Contrary to what people may expect me to say I strongly support the hindu cause as far as Ayodhya land is concerned...and NOOOOO I dont support the vandalisma and the killings that accompanied the demolition... nor do I support the anti muslim policies followed by the politicians or even the anti - hindu policies followed by the politicians...

But with respect to Ayodhya I have one main reason to support the cause... whether Ram was born there or not (although the high court seems to think so) is still a moot point..... however, if the millions of hindu hold a singular and strong belief that this is where Ram was born and Muslims do not regard that mosque as being anything special or worship in it then I feel deference should be given to the hindus... for better or worse, hindus believe that this is the most holiest of their sites and want to worship over there... and muslims do not even worship in the mosque anymore .... and hence the best thing to happen would be to hand over the land (at least the birthplace) to the hindus and let the mosque remain as it is.... there should not have been any demolition of any kind... both should have accepted each others sensitivities and moved on.... hindus could have continued to worship within the mosque premises and muslims could have anyways moved away from the mosque since they dont hold it to be holy place....

I know this would open up a plethora of cases where on the basis of a belief people could be asked to renounce land... and which is why I make this exception only in respect of the birth place of Ram... given its importance to the large section of the hindu community....the generousity of the muslims would have helped at this point of time.....

But that is a thing of the past... the mosque was demolished... and that changed the dynamics of the case.... there would be no way in which the muslims can forget that...

I was surprised to learn that the whole title suit was initially filed by a very poor man in Allahabad... he did that to protect the rights of his community... and he went almost bankrupt for it...

to think people with very very low income actually do fabulous things in India... another rickshaw driver actually runs a library to disseminate education..... then imagine what we, with our corporate jobs, can do....

Think about it...
