Hi all...Despite the Faizabad administration not allowing placards inside Ayodhya, we held the 27th August #NoToHatred and #NotInMyName successfully in Ayodhya...Here is the Facebook post with all 9 videos of the program, held inside a temple premises in Ayodhya...We were told that ''you cannot take the name of a Muslim in Ayodhya" etc...But, as you shall see in the videos, along with fighters of Hindu origin, we took the name of Muslim martyrs of 1857 in Ayodhya as well...openly...Most men and boys you see in the video are from Awadh...quite a few of them were in BJP...but consistent work by 1857 Nationalist Forum and Kisan Kranti Dal has made entire units of BJP youth activists switch over...the appeal of Sanatan Dharma and composite culture--Ganga-Yamuni Tehzeeb--of Awadh and UP is too strong an appeal to resist...I do not believe in preaching to the converted...I might have written the film 'Bulett Raja' and two volumes of 'War of Civilisations: 1857 AD'; but what good is that work if it does not translate into an alternative narrative of nationalism that can challenge RSS ideologically, politically, and above all, emotionally, on the ground?The failure of the entire anti-BJP political class has forced us writers to hit the heat and dust of street politics...that too of UP...But I belong to the State...these are my people...It is civil society Vs fascism now...If they go on for temple construction in Ayodhya--which CM Yogi will begin from 6th December 2017 to mark 25 years of Babri Masjid demolition--then we have an alternate issue ready: free Kuber Teela, the site where Hindu-Muslim martyrs were hanged on 18th March 1858. Kuber Teela is currently part of the acquired land which includes make-shift 'Ram temple'...Let there be a fight between 1857 Nationalism Vs religo-fascist-cultural nationalism...let's see who wins...Criticism and feedback is welcome; but please don't belittle our effort by calling us 'too small' etc in front of Sangh Parivar...Amaresh MisraPresident, Kisan Kranti Dal (KKD)National Convener, 1857 Nationalist Forum91-9910924012
