The film explores the campaign waged by the Hindu right-wing organisation Vishva Hindu Parishad to build a Ram temple at the site of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, as well as the communal violence that it triggered. A couple of months after Ram ke Naam was released, VHP activists demolished the Babri Masjid in 1992, provoking further violence.

If I tell the truth
They rush to beat me
If I lie they trust me"

o dominio ideologico das massas atraves da fe é uma das principais estrategias da burgesia para legitimacao de massacres e opressoes da classe trabalhadora em prol de acumulo de capital e poder politico, deturpando os ideais de religioes que representam prosperidade e equidade para/com a classe trabalhadora em sua essencia.

Shook me to my core. The extreme power disparity on display here is sickening and devastating to watch, a frenzy of hatred drowning out all reason. The interviewer is largely silent, a simple question is enough to start a ceaseless torrent of hate from the mouths of the Vishva Hindu Parishads. 


The most nauseating section of the documentary was the boys in the youth league of VHP carrying swords, ignorant of even when Lord Ram was to have lived, only hungry for the opportunity for violence against Muslim dissidents the rallies were sure to bring. There was a look in the eyes of the men who destroyed Babri Masjid I hope to never see in my life again.
