INDIA, January 25, 2024 (Hindustan Times): Francois Gautier is a truly vindicated man today. For him, the consecration of the Ram temple in Ayodhya on January 22 is a dream come true. “It was great. I was reporting the temple-masjid issue in the late 1980s and early 1990s and I could never have imagined that a day would come when such a grand temple would be built at that site in Ayodhya,” Gautier told this reporter. This French journalist, an Indophile and avid supporter of all causes Hindu much before it became fashionable to do so, credits Prime Minister Narendra Modi for consecration of the Ram temple.

“After nearly 15 centuries of bloody invasions, enslavement, razing of millions of temples, the inauguration of the Ram Mandir symbolized the return of a united Hindu psyche. For long, Indians had a confused identity of themselves: British colonization left a deep imprint on the Indian mind, which started to think that everything good comes from the West,” the journalist, who is building a private museum in Pune, the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Museum of Indian History (CSMMIH), which he founded in 2012 under the banner of his not-for-profit organization, the Foundation For Advancement of Cultural Ties, said.
