Let Ram’s Ayodhya be Secular
=====================
This
is exactly what I suggested some 6 years ago in my
following email to our Policy Makers :
Reach - Out
Time ? [ 20 Sept 2013 ]
- where
I suggested as follows :
===================================================
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 )
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 “
=======================================
Over
the past 6 years , I made the same appeal repeatedly to :
#
All political parties
#
VHP – RSS – Sunni / Shia Boards – AIMPLB etc
#
Supreme Court
Then
yesterday I came across the following news report :
-
which reads as follows :
===============================
“
The size of the disputed land is very small . However, there is a barren plot
of land, measuring 67.7 acres, which was acquired by the government in 1993
We
are writing an open letter to the Prime Minister that the government should
construct ,
#
the Ram temple on that plot , and should
build
#
mosques , churches,
and places of worship for other religions as
well,
#
besides facilities for pilgrims , and
#
a library

founding president of “ The Vice Chancellors’ Collective “
Pathan
added that this could be an “ acceptable and
secular “ solution to an emotive issue and complimented the government
for having appealed to the Supreme Court to release the plot of land for temple
construction
“
Ours is an open letter; it is just a proposal on our part. We hope to gain
support for this from various stakeholders “ , said Sharad Nimbalkar ,{ dgicm_nagpur@yahoo.com }

===========================================
Dear Presidents of all the Political
Parties
,
Even
as you may be anxiously waiting for Shri Piyush Goyal to read out the Budget
speech in the next hour , I urge you to remember that the Vice Chancellors are
our GURUs
And,
in India we have a tradition of ,
#
revering them as “ Guru Devo Bhava “
#
offering “ Guru Dakshina “
There
can be no better Guru Dakshina than to treat their wishes as our “ Agnaa “
