closure, move on - from a set of liberal commentators (mostly hindu upper caste) who are patronisingly talking over everyone, speaking for everyone with no sense of their fatuity https://twitter.com/HartoshSinghBal/status/1193437638662881283

“'Even if the criminal case finally ends in punishment for the guilty, it'll mean very little, because what the accused sought in Ayodhya has been achieved—their arguments have been given judicial sanctity.' from 2010, but the same idiocy is heard today https://t.co/KgC2rkioxU”
I made the heavens, the earth, the universe and everything in it in six days. Six. Fuckin. Days. I was working on a tight schedule. Might have forgotten to install a couple of things. Like Justice.
Go easy on me.
Haunted by this. Beradt, the woman who collected dreams during the Third Reich:
"After her release, she began secretly recording the dreams of her fellow-Germans. For six years, as German Jews lost their homes, their jobs, and their rights, Beradt continued making notes. By 1939, she’d gathered three hundred dreams."

Greetings!
Setting up some perspective as I begin tooting here:
This is our planet seen through the rings of Saturn, image taken in all three RGB spectral filters and stacked together by NASA's Cassini Spacecraft in 2013. Earth's distance from Saturn in this particular image is 1.44 billion kilometres or 0.00015 light yrs. All of life that we know of exists on a rock floating in space, an almost spiritual perspective nullifying any self-imposed importance we have mistakenly given to ourselves.
I don't want to say much about tomorrow's judgment, but I do want to make one point. The case being decided tomorrow is a land dispute that was instituted decades ago, and pre-dates 1992. Tomorrow's verdict is not and cannot be an endorsement of what happened in 1992, no matter how much some people want to portray it that way. It's a ruling on a land dispute.
I think we do ourselves an equal disservice if we follow this pattern of escalation and make it out to be about something that it's not.
