1. Ravana: 1700s, South India

2. Rama: Late 1500s or 1600s, South India

The Ramayana narrates the adventures of prince Rama, who was banned trom the kingdom of Ayodhya after a successful plot against him. Later, his wife Sita was abducted by Ravana, the demon king of Lanka (1). This ivory figure once carried a different weapon in each of his many hands. In the second ivory carving, probably once part of a shrine, Rama sits in a despondent mood after Sita's abduction, while his brother Lakshmana stands loyally by his side (2).

 

3 Hanuman

With the help of the monkey-hero Hanuman, depicted here, the demon king Ravana was eventually defeated. Sita was rescued and, along with her husband Rama and his brother Lakshmana, returned to Ayodhya where Rama was crowned. On this plaque Hanuman carries the magic plant that cured Lakshmana, who was wounded on the battlefield. Hanuman, who became Rama's most faithful devotee, is worshipped and admired for his strength and loyalty.

 

4 Rama

Upon their return to Ayodhya, doubts were raised about Sita's chastity after her long stay with the demon king Ravana. Her husband Rama, under pressure from the public, banished her from his kingdom. This act unleashed a tragic chain of events that overshadowed the last years of his life. Although Rama is an incarnation of the supreme Hindu god Vishnu, he has become a deity in his own right and is worshipped as the ideal king and the epitome of righteousness.

 

SIKHISM, LIFE AT COURT AND THE ART OF STORYTELLING

1600-1900

Sikhism originated in the Punjab region of South Asia around 1500. It was founded by Guru Nanak and is based on his teachings, along with those of the nine Sikh gurus that followed him. The Sikh place of worship is called a gurdwara. Here, the Guru Granth Sahib scriptures are recited and food and shelter is offered to all.

A Sikh kingdom was established in the Punjab in 1801. Other surrounding kingdoms in Rajasthan and the Punjab Hills were governed by Rajput rulers. The complex interactions between Rajput rulers and Mughal emperors from the late 1500s onwards resulted in the development of great traditions of painting exploring courtly, romantic and mythological themes. Beyond the court, storytelling has been an integral part of South Asian culture for millennia.

 

SOUTH ASIA

South Asia includes the countries of India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The region is home to numerous ancient and modern languages, such as Sanskrit, Tamil, Hindi and Urdu. The many religions practised there include the Hindu, Buddhist, Jain, Islamic, Sikh and Christian faiths.

The cultural diversity of South Asia has produced some of the world's greatest art, architecture, literature and music. This gallery explores South Asia's history, from 1.5 million years ago to the present day. Trade, exchange, migration and political power are some of the themes examined here.

Khudai Khidmatgar organized a camp in Ayodhya Dec 23-25. Around 55

participants from eight states attended the leadership camp. The program

included "parbhat pheri" from Ayodhya Railway Station to Saryu river and

"sharm-daan" at Saryu Ghat.

WHEN COMMUNALISM IS THE ENEMY, IT IS A CRIME NOT TO FIGHT! 16.10.03 Friends, .

Tomorrow is the day that the vandals of the Sangh Giroh have chosen to stage their fascistic spectacle ..

Ayodhya. With th~ full complicity of t~e Central government, the RS~-8JP-VHP has car:ied out the most vitriol~~.

communal campa1gn around the VHP s Ram Darshan programme-with Praveen Togad1a going to the extent ofthreatening communal riots if tomorrow's unla~~l assem_bly is prevented. That such thre~ts can be made with impunityshows the grave danger that the hold of a fasc1s11c force like the RSS on state power enta1ls.What is remarkable is the Jack of any significant oppositi_on to these communal campaigns by the principal ' oppositional platform-the Congress. Rather, as the Asse~bly elec~1o~s approach, the Congress seems to be competingwith the BJP in terms of mobilising people on commun~l hnes. vyh1le m Madhya Pradesh, it is trying to tum the electioninto a ~ussle between Digvajay Singh an? Uma Bharat1on who 1s the more ~evout of_the two, in Kerala the Congresscampaigned for the recent by-elections w1th photographs of A.K. Antony hand In hand w1th Praveen Togadia..

