The real reason the Ram Janmabhoomi movement is dead is because it was never about the temple. Shourie had absolutely no clue what he was talking about that afternoon in Baroda. It was against the mosque. Once the vandals flattened it, their passions faded. Hindutva is a negative movement. I cannot stress this enough. It is against Muslims. It offers nothing constructive to Hindus. Its substance is bitterness and resentment. That the prime minister professes it as his ideology is something you must never let go of, particularly when he makes inclusive sounding speeches in Britain (though, unsurprisingly, never in Bihar).

A Gujarati, the young Narendra Modi (then 40), supervised Advani’s brilliant rath yatra starting at Somnath in September 1990. How did he so easily eclipse his mentor? Today Advani cuts a pathetic figure and is unable to assert himself within the Hindutva movement. Why? Because in any ideology based on hatred, on negativism, the progenitor is always vulnerable to the man who positions himself to his right. Modi was able to do that. Cometh the hour in 2002, cometh the man.
