Ayodhya disputed site was exempted from Places of Worship Act passed during Narasimha Rao govt in September 1991, a year before Babri Masjid demolition.
Muslim plaintiffs in the Supreme Court case over Babri Masjid demolition have consistently stayed at Asaduddin Owaisi’s house for the course of hearings.
RBI Handbook of Statistics shows state’s GSDP has more than doubled in past decade, finishing second behind Maharashtra. It has performed well across health & education parameters as well.
It is argued that India-Israel ties are moving from buyer–seller dynamic to one focused on joint development & manufacturing partnership, a shift 'more durable' than traditional arms sales.
Don’t blame misfortune. This is colossal incompetence and insensitivity. So bad, heads would have rolled even in the old PSU-era Indian Airlines and Air India.
Justice Katju has compared the Ayodhya verdict to ADM Jabalpur, without a single note of dissent. If a mosque has stood undisturbed for 460 years, what further documentary proof is required to establish title over the land underneath and appurtenant to it ? Should the issue of Tejo Mahalaya be taken up next, are there title deeds to the land on which the Taj Mahal and its extensive gardens are located ?
I agree with the views expressed by the lawyer Shekhar Naphade. Ayodhya and Sabarimala are two dissimilar cases. The Ayodhya verdict didn’t deal with the issue of respecting the faith of the Hindus, but the fact that the faith was practiced on a long and continued basis over the centuries in spite of the site being in possession and occupation of Non-Hindu rulers, whereas the Muslim litigants could produce no evidence of Namaz being offered at the site from 1527 to 1856-57. Add to this the fact established by archaeological report that the controversial Masjid was built on an old non-Islamic structure, possibly a Hindu Temple. This created a peculiar situation that the Muslims had no title over the land but only on the construction built on the land. They have been adequately compensated for illegal and despicable act of demolition of that structure, but this demolition doesn’t provide them the right to claim that the structure be reconstructed on the same land forcibly occupied centuries ago.
