"It is distressing to see that even after 62 years of Independence, India is getting nervous because of one verdict," says a retired security expert.
In lieu of the impending decision by the Prayag High Court (I hate to refer to that Hindu holy city as Allah-a-bad) on the Ayodhya case, the nervousness on the Hindu side, Muslim side and the Political side is understandable because our prior mistakes and historical wrongs are coming back to bite us. All the sins of the Congress of conveniently brushing the atrocities committed by the Muslims under the carpet either in the name of secularism or vote bank politics has become an Indian Pandora's box which is now going to be opened in the face of this generation. Thank you Congress!!! They forgot the saying “what go around comes around”. The Congress ploy to stay in power by dividing the majority and pleasing the minority may have borne fruits and bought superficial calm, but for how long? This distress towards the verdict exposes the shallowness of claim of the nation’s unity. The nation has to be truthful about its past to its people and future generations; it cannot suppress the facts as per the ruling party’s whims and fancies. The neighboring state of Pakistan is one such example. The Congress had no problem in including the Jallianwala Bagh massacre in our history books but left out the terrible riots of 1921 (the Moplah Rebellion) after the fall of Ottoman Empire, the Khilafat in Turkey and the Karachi resolution. Why? Because the Congress did not and does not need the British votes but were depending on the Muslim votes and continue to do so. Justice delayed is justice denied.
During the Moplah rebellion the Kerala Muslims, without provocation, murdered, raped, and forcibly converted thousands of Hindus, just because distant Turkey had abolished the Caliphate. In early 1940s, the Indian National Congress veterans like Late Mr. Abdurehiman, and even Mahatma Gandhi termed this anti-Hindu aggression and rebellion as "Freedom Struggle

Why the Ayodhya judgment makes people nervous
Sheela Bhatt explains why the judgment in the title suit in the Ayodhya case -- despite a delay of over half a century -- still comes at the wrong time for the Centre and several state governments.

Like Shri Swami Thambi, I also refer to the holy city as Prayag and not by its Musalmai name.
