In the Name of God (Raam Ke Naam) (PG*)

Rewriting the Rules

A statue of a folder stands with a flag in its head.

This provocative documentary by Anand Patwardhan explores the intense and turbulent socio-political landscape of India in the early 1990s.  

Focusing on the Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi controversy – in which Hindus claimed the right to demolish an existing mosque in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh and build a temple on the same site – it probes the rise of Hindu nationalism and its devastating impact on communal harmony.  

Patwardhan intercuts interviews with activists, political leaders, and common people to present a gripping narrative that critiques the manipulation of religious sentiments for political gain, a mainstay of today’s right wing Hindu nationalist government. His film sheds light on the historical and cultural significance of the conflict but also critiques the role of media and politicians in inciting violence expressly against the marginalised lower castes and increasingly isolated Muslim communities.
