In December 1949, an idol of Rama was mysteriously placed inside the Babri Masjid at Ayodhya with the active connivance of the then district magistrate of Faizabad K.K.Nayar and city magistrate Guru Dutt Singh, and the site was virtually taken over by Sadhus for some time. Nehru was furious and told Gobind Ballabh Pant, the then Chief Minister of the United Provinces under which present day UP fell, to have the idol removed and restore peace. But the die was cast and the district magistrate expressed helplessness in the matter for fear of large-scale communal violence. Pant conveyed the message to Nehru who argued the Babri Masjid conflagration could impact larger politics such as that of Kashmir which already was already on the boil.

Subsequently, the main state actors, the district magistrate and city magistrate, who secretly facilitated the placement of the idol of Rama in the Babri Masjid joined the Jana Sangh, the political wing of the Sangh Parivar launched in 1951.

The larger point the above episode illustrates is that the RSS has done a remarkable job with its covert operations through the past many decades. The communalisation of parts of the state apparatus was a reality then, and a reality now. I deliberately cited the example of Babri Masjid to illustrate this point because it continued to test the resilience of the Indian state and its secular Constitution over the next 60 years. The issue is alive even today as it finds mention in the BJP’s manifesto.
