Matter of faith!

Call your own self patriotic, abuse the rule of law, act like the most barbaric of kings whose acts you claim to be undoing, say it is all about faith and for the hundreds of crores (many starving), and keep celebrating since. What a shame. Dec 6 must have been a sad day for the Indian flag and anyone who cared any bit for the rule of law and therefore the nation.

All in the name of the great Lord Rama. Not sure if Rama was such a great leader, how he could be in favor of such a flagrant abuse of the rule of law.

His human followers, often the self-proclaimed patriots, clearly have no qualms.

The latest example of how we still talk of building the temple when what we must talk about is the abuse of the law: https://indianexpress.com/article/india/ayodhya-issue-supreme-court-is-ours-says-up-minister-ram-temple-5348897/

I suggest that instead of a temple, we make a monument that records in detail how the rule of law was abused on the day. Just the actual events. We should allow access to all the speeches that preceded the event, recordings of the event itself, all those who got killed for no rhyme or reason, and all those who have celebrated since and/or can't still stop celebrating. At least that way the future generations can judge for themselves. Hopefully, more of them than us will stand up for the rule of law.
