soul continues to give and give of his spiritual wisdom. For many people, the cow serves as the literal sustainer of life. The cow represents beauty and abundance. Hindus are taught the virtues of gentleness and receptivity through the veneration of the cow.

India's politics has been based on this sensitive topic since many years. Specially,in the northern belt,every election is somewhere around this topic. The first law on cow slaughter was stated in Punjab by the Indian National Congress,but the Bhartiya Janta Party gave it the uttermost importance. In Gujrat,the punishment for cow slaughter is seven years or a lifetime imprisonment.

The young people of today are likewise interested in this subject. Cows have been one of the most popular topics in India since 2014 or so. Though they come from diverse political parties and beliefs, leaders like Uttar Pradesh's chief minister Yogi Adityanath, former chief minister Akhilesh Yadav, and up legislator Raghuraj Pratap Singh all share the belief that the cow is the symbol of Hinduism. The young people of India ought to take the cow seriously and show it as much respect as they can. Although many people believe that consuming red meat (specifically beef) can nourish them, doctors from all over the world claim that it really causes a wide range of illnesses. My request is to make the cow the symbol of Hinduism and The Hindu Rashtra 'Bharat.'
