From https://ramnahinsikhata.org:

On the 22nd of January 2024, we stand witness to the culmination of the right-wing movement that began decades ago with the rallying cry to demolish the Babri Masjid. Many of us stand in opposition to the tenets of this ideology.

This campaign emphasizes that our dissent will persist, we shall continue to believe in our idea of a plural, diverse India and actively work towards building a future where all communities coexist in harmony.
