The Final Verdict

 The entire country was waiting with bated breath, me included, to hear what the Allahabad HC’s verdict. It was then postponed by another half hour, and I was actually getting blue in the face but finally its out. The disputed land is going to be divided equally among the Ram Lalla, Waqf Board and the original owners, Nimrohi Akhara. It is extremely heartening to see that there has been no communal tension so far, post the verdict. However, I hope that the land will not be divided like the rest of India. With little squiggly lines that make the country’s map as a while look really under-developed. I had nightmares last night erupting from the possible outcomes of this judgement but the morning that dawned was surprisingly calm. Twilight prevailed the evening of the verdict. I’m very impressed with the way this country is responding and its giving me a sense of reassurance that we are indeed on the path to becoming a true secular state!

So, just wondering, if God is one, why on earth would anyone want to destroy a place of worship?? Even if it’s not YOUR place of worship. And all the human life that was destroyed in the demolition of that one concrete structure is definitely not worth it. Certain politicians are harping on about how they want the people to maintain peace in the country. Just in case you haven’t already noticed, the people of this country are not violent in nature, they are just instigated to go in that directions because of misinterpretation and often misrepresentation. Our beloved PM on the other hand says that he believes in the unity of the country. Thank you for your confidence!

Jai Hind!
