Masjid verdict spells the end of India!
NOVEMBER
16, 2019
It will go down perhaps as the most
controversial judgment in history. It may also mean the end of India; with more
than a quarter of its population existing under perpetual terror as the BJP/RSS
combination will not be satisfied unless all mosques and churches in India are
demolished.
One may be forgiven for concluding the judges thought a decision
favouring Muslims would lead to a bloodbath, leading to genocide on an
unimaginable scale. They may have feared that thousands of Muslims would be
killed by extremist Hindus if they concluded that Muslims were the owners of
the land on which the mosque was situated. But I believe that they, too, were
driven by hatred of Muslims; believing (without evidence) that the mosque was
situated at the exact spot where Ram was born.
But having seen what has been happening in Indian Occupied Kashmir
recently, we should have expected this verdict. Kashmiri Muslims are not
allowed to offer prayers on Fridays. They were not allowed to observe the
Festival of sacrifice (Eid-al-Azha) as well as deprived of visiting mosques and
shrines on Eid-e-Milad (November 10, 2019). So we already knew that Indian
secularism was a myth in a country where the most ancient form of apartheid
(the caste system) is still practised. India is a country where Muslim,
Christian or Dalit men are killed for marrying Hindu women, so one could never
have expected the Muslims to win. This judgment has given free rein to those
who hate Muslims and Christians for having ruled over India for a thousand
years. Now, all Islamic and Christian places of worship are in danger of destruction
and could disappear within a few decades, if not earlier.
Let’s look at the parts of the judgment. The
judges said there was no evidence of the existence of a temple underneath the
mosque, although there was a non-Islamic structure (not a temple). If this was
the case, why would they order that a temple be built on the disputed site? Why
did they not look into the possibility that the Mughal emperor Babar may have
purchased the land on which the mosque was built?
Furthermore, despite holding the demolition of the mosque was
illegal, it did not order that those who carried it out should be punished! Was
it because among those who destroyed the mosque were BJP stalwarts like L. K.
Advani? How can anyone claim the Indian courts are independent? Would the judges
have convicted a rape victim instead of the rapist? Yet this judgment is the
equivalent of convicting the victim instead of the perpetrator!
Not surprisingly, even the Congress party has welcomed the
Supreme Court’s controversial decision, despite submitting to the Court in 2007
that there was no historical evidence or proof of the existence of Ram. It
seems that the brainwashing of Indians is complete. Now, it’s only a question
of time before even the Taj Mahal is demolished as a Mughal monument. It is an
eyesore for Hindutva extremists (who cannot tolerate the fact that Muslims
ruled over India for eight hundred years).
I firmly believe that this judgment will prove to be the
final nail in the coffin for India. Minorities (including Dalits) comprise more
than thirty five percent of India’s population. They have reason to be very
scared. How can India survive if more than four hundred million of its citizens
are terrorized? How can they expect justice from Indian courts? The world
should take notice of what is happening in India.
