Politics and consecration
Nobody would object to the consecration of the Ram Mandir if it had only a religious angle to it. But that cannot be said of the present inauguration. It has a lot of political overtones with the emphasis on Hindutva, which is not conducive to the secular credentials of the Constitution. A divisive India is not good either for Hindus or Muslims or others. Therefore, the rejoicing has to be kept low.
