THE AYODHYA VERDICT & THE REACTION
Why aren't we discussing Ayodhya verdict? Are we comfortable with the idea that court has been fair enough for all the parties involved? The precedence set by the verdict has in a way de-legitimized the secular fabric of our country. Faith and that too majoritarian cannot be a justification for such a ruling. I am hearing Mr. Advani saying that the verdict has justified his rath yatras!!! What next??
Sad part is that earlier we used to think that higher Judiciary was perhaps the only organ of our constitution which was dispensing fair justice and was custodian of Law. The judgement ha shown least consideration for law. Faith and majoritarianism seems to have been major drivers of the judgement!
The fact if that the matter was primarily of ownership of property and while deciding this we have to somewhere decide the timeline from where we have to begin. Even if we presume that there was a temple below the mosque, how far can we stretch the debate of ownership; certainly not before British came to India when records of rights began to be maintained. And how can we justify the present demolition in a secular democratic INDIA on the pretext of an incident which is perhaps a reflection of a feudal arrangement.
