When judiciary confronts religion

Eventualy, the court of law gets to be the one and only authority to decide upon any thing from criminal act to title suit of a mythological character's birthplace.

As a citizen of India , I feel extreme pain and agony when  I find a nation aspiring to be a global power in economy  engaged with as trivial and archaic issue as Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhumi ownership dispute. For the past few days, there had been a tremendous build -up of tension and excitement in both communities across the length and breadth of India over the verdict to be delivered by the Allahabad High Court..Now the judgement is out, and we see that the verdict is a climax-buster to please both the communities with the provision to appeal before the apex court within three months if any of the litigants feel dissatisfied with the judgement. And it's just plain dumb thing to think that the fuss is over. Just wait, and one of the parties, if not the both, would be rushing to the Supreme court soon. That takes you back to square one. So what gives? 

I am aghast that bigotry, even in this 21st. century, has such a pervasive following. What a pity the scientists of the world are now trying hard to discover the birth of the universe while we Indians, like jackals in the jungle, are fighting the battle of the cave ages! This is height of utter stupidity.

When this issue, or rather non-issue comes up next time, shoot it down with your millenium insight and don't behave like an  immature sod.
