Ayhodhya was a political act, but it was also self evidently a religious, and specifically an act that used Hinduism to incite religious violence against others. From it has flowed a river of religious violence in the name of Hinduism deliberately encouraged by people using Hinduism to perpetrate religious and political violence against non-Hindus.
Anyone who claims that violence is not "Hindu" or the perpetrators are not "Hindus" or that it is not being done in the name of "Hinduism" is being disingenuous. It doesn't matter if Muslims farted first, or fart more, or if their farts are more smelly and bringing it up serves only as an attempt at distraction. -- Charles
