Apart from honouring the unsung heroes, the legacy of the Padma awards seems to be making a cultural, social and global statement as well.
It should be remembered that the history of Ram Janmabhoomi movement is that of rising national consciousness.
But the Ram Mandir issue has shown to the world that when it comes to the core issues of national identity, India thinks alike and its emotion is one and strong.
The demand for building a temple for Lord Rama in Ayodhya has emerged from every nook and corner of the country.
Even an article from the so-called liberal stable which painted the movement as divisive couldn’t stop from mentioning that “almost 200,000 villages sent bricks, 300,000 pujas of the Ram Shilas were performed and altogether about 100 million people attended the various processions that carried the bricks to and from Ayodhya.”
In fact, it is a Tamil Nadu born advocate K Parasaran who has played an important role in the Ayodhya verdict.
Lord Rama inspires to shape the society without any caste discrimination.
