In the second webinar of the five-part series dedicated to the upcoming Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Dr. Sudhansu Trivedi, a member of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), delved deeper into the history of the temple.
The parliamentarian took the participants on a deep dive into the journey of the temple's construction and its broader impact on Indian society. He delved into the challenges faced by the Hindu society over the past centuriesparticularly emphasizing the resilience exhibited during the 70-year legal battle post-independence.
The webinar sought to delve into the history, whilst recognizing the spiritual and emotional connection the temple holds for millions of Hindus worldwide.Outlining the fundamental differences between Western and Indian perspectives on history, Trivedi said, “In the West, history is seen as a branch of knowledge providing exact details and timing of past events. However, in the Indian context, history is viewed as a means to understand past events, helping establish moral values in society today.”
Citing historical evidence of Lord Ram's global influence, he further said, “Moving beyond the historical aspect, the impact of Lord Ram extends globally. From Indonesia to Thailand, South Korea to Honduras, his influence transcends boundaries of religion, civilization, and culture.”
Trivedi briefed the participants on the historical evidence supporting Lord Ram's birthplace by sharing references from foreign travelers, archaeological findings, and the court's acknowledgment of the disputed structure. He refuted claims of the absence of archaeological evidence and stressed the reliance on documentary and literary sources to establish historical truths.
As the webinar progressed, Trivedi shared detailed historical accounts, debunking myths and shedding light on critical events leading up to the construction of the Ram Mandir.
