Ayodhya mosque
The front page news report, on the Ayodhya mosque project, was a surprise given the intense media focus on the Ayodhya temple (“Ayodhya mosque to be ‘better than Taj’”, January 14). To make a comparison with the Taj Mahal, in terms of its final grandeur, is uncalled for. Let this mosque be simple in all respects in keeping with the simplicity propounded by Islam. Let the structure serve society irrespective of religion or faith and earn the appreciation of all. It must be used as an opportunity to make it stand as a symbol of secularism instead of division.
