Ram Temple: What young UP thinks, and why Congress is staying away

General excitement and preparations for the Ram temple

The construction of the Ram temple in Ayodhya has generated a general sense of excitement among the people, with a massive pilgrimage taking shape. Flags are being sold, marketplaces are being decorated, and people are putting flags on their houses. The temple holds deep significance for Hindus, and its construction is seen as a long-awaited dream come true. The excitement is particularly high among upper castes and sections of the other backward castes, while some Dalits express indifference or reservations. Different people have different perspectives on the temple, ranging from sentiments associated with Lord Ram to the idea of Muslims being shown their place, or simply as a manifestation of support for Narendra Modi and Yogi Adityanath.
