"A COMPLETE NONSENSE"

Just a few steps away from my home there is a very famous road in West Delhi called “Sanatan Dharam Road” On the road stand a large Hindu Temple, a beautiful Sikh Gurudwara and a cute Christian Church. The 3 symbols of 3 religions share a common wall with one another. They are like 3 brothers standing next to each other----tall, united and peaceful. If on Sunday the church is bubbling with Christian prayers, then on Gurupurav the Gurudwara organises a lavish “langar” on the famous road where everybody is invited impartially for the feast. And on Janmashtmi, Diwali or other numerous Hindu festivals the temple gets overcrowded with devotees. For secular people like me it’s like a festival which is celebrated round the year. Every religion contributing. Similarly in Mathura (UP), my mother’s birthplace and also Lord Krishna’s, just next to very famous and ancient Krishnajanm-bhoomi we have a mosque which adds to the beauty of the place.

These are just two examples of Secularism which I came across. There will be many. So why, why and why somebody please tell me why we are fighting like cats and dogs and that too wild ones over a tiny piece of land in Ayodhya for not years, not decades but over a half a century???

I don’t want to talk about history and divulge from my point. The point is not that this place belongs to X or it belongs to Y. The point is that a mosque (Babri) was there and in a country where policy makers bark to the world that we are secular how can we even tolerate to allow insane people to demolish the structure just on the assumption that earlier there was a Ram Temple. And if the sin was committed then why sinners were not arrested and punished severely at that time only??

Just think for the moment that many of India’s great monuments are built by Muslim rulers because they rule India for many years. We don’t even know what they broke or what they destroyed to build such magnificent structures which are all world heritage sites today. Tomorrow if somebody stands up and starts shouting that Taj Mahal was built over a place where there was a temple of XYZ God. So are we going to destroy Taj Mahal? Just think!!!!

Do we even know that Babri case has given rise to insecurity among Muslims? It has perpetuated terrorism in India and around the world. The terrorist organizations quote Babri’s example to young boys when turning them anti-Indian and a complete terrorist. Infact many Muslims have started perceiving that India is not for Muslims and the country is trying to erase Islam within it.

In Ayodhya there are lots of mosques and a lot of temples. And the controversial piece of land is so large that it can accommodate both a temple and a mosque. Nobody has the proof that there stood a temple but we all know that Babri was there for centuries and we must believe what we see.

Now what has happened---has happened. To maintain peace and brotherhood either both mosque and a temple should be build there or the land be declared “No man’s Land”. The best solution which I discovered on Facebook is to build a HOSPITAL there for everybody or a GREEN PARK as a symbol of togetherness. The court has to maintain the balance between two sensitive parties; a little extra weight on either side will give politicians another chance to wage riots and violence. Though a SEMIFINAL DECISION has come but some troublemakers are still crying and planning to approach Supreme Court. So the saga has not ended.

PostScript: Common man like you and me is least interested in this non-sense. But we are scared of this decision and expecting riots. The more this country will gossip about religion the least develop we will be!!!!
