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.

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.
