6 December Ram Mandir Significance: In India’s history, 6 December is a date no Hindu can ever forget. This day is not only significant from a religious perspective, but it is also seen as a symbol of Hindu resistance, courage, and the triumph of justice. What is it about this day that triggers a fresh political debate every year as the date approaches? Let us understand the entire matter in detail…
A Glimpse Into History
It was the year 1528… when the temple built at the birthplace of our revered Lord Shri Ram in Ayodhya was destroyed by Muslim invaders, and the Babri Masjid was constructed in its place. From that moment until 1992, for several generations, the Hindu community waited for restoration of its religious rights.
But on 6 December 1992, that wait finally came to an end. Instead of waiting endlessly for justice, thousands of Hindus gathered and claimed what they believed was rightfully theirs. Many individuals sacrificed their lives, future, and identities to inscribe their names permanently into the pages of history. Within this long struggle, the firing of 30 October 1990, the martyrdom of the Kothari brothers, and several other sacrifices remain unforgettable milestones.
The Present Context
Even today, some people view the demolition of the Babri Masjid merely as an “illegal act.” But the truth is that a temple was first destroyed, and only then was the mosque built. This fact has also been affirmed by the Supreme Court of India.
The Constitution Bench of the Supreme Court unanimously ruled—based on historical, archaeological, and literary evidence—that a temple pre-existed the mosque.
Former CJI D. Y. Chandrachud had clearly stated: “The temple was demolished first, and the mosque was built thereafter.”
Impact After the Supreme Court Verdict
Even after the verdict, a few clerics and opposition groups continued saying, “Today it is yours, tomorrow it will be ours.” But 6 December sends a clear message that the Sanatan civilization is not timid. If necessary, it will stand again for its rights.
Victory Always Belongs to Truth
The grand Ram Temple standing in Ayodhya today is not merely a construction of stones and architecture. The flag fluttering atop it carries the memories of centuries of struggle and sacrifice. The temple has become a symbol of renaissance and the triumph of justice. History, archaeology, literature, and the Supreme Court’s authenticity collectively reaffirm that truth ultimately prevails. Injustice cannot survive for long.
The significance of 6 December is not confined to an incident from the past — it is a powerful message even today for every Hindu:
Never step back from protecting your faith, culture, and rights. The day teaches us that Hindus should feel pride, not hesitation.
Because nothing wrong happened on that day — what happened was the correction of a long-standing wrong.
Today, the Ram Temple is not just the pride of Ayodhya, but a symbol of the victory of faith and justice across India. It will remind future generations that safeguarding dharma, culture, and truth is never in vain.
Jai Shri Ram.
