Temple Tainted: India's Ram Temple Scandal Exposes Dark Underbelly of Hindu Nationalism India's grand Ram temple, consecrated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2024 after decades of controversy, has been rocked by a scandal that reveals the seedy side of Hindu nationalism.
The trust overseeing the temple's finances, established by Modi's government to build the structure on the site of a demolished mosque, has overhauled its leadership following allegations of millions of rupees being stolen from donations.
The construction of this temple was touted as one of Modi's party's biggest achievements.
