The verdict has annulled respect for history and seeks to replace history with religious faith. True reconciliation can only come when there is confidence that the law in this country bases itself not just on faith and belief, but on evidence. — Romila https://www.thehindu.com/opinion/op-ed/The-verdict-on-Ayodhya-a-historians-perspective/article15523346.ece

“The Ayodhya verdict will of course be read in the political context alone. Once you read the judgment in the present context, you will know the Supreme Court has failed to uphold liberty. This would mean that the lesson emanating from all this (Ayodhya Judgment) is that the present Supreme Court is part of an illiberal state. This is a dangerous trend for democracy.” - Kaleeswaram Raj, Sr SC Lawyer.

The core issue, really, is what kind of democracy India has become. Kashmir for India was always special, once a beacon for pluralism and accommodation in a diverse country. That plural approach now lies in tatters. The territory is ‘ours’, but the people are bitter, angry and alienated. Even words that can heal are missing from our lexicon.

They could prove only the “faith and belief” of Hindus and it was enough for the SC to give a judgment in favour of Hindus in a land dispute case.

“What was there before the Constitution was adopted is not the responsibility of the Supreme Court. There was no democratic republic of India.Then where a masjid, a mandir, a Buddhist stupa Or a church was… if we sit down to make such judgments, a lot of temples and mosques and other structures will have to be demolished. We cannot go into mythological ‘facts’. Who is Ram? Is there any historically proved situation? — Justice A K Ganguli
