TL;DR Summary

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi presided over the inauguration of the Ram Mandir, a new temple built on the site of an ancient mosque torn down by a Hindu mob in 1992, marking a significant event for many Hindus but also symbolizing Modi's vision for India's future. Since coming to power in 2014, Modi has worked to replace India's secular democracy with a Hindu sectarian state, revoking autonomy in Jammu and Kashmir, implementing biased citizenship and immigration rules, and suppressing critical speech. The construction of the temple is a culmination of this agenda, reflecting the erosion of Indian democracy and the rise of Hindu nationalism under Modi's leadership.
