India’s supreme court granted Hindus possession of a site in the city of Ayodhya

IT IS a decision that has been decades in the making. When it came, it surprised no one. On November 11th that is claimed as the birthplace of Rama, an incarnation of the god Vishnu. A 16th century mosque had stood on the 2.77 acre site until a fanatical mob demolished it in 1992, sparking a decade of sporadic nationwide violence that left several thousand dead, mostly minority Muslims.

It helped, too, that the five judges on the Supreme Court bench ruled unanimously. Aside from offering five acres of land in compensation, their ruling gave solace to Muslims by terming the 1992 demolition of the mosque, known as the Babri Masjid, “an egregious violation of the rule of law”. This suggests that energy may now be injected into the separate criminal trial of Hindu nationalist leaders held responsible for provoking the mosque attack. This has lingered in lower courts for decades.

Despite such doubts, the majority of Hindus are broadly relieved that the saga has finally come to an end. Shekhar Gupta, an experienced and canny commentator, described the ruling as “wonderfully nuanced” and predicted it would bring closure to the issue. The opposition Congress party welcomed the court’s judgment.

Why should it be hard? Where did all the outsiders come from? Does history not prove this? It surely does this, and the cowards know it all too well. They are now scared and live in hindsight of Hindus.

ghoshworld You are mistaken. Very, very, badly mistaken. They've waited 50+ yrs to get to a position of POWER...and aren't going to let go without ticking off all points on their agenda sheet asap. Coming up ~ socially & politically 'other-ise' the 'others' in India. Brutally, if needed.

Now you guys are pushing it too far. Stop disrespecting the Hindus anymore. AYODHYAVERDICT

Let's built more schools and hospitals first

Wow. Just Wow. You just can't put a hold on your Hinduphobia can you? Not even a single day can you? Keep regurgitating it all the time so pugnaciously. You want that to happen, you want people to be in conflict and then Hindus to be demonised..that's your intention, ain't it ?

Brainless Journalist with zero knowledge about AYODHYAVERDICT reporting the news.

Many ancient cultures removed symbol of subjugation & humiliation as soon as they gained control. Hindus were a wounded civilization & after 500 years of struggle we can worship our gods in our place.. Mosques building after destruction of temple is humiliation.. 1/2

How Dare You use such words MF

You underestimate the rabid right

You bet!

Of all the pictures decipting communal harmony after verdict, economist as usual choose the pic to show hindus in bad light. I am glad I cancelled ur subscription.

Historical wrongs committed at the most revered places of a large faith should be set right is what the judgment says. And its a good one. Wonder how some in the west would have reacted if a mosque had been built atop a Church at Bethlehem only to be set right now?

Misleading reporting, anti hindu mindset. It was a mosque built by destroying a temple and building over the temple. The court took evidence by archeological survey of india (ASI)

Correct your facts... The mentioned person Shekhar is a mental patient. All your information are 99.9% wrong. Hire good people for these typo matters. BTW can u justify how Jesus left Israel n move to Rome The Vatican shop z a concept..

Make Fentanyl China Great Again.

So....

Its the same as someone building a Mosque on St. Pauls cathedral site and us all arguing if it is permitted. Can we get a fucking grip here!!

You guys never surprise me.Damn, every single time!Your Anti-Hindu headline and biased judgement based on the tweets of one side without taking into account the Archaeological evidence and historical contest show us that you are part of the Anti-Hindu Leftist-Islamist nexus.

another controversial decision.....

The Apex court's handing over of the Babri Masjid site to Hindus, which the Sunni Waqf board happily accepted was based on ASI's finding: the mosque was erected upon an existing structure. Will a similar decision be replicated in erections constructed on existing structures?
