Ayodhya Verdict

I had never thought that i would be promoting this anytime in life, but looks like Sri Harivansh Rai Bacchan has thought of this day much earlier in life. Today we stand at a juncture where i feel uncomfortable to talk to few of my friends for the religion stands like a wall in front of us.

I have always believed in the lines "Mazhab nahin sikhata aapas main bair karna" (Religion never teaches/preaches hatred). But guess whatever be the verdict today, the religion would have sowed in the deep rooted hatred in few of the hearts which would take ages to be cleaned up.

Hence, quoting my favorite lines from Bacchan Sahab's Madhushala,

मुसलमान औ' हिन्दू है दो, एक, मगर, उनका प्याला,
एक, मगर, उनका मदिरालय, एक, मगर, उनकी हाला,
दोनों रहते एक न जब तक मस्जिद मन्दिर में जाते,
बैर बढ़ाते मस्जिद मन्दिर मेल कराती मधुशाला!
