I am gald that these guys who are criticising the ASI's findings and the court's reliance on them are experts in Archaeology. Making hyperbolic comparisons to demean the other side's perspective doesn't make you right. What such people neglect is all the written and oral evidence available on...

This is just bull$hit from the SS/MNS brigade who seem to be out of any meaningful issues right now. I hope that the channel is not cowed, but I don't know what will actually happen.

Because she is his girlfriend! Won't you accompany your girlfriend/wife if she wants you to? And suppose she visits a women's garment shop, and you accompany here, does it mean that you are also buying those clothes? :lol: If he prayed there, then you might have an issue, but otherwise it...

I know firsthand the knowledge of some of these engineers. I got my degree from a top college and I wouldn't employ my medium-bottom ranked classmates for any meaningful engineering project. Some of them can perform structural analysis but not design. Some of them can't even do that. Someone who...

He's only going there, not praying. Heck, he's not even paying his respects or anything. If you can't even tolerate his going there, and do not appreciate the fact that people of other religion also pray at some of your shrines, then you are exactly the type of person who is unsuitable for...

Yes, a few of my friends have also gone there and they are very displeased with the religious discrimination meted out to them there. Of course you are hitting your head against a wall. The thinking of such bigots goes like this: Muslim discriminates against Muslim = no reaction :coffee: Muslim...

I disagree with the view that the case was decided on the basis of faith. From whatever analysis I have heard and read, the judgement seems to have a sound legal basis. But, in order to reach a reasonable conclusion, one must read the whole judgement with a legal eye. I do applaud the spirit...

I think one needs to read the charter of the OIC to find out what it means to be a member and who can join it. Since the Indian Govt has been trying to join it, I think it should be assumed that it can join the organization without compromising on any of its secular tenets, unless proven otherwise.

Please, not this BJP fixed the verdict thing now. Justice Sharma was appointed to the Allahabad HC in 2005. Now tell me how did the BJP manage to fix things and get Justice Sharma onto the HC? Perhaps it convinced Mulayam Singh Yadav who was the CM at that time? Or maybe influenced Sonia Gandhi...

But it is an interesting question - Would the court have ruled like it did if the mosque still stood there today? And if it did, then would any Government have had the guts to bring it down to allow the construction of a temple? We would have ended up with Shah Bano part 2 in case the court...

There is no need for that as there is already a law passed by the Indian parliament in 1991 or 93 which says that all such religious places will be out of bounds of such a litigation with a cut-off date of 15 Aug 1947. Of course, the BJP/VHP/etc could reaffirm their commitment to follow this law...

You forgot to mention: No discrimination against minorities, certainly not officially enshrined in constitution. It is funny how people are willing to take the support of anyone, no matter what they support.

Well, Mulayam Singh is NOT happy. Big surprise? Muslims feel cheated by Ayodhya verdict: Mulayam PTI | 04:10 PM,Oct 01,2010 Lucknow, Oct 1 (PTI) Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav today said the Muslim community felt cheated by the Ayodhya title suit verdict, prompting Uttar Pradesh...

Side-effect -Harris Khalique In 1992, 150,000 Kar Sevaks (volunteers) led by the BJP leader L K Advani marched to the historic town of Ayodhya, district Faizabad, the heart of Avadh, now Uttar Pradesh, and razed the Babri Mosque. The ensuing Hindu-Muslim riots across Indian cities including...

As far as administration goes, he did have many qualities. He wasn't an inept ruler - the last Mughal ruler about whom that can be said. However, as far as religious intolerance and persecution go, the historians (even the so-called pseudo-secular ones) that he was extremely intolerant and...

It was an interim report. The final report was submitted later and was taken into account by the court.

The Shah Bano case seems to be the beginning of this kind of politics. To grab the radical Muslim vote-bank, the Congress rode roughshod over the SC judgement via a legislation. Then, to appease the radical Hindu groups, it opened the locks of the locked masjid. Look where this kind of cynical...

That is the spirit of the court's verdict. It is not so much a judicial verdict as a compromise formula. The judges probably didn't want any bloodshed on their account.

Guys, try to understand this - what other WORKABLE alternative did the court have? - Could it have given the whole of the site to the Hindus? It would have lead to a lot of alienation and severe disappointment to the Muslims to get nothing out of the verdict. - Could it have ruled completely...

Babri mosque verdict Dawn Editorial Friday, 01 Oct, 2010 *** Nearly two decades after Hindu zealots tore down the 16th-century Babri mosque in the Indian town of Ayodhya, there appears to be some sense of closure to the divisive issue. Or is there? After all, when religion, mythology and...
