Synopsis


22 December 1949: A conspiracy that began with the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi culminated in the execution of the Ayodhya strategy. Late that night, a little-known sadhu, Abhiram Das, and his followers entered the Babri Masjid and planted an idol of Rama inside it. While it is known that the Hindu Mahasabha had a role in placing the idol in the mosque, the larger plot and the chain of events that led to that act have never been subject to rigorous scrutiny. Krishna Jha and Dhirendra K. Jha bring together the disparate threads of the buried narrative for the first time. Ayodhya: The Dark Night uncovers, in vivid detail, what really transpired on the fateful night that was to leave a permanent scar on the Indian polity.

This book written by our ex Prime Minister Shri P V Narasimha Rao does a great job of depicting the events leading to the demolition of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

Goodreads review by Rajat

After finding that the book is authored by P V Narasimha Rao, the Prime Minister of India when Ayodhya's debacle happened, not many will take this book seriously.
