After a long deliberation, and after detailed analysis of archaeological, historical, literary, and legal data, the Allahabad High Court concluded that a Hindu temple was destroyed and the Babri structure built in its place. The judgement also accepted the Hindu claim that the site was holy and that there is a long and continuous tradition that it is the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi. Despite this unequivocal status, under the guise of secularism, the Janmabhoomi was divided. This was not the issue before the High Court, and so the Hindu side has contested the division in the Supreme Court. The Hindus have a right over the whole area, and this right needs to be respected. |
