This week, Newslaundry’s Abhinandan Sekhri, Raman Kirpal and Jayashree Arunachalam are joined by Business Standard consulting editor Radhika Ramaseshan.

On Ram temple’s inauguration in Ayodhya, the panel spotlights the movement’s role in the Sangh and the BJP’s journey, and its impact on Uttar Pradesh politics. Radhika shares insights on the peak of the movement that led to Babri mosque demolition from her time as a political reporter in UP. 

The panel discusses Ram temple inauguration’s response across the country, and if it’s all about Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Jayashree throws light on whether there is any “real currency” for it in the southern states. 

Raman and Radhika revisit the times when the media reported the ground realities despite the precarious situations. Raman says, “It is not happening now.”

This and a lot more. Do tune in!
