The 6th of December is a significant date in Indian political history, marked by both the death anniversary of Dr. B R Ambedkar and the demolition of Babri Masjid. This event sparked a shift in Indian politics, with the dominant ideology being Hindutva and the caste-eradicating movement of Mandal being sidelined. Recent petitions for surveys of Muslim places of worship have reignited communal tensions and the Congress party is struggling to effectively respond to the BJP's use of social justice to propel their electoral victories. As the debate continues, questions arise around the validity and implications of the Places of Worship Act enacted during the Ram Janmabhoomi movement.
