Rama and Ayodhya written by Meenakshi Jain - Book Review
from The Historylogy Podcast · host Shinil Subramanian Payamal
From the late 1980s, Left historians have been in the forefront of the campaign against the Rama temple. They have argued that Rama worship was an eighteenth-nineteenth century phenomenon and the present day Ayodhya acquired its standing and identity only in the fifth century AD, during the rule of the imperial Guptas. According to Left academics, the identification of the Ram Janmabhumi in Ayodhya was a matter of faith, not of historical evidence. They also rejected any possibility of the Babri Masjid being built on the site of the Janmabhumi temple.The writings of Left academics, the findings of the ASI, the extended arguments in the Allahabad High Court and its eventual verdict-all form the subject of this study.Order links of the book 'Rama And Ayodhya' below:Amazon India:HardcoverAmazon USA:HardcoverFlipkart:HardcoverAryan Books:HardcoverAnd please don't forget to checkout Historylogy.com for latest book reviews and tidbits from the pages of history.Please feel free to our social media ID's for latest updates.
