Genuine question! Can people provide a new religion (say #MastodonReligion , for argument sake) in the census or is it strictly from a predetermined list of religions! How many people are required to recognise a religion in India! #india
Oh dear God! What is with the obsession of constructing tall structures? And this one eclipsing India Gate?

I'm not sure why I'm saying all this.

I think it's because all the really good stuff in Twitter (@-replies, usable clients) was actually designed and built by users, not Twitter. Twitter, the company, didn't embrace those ideas until very late.

So three findings emerge:

1. That the 1949 installation of idols was illegal
2. That the 1992 demolition was illegal.
3. No evidence that Babri masjid was build by *demolishing* a temple.

Who is the wronged and who is the wrongdoer again?
