http://voiceofdharma.org/books/htemples1/http://voiceofdharma.org/books/htemples2/ i recommend reading these 2 books how a critical role was played by hindu temples for the preservation hindu civilization, not only for worshiping practices but creating a whole ecosystem around them and acting as the back-bone of the indic civilization. The book also talks about how most of them were destroyed and vandalized by the mughals in their attempt make the essence of the indic civilization hollow. This is why Ram-mandir is about our civilizational identity in this world and we should be proud of it.