The Congress's v~cillation .on the issue of secu~arism stems u~timat?IY from the fact that it faces immense popular.

discontent as a result of 1ts pursu1t of th~ sam~ neo-hber~l ec~nom1c pol1c1es that the NDA government at the Centreespouses. As residents of Delhi we are d1rect w1tne~s of th1s ant_1-~eople character of Congress governments. If over thepast months we have had to spend hours at an end 1n the dark,_ 1t IS because of the Delhi Government's disastrous policy.

of power 'reforms' whose only beneficiaries have been the pnvate transmission and distribution companies which are.

reaping a bounty at the cost of the people and the public exchequer. Even then we are lucky that unlike the residents ofthe slums of our city we are not at the mercy of private contractors and their henchmen for our power supply. The DelhiGovernment has made all efforts to drive the poor out of our city under the guise of pollution control, but when it comes tothe Delhi Master Plan's own commitment of prov.iding 16 lakh working class dwellings by 2002, it has failed miserably.Chief Minister Dixit will be visiting our campus tonight. We ask her, as part ofthe people ofDelhi, why her party should bevoted back to power given this record of anti~people policies?The dread of this question, asked by lakhs of people across the country, is driving the Congress's efforts to dividethe people on communal lines. As long as it continues with its support to the policies of liberalisation and globalisatlonthe congress cannot offer any consistently secular alternative to the RSS-BJP. Even in our own campus the NSUI.

'~.

opportunistic alliances with communal forces is only a reflection of its lack of commitment on student issues and itssupport to the policies of privitasation and commercialisation of education. The latter has been reiterated by NSUI'sCouncillor candidates in the forthcoming JNUSU elections who in the recent SSS and SIS GBMs spoke in favour of feehikes and privatisation..

It is unfortunate that the lack of activism on student issues has forced a self-declared progressive organisationlike the AISA to follow the ideological line of the NSUI. It is with shock that one read AISA's pamphlet of yesterday.

attacking the formation of the Janata government in 1977. Does the AISA, just like the NSUI, believe that continuation of.

the Emergency and the authoritarian Congress rule would have been a better alternative? Failing to present any positiveagenda before the student community{ the AISA is resorting to spreading lies like claiming that the SFI-AISF has struck a.

compromise with the ABVP on the 10 h August incident. The AISA's so-called 'compromise deed' is a document, signedwith the knowledge of the last EC, to prevent police intervention in the last JNUSU polls. SFI-AISF activists includingJNUSU office-bearers continue to face harassment at the hands of the Delhi Police because of false FIRs filed by theABVP. They could secure their freedom only by furnishing bail bonds and have to repeatedly attend court hearings. Onthe other hand, the Police under the control of the Union Home Ministry, remains inactive on the complaints of the victims.

of 1oth August. .

Fighting communalism cannot be reduced to the expression. of pious intentions that do not find reflections in anystruggles. We call upon the student community to rally behind the SFI-AISF to carry forward the fight against the fascisticdesians of the RSS-VHP-ABVP .

The entrance gate to the Hanuman Temple

Credit: InOldNews

 

Description: The 42nd India Day Parade in New York City was held on August 18th, 2024.

 

Thousands of people gathered to watch the floats and performances.

 

A controversial float depicting the Ram Mandir was also included in the lineup. The Ram Mandir is a temple that was inaugurated in India in early 2024. It was built on the site of an ancient mosque which was demolished by a religious mob in 1992. The mob was mobilised by influential politicians by stoking anti-muslim sentiment across the country.

 

In the lead-up to the India Day Parade, multiple U.S.-based organisations protested against the inclusion of the Ram Mandir float. Groups protesting included the Council on American Islamic Relations, the Indian American Muslim Council and Hindus for Human Rights.

 

Following the protest, New York City’s mayor Eric Adams also condemned the float.

 

In response, the organisation behind the float, Vishwa Hindu Parishad of America (also known as World Hindu Council of America), released a statement saying that the design of the float was not intended to target any religious group.

