‘Issue’ in Varanasi
Our country was divided on the basis of religion. The Places of Worship Act, 1991, was brought in to ensure that religion does not become the basis for further conflicts in the country. However, the Gyanvapi Mosque issue is in danger of being added to the long list of religious disputes which have surfaced in recent years. Do these issues actually exist or are we being forced to believe that they do exist? Can we ever achieve peace by keeping alive the issue on the basis of which we were divided? An ordinary citizen is time and again reminded that India has a rich history. Does ‘rich in history’ mean many versions of history? Only a strong verdict by the judiciary can help resolve the dilemmas of our countrymen.
Jyoti,
