Question:

What was the purpose of the Karseva organized in December 1992?

Options:

To provide voluntary services for building the Ram temple.

To hold religious ceremonies at the disputed site.

To protest against the construction of the Ram Temple.

To conduct archaeological excavations at Ayodhya.

Correct Answer:

To provide voluntary services for building the Ram temple.

Explanation:

Karseva was organized for the purpose of building the Ram temple through voluntary service.

In December of 1992, the entities advocating for the construction of the temple orchestrated a Karseva, a term denoting the voluntary service extended by devotees, with the objective of erecting the Ram temple. The atmosphere had grown tense not only across the nation but also particularly in Ayodhya. At this juncture, the Supreme Court issued an order to the State government, urging them to ensure the safety of the disputed site. Nevertheless, on the 6th of December 1992, a multitude of individuals converged in Ayodhya from various corners of the country and proceeded to dismantle the mosque. This event triggered a series of confrontations between the Hindu and Muslim communities in numerous regions nationwide. Subsequently, the eruption of violence in Mumbai in January of 1993 marked the commencement of a persisting turmoil that lasted over a span of two weeks.
