Ayodhya Verdict

20-Sep-2010
Dear Mr. Ravi Shankar Prasad,

I am shocked that intelligent person like you can be carried out by religious sentiment. If we can live for six decades without knowing who owned the land in Ayodhya, what is the rush of knowing it now? What do you expect after the verdict - peace and tranquility? If there is a communal riot or a bomb blast, who will take the responsibility? Except for few religious lunatics who else are interested about Babri Masjid or Ram Temple? I think verdict should be deferred for next 100 years till we understand the true meaning of religion.

Rajiv Gandhi opened the Pandora box by allowing Hindus to worship, followed by infamous Ram Rath Yatra by Advani leaving a trail of destruction and finally demolition of the structure by some mad people in presence of top ranking politicians of the country. Since then it is a mutual destructive politics between Congress and BJP. Where the buck will stop?

If we admit that converting a temple into mosque 500 years ago was a mistake, you cannot correct that mistake by demolishing a 500 years old historical structure. It was a national treasure. I just don't understand why can't Muslins and Hindus practice their respective faith in the same Babri Masjid/Ram Temple structure side by side?

 Ayodhya is not restricted to just 70acre of disputed land. If Mr. Advani wants to build a grand temple he can do it outside demolished structure. Why is he so adamant?

All political parties appealed for calm and peace. But do they have control over right wing Muslim and Hindu organizations? Politicians will be protected by commandos. But who will protect common people?

I think congress, BJP and other political parties should ask for ideas from common people how the disputed land can be used other than constructing a temple or mosque. My suggestion would be to create a beautiful lake and a palace in the middle of that lake so that it becomes one of the finest tourist spot of India.
