Ramjanambhoomi has been one of the major social issue post Independence and after demolition of disputed structure it
became a hot political issue with major parties taking sides to whatever their
ideology fitted best. Some accused BJP of taking a political mileage of the
issue but none can deny that it’s because of organizations like BJP and RSS
which took a stand on these issues we still have a chance to restore our lost cultural
heritage . And also to see BJP still standing with this issue while they have
already proved their work efficiency in many states and central government .
While many liberals may argue that as Hindus the society
should show a big heart and let the matter be resolved by carving an academic
institute or hospital on the Ramjanambhoomi but they don’t understand the issue
of Ramjanambhoomi is not for a piece of land . India as a country is very big
and land for such a cause can be provided, but Ramjanambhoomi should be seen as
a evident proof of our historic culture which is a symbol of our roots to our
cultural history . When a panel of ASI says that there are evidence of temple
below the Ramjanambhoomi then it’s the responsibility of a society to respond to a
call for greater cause and conserve its roots.
To give my view on why we or to say why I want restoration
of Ramjanambhoomi .Let us consider a hypothetical scenario of we building a
hospital or anything apart from a temple there .I have a guest from some
foreign land and as we are hindu society it will be common for him/her to hear
the word Ram also our rich culture and customs do make people curious about tradition
and religious figures , so at that point
he might ask me who Ram was and we as a proud Indian and Hindu follower start
telling all the things from Ramayana how Ram protected the society values by
going on vanvas how he defeated Ravana how he established a society where
anyone can ask question to the king after all of this will come the big
question where was Ram born what will we say he was born in Ayodhya at a place
which we identify as his birth place but cannot make a temple or a structure
which can value that place just because we want to be liberals . the same
person who few minutes back was applauding our society values will move and go
away with a laugh that a country which boosts of cultural value where more than
80% of people belong to Hindu faith failed to restore and save the symbol of
their culture . and suddenly a proud Hindu and Hinduism which is considered as
intellectual religion by the world will become a joke is this what we want.
Many Hindu specially so called liberal and intellectual give
preaching of what has happened in the past should be forgotten to build a great
future and for this should we all forgot our long heritage or we should forgot
how cruel emperors forced conversion and looted our country barbarically or the
past should be used as a teaching to build a society structure where we don’t repeat
historical mistakes. And if we don’t do these corrections we should be ready to
accept criticism by the coming generations as they will definitely question our
contribution in restoring the social balance and cultural values of the Nation.
So for me and I believe millions like me Ramjanambhoomi is not just any other
temple or land it’s a pride symbol of our long struggle and how we survived and
reestablished ourselves even after numerous attempts by intruders to destroy
our society .
