Apart from the CWG fiasco, the other hot issue in India is the impending HC verdict in the Ayodhya case. And just read a news item on TOI that poll of people in Ayodhya shows that the people there have no doubt that it is Ramjanmabhoomi! The people (read Hindus) have no doubt what it is and the others (read Muslims), or at least those interviewed, didn't really air their views except voice concerns at the aftereffects of the verdict!
And that is my point as well...how does it matter whether Ram was born there or not? How does it matter whether there should be a temple there or a mosque or a church? Isn't it more important to live your life how Ram lived his? The man willingly gave up his thrown to keep his father's word...and we are fighting to build a structure where he was born?! Thousands died in the riots 18 years ago - yes it has been that long! Thousands have died since, in various different riots/blasts which have happened in the aftermath of that incidence...who knows what will happen, if and when the verdict is delivered...is this what Ram stood for? Or for that matter, is this what the Prophet preached?
The CWG fracas is a classic example of the deteriorating moral fabric of the society...where the behavior of those involved would be making Ram turn in his grave! People need to realize the real challenges that lay ahead and tackle real issues rather than fight over what to build on a piece of land.
