Why is Ayodhya railway junction renamed as Ayodhya Dham?

By MindStick

For several reasons, the Ayodhya railway junction was recently renamed Ayodhya Dham junction:

Hindu community has renamed Ayodhya, meaning "abode" or "holy place," in honor of Lord Rama's birthplace, reflecting their profound religious beliefs.

The BJP government renamed the station to appeal to its Hindu voter base and reinforce its ties to the Ayodhya temple controversy.

Some argue that renaming Ayodhya after Hinduism ignores other religious communities and overshadows the city's rich historical & cultural heritage.

Hence, it has sparked a religious, political, and developmental discussion, raising concerns about India's inclusion and secularism.
