Why can't we build a Hospital at the dispute site - Ayodhya?



Lately more than needed attention is being given to the Ayodhya episode and it has created quite a fuss. But my question is what is the fuss is all about? Why all the state government is on back foot? Why we have to always turn defensive just because a land is named Ayodhya or a river called Cauvery happened to flow since last 1000 years. I dont want a riot, you don't and the third person too. Then who are we afraid of? Who are those handful who can mobilize the mass? They are none but just few part leaders who actually wait for such episodes to gain wide media coverage. Its the media which enables a flame to become a tragic fire. This blown out of size media attention makes it a target for such filthy politician to pay the goons and get riots started. The administration is well aware of them but they become silent onlookers.
We know India is not a secular country except for in constitution, we know india is not a facilitator of free speech and right of equality except for in constitution. Its time we must stop pretending and come to accept that fact. If something is attached to mass emotion or religion it will be breached by politicians for selfish gains for the next thousand of years.
Why the supreme court has to give a verdict which can dismantle the stability at all? why can;t it just say at the dispute site they will construct an "Anathashram" for all religion. why can't they build a charitable hospital at the disputed site? Why we have to build a temple or masjeed?
Ask the local public what the need the most a hospital or a shrine. The government must now change its motto. It must like nature, provide the mass what they need and not what they want. Need will let them survive, want can only spill havoc in the time to come. Cause human fantasy has no bound and there deep with in every one lurks a beast waiting to come out. Want is evil, need is not.
Its high time we need to change the perception we carry. Initiatives like the "Aman ka tamasha"  "Aman ki asha" of Time of India can increase the sell of their circular but never achieve what they claim they want to.
Not using a weapon is not the existence or peace, feeling no need of it can. "peace is not the absence of crime, its the presence of justice" - Harrison Ford. I beg to differ. when there exist ideal peace, the term justice, injustice, war, crime fade away. Justice is not a measure of peace. The absence of the need to justify is the presence of peace. ayodhya and godhra will continue to come and live a threat to our lives as long as we as a whole feel affected by such things. At the end we are mortals, so are the lands, issues and the memories. History is a dead body, present is lively and future is blur. Lets not fight over a dead body making the present blur and future dark. Lets do the reverse way. forget the history into the dark, keep the present bright and future... let the people of the coming age decide how they want it.

Abinash
