Why We Are Not Reporting Minute-By-Minute on the Ram Temple Blitzkrieg

Timeline. is fully aware that the construction of the Ram Temple follows a historical Supreme Court judgment that cleared the path for its establishment at the site where the Babri Masjid once stood. This construction is, in a way, the outcome of a lengthy legal process that also mandated the construction of a mosque in Ayodhya.

The Ram Janmabhoomi Movement played a pivotal role in the demolition of the mosque and the subsequent events leading to the temple”s construction. This movement, along with the questions it raised, went against the secular ethos of India and contributed to the breakdown of the country”s social fabric.

What is currently unfolding, encompassing both the extensive coverage of the January 22 event and the political class seizing an outcome of a Supreme Court verdict, raises concerns at Timeline. We fear that this could further empower majoritarian politics and exacerbate polarization in the country.

Timeline., mindful of these concerns, will not engage in what some media houses have been doing for the past couple of weeks. We will only report information relevant for readers to make informed decisions.

Timeline. is not aligned with the “crowd” on this matter; we stand apart from the prevailing sentiments. In short, we will do journalism, not sycophancy or propaganda.
