Ayodhya - a future perspective

Hardly 60 years over now since our great secular country had been partitioned in the name of faith and belief.   ‘Pakistan’- A nation with majority of people who believe in the faith of Islam was formed by desperate Muslims who felt their future as very unsafe in their own native place or mother land India. Still a great number of Muslims had their   trust in their Hindu counterparts and the Mahatma of this great nation. They continued to live in their mother land with great hopes and ambitions of a secular India as aspired by our great leaders that time. They too had religious faith and belief but never let their faith and belief over take the patriotic feelings they always kept in their heart.

Now our judiciary acclaimed as playing a safe role to avert any communal tension in the country has decreed to divide the disputed land into 3 parts as 2/3 to the Hindu majority and 1/3 to the Muslim minority, which resembles the traumatic period of partition in India The justification for this order underline and justifies the faith of the majority community who had been time immemorial did worship Lord Ram by constructing a temple in the birth place of the God in Ayodhya.

 But my doubt is whether there existed any concrete evidence to prove this faith or is merely groping in the darkness for proving ayodhya as the birth place of Lord Ram and should be worshiped by erecting a temple over there. Can it be affirmed that there were no deliberate attempt by some fanatics or emerged communal leaders to distort the facts and evidences to prove their claim as correct to support this faith?    


Further I would like to raise a laymen’s doubt as whether the god  will admire and glorify his subject for recapturing the  place and build a great place of worship and place it  before the world? Whether this will have a lasting solution for all the communal tension and other socio economic problems we face in our country.  Will this strengthen the secular structure of our democratic India and raise the image of our country as a whole.

 On the other hand , is it not a barbarious act similar like the invader babber did in the 6the century? Whether the future generation will praise their ancestors for recapturing the birth place of their god? Do they not repeat such actions in the coming years in the name of faith and belief and demolish all the historical monuments in the country which are against the ancestor’s faith and belief. They can very well cite a precedence of new temple in ayodhya and the court verdict to support their action of faith over there.


 In conclusion I want to say that in this age of information technology, instead of brooding over superstition and twisted faith by selfish people, there should be an open attempt to think and evaluate everything free from bias. The fact is always fact and it should not be colored by giving a label of faith and belief. If our forefathers have told some tales or myths to the children as their faith, it should not be the ground for everything in the life and taken as truth and follow bluntly as a fundamental faith. By virtue of human being every individual have their commonsense to evaluate every thing he find in his life. Of course some people may have more intelligence than the others as the receptive capacity of their brain to realize the reality may be high.


 It will be always better if we do some rethinking of our faith with the capacity of our own inherent intellectual qualities. Try to understand and evaluate the underlying truth in all our faith and belief. The victory is where the entire citizen in the country live in mutual trust, harmony and in true faith and belief, free from any doubt and suspicions between the communities and religious sections. My vision is a secular, Democratic, free India where every one lives in peace and harmony, prosperous to deliver the ideology of a great civilization before the world.
