So the Ayodhya verdict is set to be declared on Tuesday 28th September 2010.Finally the whole Babari Masjid or Ram Temple controversy MAY just be settled.Or made worse.We wait with bated breath.
Two days to go and we wait,hoping and praying.Inspite of the speaches that are meant to inflame and provoke,the ridiculous SMSs that incite hatred and even the stray acts of violence that gets exaggerated as hate crimes against a particular religion we dare to believe that good sense and cool heads will eventually prevail.
Meanwhile,can’t help but wonder what the verdict will be.I was actually thinking about this and it occurred to me that there could be a very simple solution to this whole thing.Since all the fuss is about what is on that piece of land-temple or mosque,lets not have either.Its kinda like mom taking away the toy both the kids are fighting over,and all the moms will agree,it works.
The land could be used for some other purposes by the government.Here are a few things that could be done there:
- Monument to communal harmony-There could be a huge work of art like a sculpture with the theme of religious tolerance and communal peace at the center and around this there could be like a public garden or something.
- Museum-A museum specialy dedicated to the history of the place.There could also be an art gallery or something.
- Educational Institution-This could be the site of an educational institution,probably one of those new IITs or IIMs the government is planning.Or maybe a university or something.Or a religious learning centre.
- Temple of Humanity-This could be like a huge structure inspired by all world relegions.People of all relegions can come to pray or meditate here.There could be a gallery showing the history of the site and giving the message of peace.
I mean seriously wouldn’t doing something like this settle the whole problem.

You have some very good suggestions, here. The best one, according me was the last one “The temple of humanity”. Let’s just hope that whatever decision comes, it’s in favour of all and not one. ’cause I don’t think that this country can take anymore fights over these issues…
thats also the one I like the most 🙂 …and totaly agree with you, issues like these are best left in the past…totaly not worth burning the nation down over…
Yeah! I mean, seriously, what would these people get, fighting over such issues, when there are much bigger problems than these religious fights. Why, just don’t they understand the fact that God is One. I can only pray that “Bhagwan inko sadbuddhi de”!!!
Yea re…Fighting over religion,I believe,is like children fighting over whos imaginary friend is better-petty and pointless.
