The Temple!

The temple is getting built where it is supposed to.  There are at least few thousands such spots where temples should be standing but that's not the case because these temples were destroyed as an act of oppression, as an act of bigotry, as an act of suppression, as an attempt to destroy a civilization, as an attempt to destroy a culture, as an attempt of destroy a language, as an attempt to destroy a philosophy, as an attempt to impose fundamentalism, as an attempt to impose a foreign ideology that has no relation with this land, as an act of subjugation. 

Let there be no equivocation or political correctness about it. Let there be no debate over whether we should build a hospital or a school at that site. That whataboutery has wasted precious resources of our nation for decades and worse, made us double guess our faith, our tradition and our history. The truth alone has prevailed but not without sacrifice of lakhs and not without absolute faith of crores. 


Now on to Kashi and Mathura!
