<p><b>'A sensational book' <i>India Today</i></b></p><p><b>A shocking exposé of the event that changed Indian politics forever</b></p><p>P. V. Narasimha Rao was the prime minister of India when, on 6 December 1992, thousands of <i>kar sevaks</i> stormed into the site of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. The nation watched in horror as the centuries-old mosque was razed to the ground, in the presence of paramilitary forces and senior political leaders, marking a turning point in post-Independence Indian history. </p><p>Many hold Rao responsible for not preventing the demolition, while others accuse him of being a co-conspirator. In this tell-all account, Rao reveals what really transpired in the run-up to that fateful day. Drawing on the Supreme Court order, parliamentary proceedings, eyewitness reports and his own insights, he presents a comprehensive view of the machinations that led to the demolition of the Babri Masjid. </p><p>Nearly three decades after the event, <i>Ayodhya: 6 December 1992</i> remains a valuable resource to understanding the political manoeuvres behind the Ram Mandir issue and the dangers of exploiting religious sentiments for narrow electoral gains. </p>
