International media reports indicate a deep connection between Modi's government and the mission to establish India as a Hindu nation, evidenced by the campaign initiated after Modi came to power in 2014 and the pivotal role played by the Ram Temple.
On the other hand, several other political parties in India, exposing Modi's political ploy, have declined to participate in the temple's inauguration ceremony.
Prominent temple leaders and pundits have also refrained from attending, categorizing the temple's inauguration as non-secular.
It is noteworthy that extremist Hindus had demolished the Babri Masjid in 1992, resulting in the martyrdom of thousands of protesting Muslims.
