It is time to move on!!

Going by the standards of Indian Judicial system, I always thought there would never be any result on babri-ramjanmbhoomi dispute. First and foremost it is indeed great news that there is some sort of closure.

However, the anti-climax is that both the sides (hindu & muslim) have decided to approach the Supreme Court!

Essentially what Allahabad High court has done is that it ruled in favour of prevalent Hindu faith - the disputed place is indeed ramjanmbhoomi.

The land is divided and given one-third each to Nirmohi Akhara, Hindu Mahasabha & Sunni Waqf Board. The court gave verdict based on ASI report and other pieces of evidence.

The reaction to verdict was rather surprising to say the least. No one wants to revisit the bloody phase of 1992-93. In fact that reminds us, almost 18 years have passed.

Even BJP and Congress have reacted in restrained manner.

I was a student of 9^th standard at the time when all riots & subsequent bloodshed took place in 1992. There was curfew imposed for many days.


With my limited knowledge and study of Indian society, I must say those days distorted Indian society, mindset of people & communal harmoney forever.

This time around it was differnet story altogether. It was a show of lots of maturity coupled with self-control by general public.This is 2010 and we are growing as nation and as an economy.

There are certain encouraging facts of life here in our country - India.

And there should be no unpleasant and dangerous speedbrakers.

On the other hand negetive factors do curse our overall advancement.There is very fresh, major embarassment of Commonwelth Games to deal with. And longstanding issues such as J & K, Naxalism threat & Inflation have not met their solutions and hence logical conclusions.

I strongly believe that if this opportnity, accidentally provided to us by the court verdict, is utilised sensibly and shrewdly we would have real peace and communal harmoney. Now that is a big ‘if’!
