On this Special Report, the focus is on the political row erupting as India marks 1,000 years since Mahmud of Ghazni’s first attack on the Somnath Temple. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has penned a blog for the ‘Somnath Swabhiman Parv’, hailing the shrine as a symbol of India’s indomitable spirit and recalling Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel’s role in its restoration. The report highlights the Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) criticism of former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s stance on the temple’s reconstruction in 1951. In response, the Congress party has accused the ruling party of politicizing history to score contemporary points. The programme explores how the ancient shrine continues to shape narratives on secularism and nationhood.
