'Not for critique': museum planned near India's grand Ram temple will 'skip' site's history of sectarian violence, official says
Briefly

Redevelopment plans for the Ram Katha Museum in Ayodhya, dedicated to Lord Ram, reveal an intent to explore a Hindutva perspective on Ram's narrative. Scheduled to open in 2025, the museum is situated close to the contentious Ram temple complex, which was constructed after the demolition of the Babri mosque in 1992, an event that triggered significant violence. Critics highlight the museum may ignore the complex history and violence associated with this location, such as the societal clashes that led to numerous fatalities, primarily among Muslims during the riots that followed the mosque's demolition.
The Ram Katha Museum, scheduled to open in 2025, aims to present a Hindutva-driven narrative about Ram, while likely ignoring the violent events surrounding its location.
The museum is positioned near the contentious Ram temple, and its management aims to create an immersive experience that overlooks historical conflicts related to the site.
