HIST 1007 : History Final
Document Summary
The speaker is girilal jain, a spokesman for hindu nationalism and the bjp, also editor and chief for delhi times of india. As the book says, even though india gained its" independence and the muslims were given the state of pakistan, religious tensions remained high between the muslims and the hindus. When muslims started to invade india and convert hindus, hindu nationalists created a political party in support of hindu nationalism called the bjp. The party remained a majority from 1996 to 2004. The quote is from an editorial from girilal jain regarding the babri mosque in ayodhya, which was built illegally by muslim invaders. It was on the site of the hindu temple believed to be the birthplace of hindu god ram. Jain recognizes that hindus want to renew themselves and free themselves from westernization, but the muslims are wrapped around western ideals and are trying to bring them to india.
