This volume is essential reading for those who want to know why a religious issue so dominates the political landscape of a modern, resurgent nation in the 21st century. The politics, the legality and the morality of those who would make Ayodhya an epitaph for the vibrant democracy that is India is what this compilation of CR Irani's writings lay bare.

Religion vs Politics,
This review is from: Ayodhya: Demolishing a Dream (Hardcover)
This book is by the Editor-in-chief of the Statesman, Cushrow Russy Irani who recently died of kidney failure at Kolkata on Saturday, 23rd July 2005.Irani spearheaded the growth of the Statesman in the post-Independence era. Known for his defiance during Emergency, he will be remembered as among the few journalists who stood up against the policies of the Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.
In this book, Mr. C.R.Irani, the Author has commented on national and international affairs with rare frankness and objectivity which has often embarrassed the high and mighty and vested interests.This volume is a collection of nearly 80 selected editorials and `Caveats' written since December 6, 1992, when Babri Masjid at Ayodhya was pulled down by Kar Sewaks. The pieces cover more than a decade marked by changing positions of leaders, who remain unfazed by the contradictions in their statements. The collection begins with C.R.Irani's `Caveat' in the issue of December 7, 1992, a day after the demolition, and after wending its way through the events related to Ayodhya, ends with another `Caveat' in the issue of September 28, 2003,dealing with Murli Manohar Joshi's resignation after the framing of charges against him and six others by a Rae Bareli court in the demolition case. If you are interested in Religion & Politics, here is a book that co-relates the facts that harness the image of a democratic nation.
