Hindu Temples: What Happened to Them (Set of 2 Volumes)

I take this opportunity to record the story of how the first edition of this book came to be compiled and published in April 1990.

The Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), founded in 1964, had been discussing the question of claiming on behalf of Hindus the Ramajamabhumi site at Ayodhya since its first public session in 1966. The issue was placed before the country by the VHP in a largely attended public meeting held at Delhi in 1978. I*n April 1978, the VHP sponsored Dharma Samsad comprising Sadhus and Mahatmas from all over the country launched a movement to liberate the site.
