One of the striking features of the contemporary scene is the overall growth of religious revivalism and fundamentalism both in India and elsewhere. India's recent history has been punctuated by intercommunity conflicts, escalating violence, and a heightening of communal consciousness. The intensification of communalism culminating in the demolition of the Babri Mosque at Ayodhya on 6 December 1992, as well as the widespread communal violence that followed, highlighted the potential for using religious symbols to forge communal solidarities. These events also raise questions about the role of the state and government in coping with contentious religious issues, the future of secular values and institutions, and the place of minorities within the parameters laid down by India's constitution
