Another tense day in making towards the History of India...ripping the social secular fabric of the Nation. Are our minds so narrow and maturity so conservative that we are living in a pre-civilized thinking!. Is it not time to ponder over our past and create a better future for our children of the Nation.... Too many things to think and react
Any sensible Citizen of the country would understand few facts
1. Over centuries India had the history of foreign invasions and lot of other religious people destroying Hindu temples and building over had been prevalent. They exploited the temples for the precious treasure and artistic excellence that the Hindu community possessed ages ago. Even Taj Mahal is disputed and debated over years, as a old shiva temple called as Tejomahalaya.... does it mean that now we will break it to see what is under the main edifice? Tolerance had been in the blood of Indians, and over the years, this started to slowly diminish. So the chances of the Hindu temple broken and buried under the structure of mosque in Ayodhya is quite possible and we have to leave it for an archaeological survey and debate.
2. Demolishing Mosque in the name of finding a temple remains, is any day not the right thing. Respecting the faith of other religions is the only way of salvation. So, what ever happened in 1990 Dec 6th is bleak in the history of India. Time to repent, and take steps not to repeat.
3. Today Ayodhya and its people, both Muslims and Hindus are living in peace and harmony. The fire, riots and bad memories have only united them and media's any kind of negative debate, portrayal, will only kill this peace lasting since last decade. Media have to maintain utmost sensitivity in the way the news is telecasted and events are portrayed, as it is not Ayodhya that will burn, but whole of India, will there be any kind of unnecessary triggers.
4. Lastly, towards an amicable solution,. If I were, to provide this judgement, my verdict would be to leave the place as is, make it a heritage spot., build a University for Students of India, for Arts and History, similar to something of IIT for Engineering and IIMs for Management, and preserve the dignity of the place with honour.... and then, provide abundant space on either side, one place for Hindu's to move their Rama lalla and Sita Mata idols and begin worship and on the other side, a site for Muslim's to build a mosque and allow them for peaceful worship.
We have spend 700 crores for Common Wealth Games for getting the worst of Inputs from the world over, every election costs us close to 500 crores both official and unofficial, and the whole of the above given project, may not take even 100 crores. In one way, this project would give employment opportunities to the local people driven and living in fear, and frustration over the years,...Provide world class education, reliving the similar glory of Nalanda, the first university in the world, and same time, respecting the sentiments of both the communities involved.
Forget about the differences and look at the similarities of Hindu-Muslim unity and friendship over centuries now in India, and this is one opportunity for us to proclaim, our long lasting song of "Unity in Diversity" ...Jai Hind.
let rest of India, continue its business as usual.... I think only jobless people have time and tide to make a mole out of mountains and make issues, become National Calamities...... Lets learn to live in harmony...
