Each of the three parties – Sunni Wakf Board, Nirmohi Akhara and Ram Lalla Virajman – has identified its own comfort zone in the grand claim for Ayodhya.
I began yelling, but was suddenly clubbed from behind. I fell to the ground. My notebook was wrestled from my hand. A sandal-clad foot stomped on my glasses.
L.K. Advani and his partymen have not discovered a new liberal approach to politics. Just like the Congress, they have also figured that India’s politics has changed.
Piyush was about celebration—of life, of people, of stories. He believed that what we create can shape popular culture, can make people feel proud of who they are.
Rosneft, the Russian state-owned oil behemoth, has large interests in India. Reliance has a contract to purchase 500,000 barrels of crude per day from the firm.
Fresh details of operation conducted by IAF, Army have come out in gazette notification giving citations of those who were awarded Vir Chakra for their bravery.
Education, reservations, govt jobs are meant to bring equality and dignity. That we are a long way from that is evident in the shoe thrown at the CJI and the suicide of Haryana IPS officer. The film Homebound has a lesson too.
The Sunni board is fighting a battle for the inconsequential abandoned mosque, which controversy has done irreparable damage to the interest of 18Cr Muslims of India who are today victims of polarisation, hate politics and biases tarding their every effort for a peaceful life.It is this controversy that changed the political demography of our secular nation. Whether they win or loose this battle, the generations of Muslims will loose the goodwill of Hindu brothers that is so vital for their progress.No minority can sustain without the goodwill of majority which the Sunni board is determined to erase in its intoxication as saviours of Muslims. The greatest service they could do is to pull out and say that the Muslims gift the land,and let it be a contest between the two Hindu parties. If the personal law board thinks it is protecting future claims of other mosques, again they are fooling themselves and the ignorant lot of Muslims as that will take another half a century. By then the community will be ruined.The need of the the day for Muslims is education , economic well being and good will of majority.The first step to reverse the damage done so far by Babri controversy is to immediately pull out of the case and announce magnanimously that Muslims gift it .If you fail the Muslims of India and coming generations would pay a price that you would be responsible.
The fact remains that the property is owned by the Muslims. If you go back in history to retake property where will it end? No ones property will be safe. All of this because of a fairy tale about someone that does not or did not exist! Insanity!
Cultural context of India must always remain Hindu, as 80% of population is Hindu and a few % hinduism derived religions. Other religions are free to exist minus conversions. There are many countries with official religions , Sri Lanka-Buddhist , China -Communist, Pak/Bangladesh -Islam , Burma – Buddhist , Mexico -Catholic , Almost all south American countries are official catholic , All middle east countries are official Islamic , Where is a Official Hindu Country on this planet ? Declare India an Official Hindu country and the pesky issues with cultural context will be over.
The title of this article suggests “intellectual-ish convolutions” which is the hiding place for a certain kind of authors. Babri case is a plain example of Hindus’ superiority complex and the consequent high-handedness which should not be allowed to go unchallenged by the law of the land. There is ABSOLUTELY NO PROOF that lord Ram was born in the exact premises where Babri mosque once stood. Period.
I agree totally. Sentiment and belief have no place in law. The law should be followed and this is a property dispute.
there is enough proof of the temple to predate controversial structure as per archaeological evidence. Rest all your point are whataboutery, that place had a temple and main temple of that city dedicated to diety. There is surely a reason for that. People palways perceived as the place of janmbhoomi.
And secondly use your real arabic name
Sorry to disappoint you, I am an Indian Hindu who belives in constitutional democracy and the rule of law, not mobocracy. In law there is no scope for sentiment.
