The Ayodhya issue has stood the test of time and has defied
all efforts of reconciliation. This issue has seen new roles coming up and adding
to the plot aka a TV serial which is similar to this. The case against the
senior most leaders of the BJP is the talk of the town now. Earlier it was the
verdict of the Allahabad high court that was so trending. Now this has turned into
somewhat like a Saas-Bahu melodrama where each is trying to prove who is more
significant.
Both the sides are trying to prove who was first on the
spot. What structure existed first on this land; a temple or a mosque? And this
decision needs to have the consensus of all the three parties in the case. In any
case this consensus is a dream that will never materialize and some or the
other episode of this case is always going to hit the news hour across the
country and make headlines in the papers.
But when the government can take a strong decision on the
discontinuation of certain serials that are having less TRP why does the
government permit a case like this to continue to spread discord in the
country. The government just like any other is just playing safe in this case
and not taking a iron hand in the case and this has let the situation to
precipitate such a dangerous polarization of the general population.
It is not new for the rulers of this subcontinent to “Divide
and Rule” the people, but in this age of media proliferation this is really
shocking that the people are still ready to be divided. Also it is stupid on
the part of the government to allow this issue to blow out of proportion. The government
should give an ultimatum on the resolution of this issue and if the deadline is
crossed, the governments should take-over the entire assets under dispute and
nullify the case. This should be done not only to protect the sanctity of the
country’s mentality but also to prevent the wastage of valuable court hours
that are spent in resolving the case. The parties in this case should be made
aware of the seriousness of the case.
People respond to power and clarity of thoughts and not to
confusion and indecision. The failure of the earlier governments in the
resolution of the case is a black mark on the history of this country’s
democracy. Religion and faith are matters of personal choice and are sensitive
in nature. But considering the time and effort that this case has consumed this
case has been indulged a lot. When religion and faith come in the way of
generic health of the nation, it is better to choose the nation first. The government
must remember the iron man of the country and his resolve in uniting this
country in such situations.
