Hero of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi, Ashok Singhal.
There was the darkest phase when the freedom to worship one’s own deities, one’s own king was restricted and people were threatened to take up any issue related to the place of birth of their lord, stating it to be an act of communal upheaval. However, the resistance, the continuous struggle to achieve what was ours was continuously going on and there came a day when Hindus were able to reclaim their lost strength and their civilizational pride.
Even during his studies he was actively involved with RSS under the direction of Balasaheb Deoras.

As Ashok Singhal ji’s graduation got completed, he fully dedicated himself with the cause of the nation and dharma. He started to work as full time pracharak around Gorakhpur. He came in contact with Raju Bhaiyya, the professor of Physics in Allahabad Vishwavidyalaya who later became the head of RSS in 1980. During emergency they both were arrested too. As Raju Bhaiya became RSS head, he deputed Ashok ji as the Joint General Secretary of Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP). 4 years later, Ashok ji took the position of General Secretary in VHP.

During 1990 when Lal Krishna Advani was leading the ram Janmabhoomi Rath Yatra, he was arrested in Bihar by Lalu Prasad Yadav as Chief Minister. However, during the political turmoil going on in national politics and games of changing governments, Ashok ji started to mobilise the Hindu Youth for Kar Seva. He was leading the group of Kar Sevaks in Ayodhya, in spite of the restrictions by the Mulayam Singh’s government. The police cracked down the kar-sevaks and thousands of Ram-Bhakts died, and cruelly their bodies were thrown in the Saryu river.

Even in 1992 Dharm Sansad he openly announced that another Kar-seva will be carried out in Ayodhya, and 6th December, 1992 was the day when the great victory arrived for Hindus. Jai Shri Ram!
