Hindus Win Dispute in Babri Masjid Case in Historic Verdict.
Supreme Court Gives Ayodhya Land to Hindus in Historic Verdict.
| This is a big deal. It is a blow to the islamists and leftist diversity lovers within India. It is the equivalent of the Temple Mount to the hindus, and a muslim bugbear since the 90s. |
The Ayodhya Dispute.
| In '92 the hindu right-wingers attacked and partly destroyed a masjid built by the mughals over an ancient temple to lord Ram, the primary hindu deity. Ayodhya, said to be the birth place of Ram since then became a place of considerably militant religious fervor. A large muslim community lived around the Babri Masjid and had to scatter in the riots that followed. The event began the decade long litigation which embarrassingly dragged the purview of modern day jurists into questions of myth, historicity and even the tracing of lineages of deities and their progeny. We are immensely glad that one - the muslims are further dis-empowered and two - the SC can go back to doing actual work that affects actual living people. Not that this verdict wasn't a piece of work, but the credit for this only goes to PM Modi and his merry band, for consolidating an iron hold on every source and conduit of power from the legislatures to mainstream media. The basically right-wing govt has built an atmosphere of secular strictures and non-tolerance of islamist thuggery. Which is a good thing, if you ask the right people. |
Ayodhya Verdict Live Updates: Bringing down curtains on the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid issue, one of the longest running title disputes in India, the Supreme Court has given the entire disputed 2.77-acre land to the Hindu parties with a trust to be formed by the Centre within three months to monitor the construction of a Ram Temple. The Sunni Waqf Board will be given 5 acres of alternate land, a five-judge bench of the Supreme Court ruled in the unanimous verdict. The Nirmohi Akhara also suffered some setback with the court. The CJI Ranjan Gogoi-led bench of Justices SA Bobde, DY Chandrachud, Ashok Bhushan and S Abdul Nazeer, said the Akhara's suit was barred by limitation.
The Ayodhya title suit verdict comes nine years after the 2:1 judgment of the Allahabad High Court that ordered a three-way division of the disputed 2.77 acres of land between the three parties - Ram Lalla, Sunni Waqf Board and the Nirmohi Akhara. The Lucknow Bench of the High Court, on September 30, 2010, held that Hindus and Muslims as joint title holders of the disputed land.
Crux of the Ayodhya Verdict
The disputed land in Ayodhya goes to the Hindus in its entirety for the construction of Ram Mandir. The Sunni Waqf Board will get five acres of alternate land, which will be accorded either by the state or the Centre.
Centre will hand over the disputed site to the Board of trustees and a suitable alternative plot of land measuring five acres at Ayodhya will be given to Sunni Waqf Board.
