Our Ram Lalla Wins!

Hope the Modi government now takes it to logical conclusion by building a Grand Temple in Ayodhya at the earliest. #AYODHYAVERDICT 1/n
It is time for celebration & rightfully so. But, let us pause for a moment & reflect. It has taken us almost 500 years of wait & decades of political & court battle just to come to this stage that we can legally build a temple to Ram Lalla on his birthplace. #AYODHYAVERDICT 2/n
Just imagine, this is Karmabhoomi of Hindus; this is the land of our Devas, of Tirthas. And here, it has taken us this long and painful fight to invite back Ram Lalla embodiment of Dharma into his home. This only goes to show deep mess Hindus society is in. #AyodhyaJudgment 3/n

It is important to know the topic before you enter the debate. It is not anybody’s mere figment of imagination that the holy site is where Lord Rama took birth. A movement that has been silently going on for over 480 years now is not based on falsehood. #AyodhyaHearing 1/n
The battle for Ayodhya and Shri Rama Janmabhoomi is not a political movement as being painted. It is an issue of our cultural resurgence and identity. The movement is an expression of the collective consciousness of the Hindu ethos. 2/n #AyodhyaHearing
We strongly believe that any interpretation of the Babri structure, other than that of it being a monument of our slavery, is asking Hindus to live with the humiliation that Babar wanted to inflict on them, as conquered people. 3/n #AyodhyaHearing

134 years after the legal dispute first began to be heard in the courts, "Enough is enough! #AyodhyaHearing must conclude by 5 pm today", says the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of India.

134 years.
The new Indian vocation appears to be ordering people to not celebrate the Ayodhya verdict if it goes in their favour.

This when the same Indians are perfectly fine with celebrating the supremacy of a religion, of a god, over other religions and other gods. Every single day.
I'll tell you what I am celebrating - that I live in a country where a billion have, in effect, left it to five to decide the weight of their religious belief.

How much more open and mature can one get. India is going to write her history with the grammar of justice not anarchy.
