>> If there's evidence for some structure built over an ancient one, it should be contested in the judiciary

You continue to obfuscate and conflate.

The claim to #RamJanmaBhoomi still remains unproven

Religious zealots forced #SCOINDIA to give it a veneer of respectability despite any proof that #Rama was born at that specific geolocation in #Ayodhya.

That set an ugly precedent, and we are already seeing #DragonTeeth appear in other locations, most recently in #Varanasi #India

>> existence of a past structure is not enough evidence of existence of someone

That strikes at the HEART of #RamJanmaBhoomi claim. That's where #SCOINDIA massively erred, & that's why #DragonTeeth will continue to grow in #Indian soil

>> existence of the said character is "irrelevant"… what's "important" is the underlying social/spiritual message presented by the literary work.

Legal disputes are settled on evidence, NOT on "social/spiritual message presented by literary work"

⬆️ @vidyarthi

The dishonesty is in taking #archeological surveys to #SCOINDIA and convincing a billion people that the existence of a temple (human artifact) at a specific geolocation is evidence of the birth of a divine character presented in a literary work (another human artifact).

Existence of a temple for a character in a poem may be proof of faith in that character, but not of the actual birth of that character in the real physical world.

>> it's best to let the judiciary decide on this matter

Sure, let 34 justices decide everything in a land of 1.4 billion.

The 34 justices of #SCOINDIA will crap their pants and sarees if a credible dispute ever arises over #TajMahal or #JamaMasjid.

This is the point you keep missing and are unable to engage on.

>> If someone takes over your house

Juvenile analogies don't work here. That's why you have no answer to my question about #TajMahal or #JamaMasjid

These are not simplistic real estate issues involving contemporaneous parties. Separated by centuries, this is more than "your house". These are historic, cultural, and religious monuments as well.

And who has standing here?

34 justices of #SCOINDIA have opened #Pandora's box with #BabriMasjid #Ayodhya #DragonTeeth
