The Ayodhya verdict

there were a lot of opinions abt today's verdict. One in particular that i liked was Aristo's and Sankho's (shared view on FB) :

I remember-in school a big bully came and took away my bar of chocolate. We fought. I hit him. He hit me, more than I could hit him.

And then along came the teacher who taught us about reconciliation and compromise, divided it between the 2 of us and sent us our ways.
Was I happy with the decision? No. Because his share of chocolate was never meant for him. It was always mine to begin with.

My take on the same is its difficult to separate out theology from fact, at some point of time , the 2 intersperse and you cant tell which is what, its like Leo's wife in Inception who loses the ability to tell the dream sequences from reality. The real people who know the truth are the man who lived in those times coz eventually history is written by the victor. In our times, its essential to maintain peace and harmony and if this was the best way to achieve it then so be it.

At the end of the day, i am just happy with the half day that we were awarded!! :)
