In the Name of God focuses on the campaign waged by the militant World Hindu Organization (VHP) to destroy a 16th century mosque in Ayodhya said to have been built by Babar, the first Mughal Emperor of India. The VHP claims the mosque was built at the birth site of the Hindu god Ram after Babar razed an existing Ram temple. They are determined to build a new temple to Ram on the same site, culminating in the mosque's destruction by the Hindus in December of 1992.
Filmed prior to the mosque's demolition, In the Name of God (Ram Ke Naam) is an important and telling comment on the rath yatra, on the political cynicism that went into the making of that event, and the communal fallout it produced
