Babari Masjid incident is and will always be a black mark on our history(I am an Indian)..
For guys who are not familiar with the incident,
Babari Masjid was a Mosque which was built in 1527 by the orders of first Mughal king Babur. The mosque was situated at Ayodhya. In 1992 a large crowd of almost 0.15 m Hindu Volunteers rallied towards it claiming that there was a Ram temple at the place and Masjid was built after destroying it.
Ayodhya believed to be the birth place of Lord Ram(7th incarnation of Lord Vishnu), could actually had a temple for him(who knows)!!
The place were used by both Hindus and Muslims. Later, after the first signs of violence in 1859, British colonial govt. allotted special places for both. Everything was under control until 1949. Again peace was broken and the gates of the Masjid were closed for good. After that several attempts were made by the Hindu volunteers to attack the mosque.
On 6th December of 1992, exactly 22 years ago Hindu volunteers (i do not dare say the troops, everybody knows it) organised a rally of almost 0.15 million Hindu kar sevaks (volunteers) at the place of mosque. The rally include speeches by leaders. The crowd was more or less at peace at the first and their was police troops around the mosque. But a man somehow managed to sneak in to the mosque and brandished a saffron flag. This was taken as a sign by the protesters outside. They charged in to the mosque with axes and hammers in their hands. The outnumbered police could do nothing but stare while the kar sevaks leveled the whole Masjid in few hours. Several other mosques too were demolished on that day.
Whatever.. The incident has accelerated the clan war between the Hindus and Muslims which was already prevailing India since British rule and it spread like a virus all over India. Its effects were catastrophic. The immediate incidents after the act itself killed over 2000 men.
Even after 2 decades.. People have not forgotten the day.. Communal riots still take place every now and then.. Quite a number of children are injected with Religious Insanity.. Every child is taught not only to love his religion but also to hate and destroy other's..
"SO SAD THAT PEOPLE BASICALLY KILL EACH OTHER TO SEE WHO HAS GOT THE BETTER IMAGINARY FRIEND"
So far.. Human beings have got nothing from religions but have lost friends, family, and life for it.. Its high time we realize that religion can no longer unite people (as if, it has ever).. Throw away and be a human...
I DO NOT ASK YOU TO BE AN ATHEIST.. WHAT I REQUEST IS TO HAVE MUTUAL RESPECT.
