The Time is right…

The rich heritage and culture of India is eminent to this day and brings a great deal of pride to every Indian citizen. We are proud to belong to the land that produced great, learned people such as Chanakya, Gautam Buddha, Mahatma Gandhi, Babsaheb Ambedkar, Lal Bahadur Shastri and so many more. There is so much to learn, such a lot of wisdom to gain from them. So many religions have flourished in our country since ages, so many beautiful learning to be derived from Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Jainism, Sikhism, and so many more.


Then why do we let some vested interests take advantage of us, take advantage of certain situations for their selfish interests? We have had enough of destruction and bloodshed. We should put our foot down and not be made a fool by political parties who want to take advantage of people’s religious sentiments. We should give a fitting reply by showing these heartless, corrupt politicians that we will not fall prey to their evil schemes, we will not get brain washed by religious ideologies; we will not turn into a fanatic.


The time is right to show that we will not get carried away in the name of religion and personal beliefs. Those vested interests will not be successful in brainwashing us about trivial matters such a presence or absence of a structure built by human beings ages ago. It is time to be pragmatic and mature, to channel our energies in resolving greater challenges faced by today’s society such as – Extreme corruption, Poverty, Crime.


The day we will be able to proactively do something to eliminate the corruption, poverty and crime existing in today’s society, only then can we truly say – Today I built my Mandir / Masjid / Church. Today I built the temple / mosque / church of devotion for my God.

I broke down all the debris of Hatred and Prejudice.


I built a temple on the strong foundation of Love, Tolerance and Peace. I built it in a place – no one can destroy, I built it in my ‘Soul’…

The Time is right to stand up and say - I am not a Fool and I will no longer be fooled by these political parties and other vested interests. I have a steady head on my shoulders and the true learning of the Lord in my Heart.


“My soul is my temple,

The Lord resides in my heart

I do not seek any destruction or bloodshed

I don’t want to rip the society apart.


Peace and rational thinking is my anthem


Which I will forever truly abide

I will only stand up for love and peace


Sweeping all hatred and prejudice aside.”

The above argument is non-sensical. In 600 years of muslim rule, thousands of temples were destroyed, ancient universities like taxila and nalanda were razed to the ground and millions of indians were murdered and women gang raped and sold into sexual slavery. The babri masjid represents the victory of these wild animals over indian civilization the reconstruction of the temple is a historic necessity.
