Ayodhya Mosque temple issue: a Controversy or a Reason to fight about

Hello frendz...welcome back to this virtual world created by ajay in association with blogger dot com. Actually today’s topic is a very serious one...so plz try to ponder about the issue for a few moments...being an Indian....letz go!!!


In the very beginning of the article, I’m presenting you the facts and the flow of this issue from its birth.


Hindus believe that Ayodhya is the birthplace of Lord Ram, one of the avatars of Lord Vishnu. The land is therefore considered sacred and match the profile of a holy pilgrimage spot.

The construction of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya started during the rule of Muslim emperor Babur in 1527.
Mir Banki as the Viceroy of that region, who enforced Mughal rule over the population, came to Ayodhya in 1528 and built the Mosque.There are claims that when the Mosque built, the Ram temple at Ayodhya was either demolished or modified largely.

Over the years, Hindus have sought to reclaim the 'Ram Janmabhoomi' while Muslims have sought to defend the Babri Masjid.

Growth of dispute over the years
During the period after the construction of the mosque up to the mid of 19th century, Muslims continued to use it as Mosque and there were no substantial claims from Hindu side. After that Hindus were permitted to worship inner part of the mosque.
1947 - A Government order prohibited Muslims from being around the site (at least 200 yards). The main gate was locked. However, Hindu pilgrims allowed to enter through a side door.

1984 - The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) started a campaign to reclaim the site for Hindus so that a temple dedicated to the infant Ram (Ramlala) could be erected.

1989 - Allahabad High Court passed an order that the main gates should be opened up and restored the site to Hindus for eternity.

But the communal discord re-erupted when the Hindus intented to make modifications of the Islamic style structure built by General Mir Banki.

When they inaugurated the proposed new grand Temple with Government permissions, unrest erupted across India as the Muslim community was against this.

1992 - The dispute took a rather ugly turn on Dec 6, 1992 when the Babri Masjid was demolished during a political rally. This led to riots in which over 2000 were killed.


Ten days after the Babri Masjid demolition, the Liberhan commission was set up to probe the circumstances that led to the demolition.

2003 - On the order of the High Court, the the Archaeological Survey of India carried out excavation at the disputed site of Rama Janmabhumi - Babri Masjid from 12 Mar, 2003 to 7 Aug, 2003. The study reportedly found evidences of an ancient temple.

A 574-page report with maps, drawings as well as opinions was presented before the Lucknow bench of the Allahabad high court in Aug 2003.

Based on the archaeological evidence the the ASI report noted that the remains had distinctive features found associated with the temples of north India and said that there was sufficient proof of existence of a massive and monumental structure having a minimum dimension of 50x30 metres in north-south and east-west directions respectively just below the disputed structure.

2005 - On July 5, 2005, five terrorists attacked the site of the makeshift Ramlalla temple, in Ayodhya.

All the five terrorists were killed in the ensuing gunfight with the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), guarding the area. The attack claimed life of one civilian, who died in a grenade blast that the terrorists triggered to breach a cordon wall.

2009 - In Nov 2009, some of the findings of the Liberhan commission was leaked to the media. These leaked reports indicted Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders like LK Advani and Murli Manohar Joshi.

2010 - On Sep 24, 2010, the Allahabad High Court was slated to give its verdict on the Ayodhya title suit on ownership of the disputed land. On the eve of the judgement, the Supreme Court deferred the verdict by a week on a deferment plea and scheduled hearing of the postponement petition on Tuesday, Sep 28.

Now, whatever verdict high court gives, one thing for sure is that govt have to strive very hard to prevent communal riots in the country(if it want to).
If the verdict comes biased towards Hindus, then Muslim communities like MSS, AIMPLB will be getting crazy. If it comes biased towards Muslims, then Hindu parties and groups like VHP, ShivSena etc are the ones who are going to explode, and if the verdict comes midway, it will be the worst of all because then both the sides will be invading each other, so there is no way to get out of this drain of bloodshed safely. However, it is known to all that it is going to become a bonanza for some of the political parties. Why the hell these bloody politicians are always interested in making their good by marketing the funeral. Why the hell the politics has become so adulterated in India that a foul odour has started coming out even from its name. Why the hell they don’t want to see people living happily and prosperously....Why???????

Actually the problem is that all the community-specific groups and association have met an opportunity to fight for their religion and prove the significance of their existence by killing more and more people. The more the number of persons they kill by spreading riots, the more fecund they are. Their significance and the violence caused by them are in direct ratio, as far as their perception is concerned. Actually, the problem for these hardliners and orthodox people is not limited to Ayodhya or Babri Mosque, the problem is the modernisation of Indian society, the problem is the communal harmony that is prevailing in Indian society, the problem is the existence of communities other than they belong...and I think these vital problems that they are living with are too hard to solve by any court, any judicial system possible on this earth.

Actually the solution of this problem does not lie in the verdict of high court, it(court) may provide some imminent solution for this problem, or it may not even provide any solution at all, or it may add some more bloody twists in the issue, but it will not be the perpetual solution. The perpetual solution could be brought only by you, me...and to be precise, By “ us”. The only solution is actually the intellectual enlightenment of the every single individual in the country and that too by oneself. One fact is crystal clear, until our people and leaders are going to become aware and start thinking globally and intellectually rather than communally, with an attitude of growth of country rather than fighting on the name of growth of a particular caste or creed or community, India will remain as backward as it was some hundred years ago when only the tribal and nomads used to live. This 8.8% economic growth is of zero importance until we are not growing mentally. One more thing, this will be the solution not only for this communal problem, this is the panacea for each and every single problem that India is facing, whether it is corruption, whether it is problem of harassment of women in Indian society or it is anything else.
