F.M. Ibrahim Kalifulla, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar & Sriram Panchu were named by SC as the mediation panel to resolve Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid title dispute case.
As Narendra Modi becomes India’s second-longest consecutively serving Prime Minister, we look at how he compares with Indira Gandhi across four key dimensions.
Ms Latha Venkatesh has pointed to an analogous situation from Turkey where it was decided to turn a bitterly contested site with a lot of historical baggage into a Museum. 2. Others have pointed out how – unclear if this is a coincidence – all three gentlemen are from Tamil Nadu, which might pose some difficulties of language and communication. 3. The time line of eight weeks, congruent with the most polarised general election in India’s history is all wrong. The first priority should have been to push the whole process beyond Counting Day. 4. Sri Sri comes with a lot of history. Almost by definition, the Mediators – one had never heard of the other two – should be seen as completely impartial. 5. An odd initiative. It will go nowhere.
Ravishankar is a scoundrel. He is a known hindutva fanatic and a dubious character. The SC has lost its mind and its balls. It should have included better people thank Ravishankar who makes money by bamboozling people about breathing techniques. Take it from me, this committee will not get anything done. This is just an attempt to stall. The people – particularly the Hindutva fools – are being taken for a ride again!!
One cannot speak for the apex court, which we all revere, but very happy to see that Indians have certainly not lost their 12345. So long as this spirit of irreverence and the freedom to express it remains, our democracy will flourish.
SC should replace Sri Sri, since he is responsible for spoiling the eco system of Yamuna, where he and his organisation conducted a tamasha and spent crores of rupees. Sri Sri never repented and case is still on with court.
I have said it a few times before as well, in my comments to different articles right here, on THE PRINT, that on the disputed site an institution should be constructed which will benefit the poor (not necessarily “religious” hawks) from both communities — something like:
RAM–MUHAMMAD NATIONAL HOSPITAL FOR THE POOR
(Or some other institution of common interest to majority of people on both sides.)
And both the Hindus and Muslims should be given generously large pieces of land WITHIN AYODHYA, as well as funds to construct a beautiful Ram Mandir and a beautiful Mosque.
The two communities can be brought around to agree to something like this if simultaneously this idea is also drummed up among the masses of both sides through pamphlets, posters and loudspeakers all over the Hindi belt. This will make the masses to put pressure on their respective leaders.
Other than such an approach, there is absolutely no solution to this problem.