61h December is the death anniversary of Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar, the relentless crusader against Brahmlnical caste oppression and the chief architect of the Indian Constitution. And, it is also on 6'h December that Sangh Parivar mobs demolished the Sabri Masjid in Ayodhya 18 years ago. Babasaheb spent his entire life fighting for an egalitarian and secular India, fighting against the very social forces that the Sangh Parivar represents. It is probably no coincidence that the Sangh Parivar chose Babasaheb's Mahaparinlrban day as the occasion on which to orchestrate this horrific, shameful and blatant attack on India's democratic and secular fabric. .

Since the horrific demolition of the Sabri Masjid, we 11ave time and again seen the RSS·BJP-VHP combine wreck havoc in the country, through a sustained campaign of violence and communal hate mongering. Immediately after the demolition of the mosque (which itself was the culmination of Advani's communal Rath Yatra that left a bloody trial wherever rt went all over the country), these communal fascist goons orchestrated riots across the country. In Mumbai alone, at least a thou-sand people were killed in the riots in December 1992 and January 1993 (according to the oHicial data, which is definitely a gross underestimate). Ten years later, in February 2002, the Sangh Parivar implemented one of the worst communal genocides in India's history. Thousands of Muslims in Gujarat were raped and killed, with the ruling SJP government overseeing this communal pogrom. And in Augu~t 2008, the Sangh Parivar started yet another genocide which lasted several months-this time targeting Christians in Kandhamal, Orissa. .

The Sabri Masjid demolition, the Gujarat riots and the Kandhamal massacre are merely the highlights of the Hindutva brigade's communal campaign which is constantly at work. Since 1925, when the RSS was formed, this campaign has been continuously trying to spread hatred. intolerance and violence against minority communities. They do not lose a single opportunity (and in tact they manufacture opportunities!) to spread their communal message-so much so that the communal 'commonsense' peddled by them has become deeply ingrained not just in our society. but also in our political and social institutions which are supposed to safeguard India's democratic and secular ethos. .

It is now 18 years since the Babri Masjid was demolished-and the perpetrators of this crime are yet to be punished. The Liberhan commission came out with its belated report indicting some BJP and Sangh leaders, but even after the report was tabled, the UPA Government has done nothing to ensure justice for the demolition. Similarly, the main perpetrators of the Bombay riots of 1992·93 have escaped justice, and are still roaming free to spread their venomous communal message. Successive Congress governments in Maharashtra have shamefully failed to act on the recommendations of the Srikrishna Commission which has indicted not just BJP and Shiv Sena leaders but several police officers and other representatives of the state. .

Earlier this year, the Allahabad High Court came out with a stunning verdict in the Ramjanambhoomi-Babri Masjid case -stating wilhout any conclusive evidence that the contested land was the birth place of 'Ram lalla Virajman'! Bydismissing the claim of the Sunni Waqf Board, the Allahabad HC essentially legalized. justified and strengthened the very ideological basis of 'belief' which led to several patently illegal acts such as the installation of Ram idols within the Sabri Masjid premises and the demolition of the mosque in 1992. Thi.? verdict has set an extremely dangerous precedent in the country, wherein legal disputes can be solved on the dubiO!!S...P.Oiitically-motivated clajms of 'belief and 'faith', rather than on the .

basis of facts and evidence! And in yet again instance, the Special Investigation Team (SID appointed by the Supreme Court to look into the role of the Gujarat government in the Gujarat riots has g'iven_a clean chit to the Narendra Modi -despite ample evidence to the contrary. Clearly, the rot runs deep-and with even the so-called secular forces like the Congress indicted in this project of destroying our secular fabric, the challenge in front of the secular and democratic forces in tl1e country is formidable. Today, exactly 18 years after the demolition of the Sabri Masjid, and as a tribute to Babasahed Ambedkar and his attempts to institutionalize democratic and secular values in India, let us pledge never to forgive and never to forget the Sabri demolition, the Gujarat riots and other communal genocides. 6ltl December 1992, February· March 2002 and August 25lll 2008 are remainders for what these communal fascist forces are capable of. They should serve not just as remainders, but also as warnings to the democratic sections in society for what can happen if they do not give a fitting rebuff to these communal forces. Tonight, as we commemorate Sabasaheb's secular legacy, AISA 1nvites you to a film screening tonight (December 6th) from 9.30 pm onwards at Ganga hostel, where Anand Patwardhan's famous film 'Father Son and Holy War' witl be screened.
