Anyone who knows anything about the legal justice system of India would be able to tell you that this verdict is more a tight rope walk of balancing various vested interests than an actual court verdict which is made evident by the answer to the question who won and who lost with the answer being nobody. This decision is rooted in a panchayati style logic rather than the Indian constitution.
Having said all this one must realise if the objective of law is to give justice to the people under its jurisdiction then perhaps this is one of those rare moments when a creation of man was able to do right by him. Everybody got something and nobody is killing anybody which is a huge improvement I guess so thats good at least.
Now I must make my personal views about this issue clear, personally I could not care less who build what over there personally I say build a nuclear dumping site, a large pond(kolam ;) ), A water theme park... all would be more useful than the other two options the last thing India needs is another temple or another mosque for that matter. It is often difficult for me to understand how such a pathetically clueless species as we humans can be so adamant about our views on god. I mean think about it we have a difficult time thinking what the person sitting next to us is thinking or how to cheer up our near and dear one's when they are sad.... I mean we are not even able to communicate with other species on earth like monkeys or dolphins or dogs or cats or whales... all of whom show intelligence so much so that according to modern science whales have the most complex language spoken on earth... Even with all these obvious limitations we are soooo arrogant that we not only believe we know who or what god is but also what he wants and how to please him.... and in what can perhaps be considered the crowning achievement of our arogance we believe that our beliefs and our beliefs alone are right and everyone else's is wrong.... so wrong that we have the right to well...... u know.
The only question that keeps coming back to me is... Is there still time left to change???? because lets be clear if we don't change soon there will be no one and I mean absolutely no one left to carry our names into the future.
