Dear Shri Sri Ravi Sahankarji :
Pranaam
At the outset , I wish you success in your efforts to find an amicable
solution to the decades old issue of Ram Mandir at Ayodhya , through a
multi-party dialogue among all the stake-holders
Some 4 years back , I had proposed following solution and , over these 4
years , I have continued to send my proposal to many thinkers / politicians /
religious leaders
And , since ALL the concerned parties have publicly announced that they
will accept whatever the Supreme Court decides in the matter ( - most possibly
because of their realizing that an out-of-court settlement is highly unlikely )
, I have also sent my suggestion to the Supreme Court
I urge you to consider my proposal and , if you consider that it is in
the nature of “ Give and Take “ , request you to share it with all the
concerned parties
With Regards,
hemen

Narendra
Modi claims that the Muslims of Gujarat have buried the ghost of Godhra and a
great majority of them voted for BJP in the recent State election
There
have been many communal ( anti-minority or anti-majority ) riots in most of the
States of India since independence
It
does not serve any purpose to keep doing post-mortem , again and again
It
is obvious that the new generation ( including the descendents of the victims )
want to close the chapter and move on to a better / peaceful life
If
, development of Muslims brought about a harmonious communal relations in
Gujarat , surely it could be replicated on a national scale , all over the
country
Narendra
Modi has a fantastic opportunity to drive across this message by incorporating
the following ACTIONS in BJP’s 2014 Election Manifesto :
Ø Resettling
of riot victims ( belonging to any community and residing in any state ) , in
Government-built houses , within one year of coming to power
Ø Simultaneous
dismantling of , so-called “ Minority Ghettos “ , thru dispersal of minorities
throughout the cities , for better integration within a city’s majority
population
Ø Granting
Cabinet Minister status to the Chiefs of Minority Commission / Women’s
Commission / Human Rights Commission
Ø Providing
for greater representation in the Central Cabinet to the people of the
North-Eastern States and the Naxal affected areas
Ø
Ø Up
gradation of the educational institutions belonging to the minorities
Ø Greater
representation to Minority Youth in “ Skills Development Program “ under NSDC
Ø At
the disputed Ayodhya site , creation of a “ World Peace Complex “ comprising of :
· Ram Temple
( for Hindus )
· Mosque
( for Muslims )
· Church
( for Christians )
· Temple
( for Buddhists )
· Synagogue
( for Jews )
· Akshar-Dham (
for Jains )
* Gurudwara ( for Shikhs )
· University
for Comparative Studies of World Religions
· Hospitals ( like Netralaya / Hridayalaya
)
· India Heritage / History Museum
· Business
Convention-cum-Industry Exhibition Centre
·
* Tourist Complex
· And
right in the center of the complex , a
giant statue of the “ Father of the Nation “
I
invite readers to add to this list
Even
if for all the wrong reasons [ viz; 2014 Elections ], let BJP not miss this
opportunity to initiate steps for integration of the minorities into the
mainstream of political / economical / social development of our country
It
is about time to exhibit , BJP’s truly “ Secular “ nature ( non-UPA
variety ? )
It
is time to stop mere Congress-bashing ( with which , people are fed-up ) and
promise some genuine positive actions to the minorities
And
of all the leaders of BJP , who is better placed for such
“ Pro-Activism “ than Narendrabhai ?
Carpe
Diem ( Seize the Day ! )
