Coming as a good news for every Indian, the construction of the Ram Temple is going to be initiated in four months, Home Minister Amit Shah assured the Hindu community across the world that “Construction of the sky- touching-grand Ram Temple in Ayodhya would be initiated in four months,” he said while campaigning in Pakur, Jharkhand. MP Subramanian Swamy, who is handling the ram temple issue after VHP’s Ashok Singhal died, has also assured about the same.

Notably, on 9th December 2019, the Supreme Court of India in its historic judgement had given the title rights of the 2.77 acre land in question to the Ram Janmabhoomi nyas, essentially paving way for a Ram temple on the site which is considered as the birthplace of Bhagwan Ram in India. In the Judgement, the Apex court had also directed the executive to allot 5 acres of land to the Muslim side in Ayodhya for construction of a Mosque. The judgement had been accepted and welcomed by both the Muslim and Hindu side as it ended a long-drawn issue of contention between the two communities. The Sunni Waqf Board had also rejected any possibility of a review petition against the Judgement.
The Ram Janambhoomi movement had gathered steam in the mid-twentieth century, however, what kept the Ram Mandir movement alive since the late 1980s till the pronouncement of the apex court verdict has been BJP’s continuous and effective activism. The BJP had adopted the Ram Mandir issue as a central tenet of its ideology in the 1989 Palampur resolution. During this Resolution, the party had stated, “According to all available records, Mughal emperor Babar visited Ayodhya in 1528, destroyed the temple situated at the site believed to be Rama-Janmasthan, and constructed a mosque in its place.” The Ram Mandir movement got a headstart in the 1980s when the VHP, the RSS and the BJP galvanized a huge campaign for the restoration of the Ram Mandir, the Rajiv Gandhi government opened the gates of the premises once again, fearing an electoral loss due to mass resentment among the Hindus.
Shri Ram Mandir will attract tourists from all over the world and hence will create ample job opportunities directly or indirectly. With a tag of becoming major economy booster, Janmabhumi temple will employ railways, taxis, hotels, restaurants, tourist guides, local flowers/fruits/sweets vendors. Like Tirupati and other innumerable temples, hopefully, Ram Mandir too will have a Gaushala for offering prasad to apple of Hindus’ eyes, our beloved Ram Lala. Everyone is bound to become content, just like in Ram Rajya.
