The biggest political trigger of our times, the Babri Masjid demolition and Ramjanmabhoomi dispute has been sorted out with the verdict of 9th November 2019.
Verdict & the Acceptance
The Supreme Court verdict has been unanimous involving judges from various backgrounds and stature. The apex court decided to give the disputed 2.77 acres to build Ram Temple and asked the government to find 5 acres in a prominent place in Ayodhya for a masjid to be built up. This order paves the way for a Ram temple to be built on the spot where the Babri Masjid was demolished in 1992, a long-standing demand of Hindutva organisations and the BJP, and around this site, some 67 acres have already been acquired by Yogi Adityanath government of UP in preparation to build a grand Ram Temple. The verdict has been largely welcomed by the ruling and several opposition parties. There has been no major news of violence or discontent expressed on the roads neither any aggressive celebrations. The Prime Minister addressed the nation without grandstanding or talking of vindicating his political position though compared this with the moment of the fall of Berlin, on which people may had diverse opinions. The ideological mentor of the ruling BJP, Sarsanghchalak Mohan Bhagwat of the RSS also addressed welcoming the verdict calling for focusing on “character-building” ahead and not stressing on the other disputed sites in Kashi and Mathura. The verdict perhaps heralds the end of Ramjanmabhoomi centric politics and whipping up of sentiments across more than a quarter-century in India.
So far so good. It is victory of peace and social harmony, and every Indian must welcome that. So it seems at least today.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
