Babri Masjid - Ayodhya | Archival film from before and after Babri Masjid demolition

LK Advani, then President of BJP: We are all one and when we are all one whether you call it a Bharatiya Rashtra or an Indian Rashtra or a Hindu Rashtra. Whatever you call it irrespective of your religion, our culture is the same, our heritage is the same..." The senior politician of the BJP further says Babur was an invader and not part of the heritage in the later part of this film.

Politicians and religious leaders of both the religions involved in the Babri Masjid dispute express their understanding and point of view in front of the camera and why and why not the Babri Masjid should be demolished. This was before the fateful day on December 6, 1992, when the RSS and VHP led Kar Sevaks held the Babri Masjid under siege and demolishing the centuries-old masjid.

Speeches from various political leaders from the major political parties are recorded in this rare footage. Former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on his arrest on the way to Ayodhya. Mass rally speeches delivered by then VHP leader Acharya Dharmendra can be seen here. Muslim religious leaders and their view on the of the Babri Masjid dispute.

A series of brief interviews with citizens who are affected by the communal tensions and incidents in different parts of Uttar Pradesh. The labourers and layman frozen in shock and fear over the incidents express their insecurity and their fear for their own safety. While some express the credibility of the Ram Temple at the site of the Babri Masjid before the Masjid was built. A farmer claims that Muslims did not respect Hindus and hence the outcome was expected. While a bangle seller says it is a conspiracy that there was a Ram Temple before Babri Masjid was built.

Archival footage of the incidents before and during the Babri Masjid demolition. The communal incidents and the masses chanting 'Jai Shri Ram', armed with sticks and homemade and everyday objects as weapons, thousands march and come face to face with the police.

Rare footage of the unpleasant encounters between members of the two religious groups and the destruction of property. Hundreds Kar Sevaks climbing the dome of the Babri Masjid in broad daylight and the very act of demolishing the dome caught on tape.

Syed Shahabuddin also speaks.
