Hinduism in Crisis
The Supreme Court verdict on Babri Masjid-Ram Temple dispute not only exposed the judicial biases against Islam and Muslims, but also highlighted the crisis Hinduism as a religion and Hindus as a nation have been going through for quite some time.
The verdict admitted a few significant findings.
- Muslims did not demolish the Temple to build the Babri Masjid.
- Muslims did not build the mosque on the site of the Temple, whose existence is not proven.
- The idols of Hindu deities did not emerge miraculously in the Babri Masjid; rather, they were placed under the Masjid dome by miscreants.
- Hindus, under the leadership of the current ruling party, religious saints, and Hindu organizations, demolished the Masjid brick by brick. It was not the first time that the Hindus harmed the Masjid. Several attempts in the past were made to demolish the Masjid.
All these recognized facts prove one point. The Hindu religious and political leadership used fabricated facts, lies, and concocted myths to promote their claim on a piece of land they allegedly called Ram Janam Bhoomi.
It proves beyond doubt that to justify their claims, the Hindu leadership can go to any length. A religious leadership that uses deception, lies, concoction, and violence to satisfy its self-perceived ideas cannot claim to represent the faith or deities they want to serve. The leadership thrives on falsehood, violence, and lies.
It is an internal crisis of Hindus and their faith. It is a crisis that is destructive to its core values.
Hindus always have claimed their faith to be truthful, tolerant, and peaceful. But the narrative they concocted to take control of the land of Babri Masjid was built on hatred and violence. They did it in the name of Ram and other religious deities.
The construction of Ram temple would not save Hinduism. Anything built on falsehood does not last. Even though the Hindu leadership might have succeeded in winning a piece of land for Ram, but they have initiated the process of the destruction of their faith.
