It’s Nearly Five Hundred Years: Will Sri Rama Return to his Home At Last?

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the demolition of Babur’s Masjid. Or more accurately, it marks one of the most decisive and irreversible turns in reclaiming at least a significant facet of Bharatavarsha’s battered soul. But a fundamental question arises when we survey the events that transpired in these 25 years: is there such a thing as an infinite delay in the path of irreversibility?

The answer seems to be yes.

The deeper we dig both into contemporaneity and history, it becomes the more apparent that there must be something fundamentally amiss in the wiring of the Hindu psyche to allow repeated destructions of their people, temples, institutions, values, and their way of life and still not learn anything from it.

Let it be said that this delay in constructing the Sri Rama Devasthana in his very birthplace, Ayodhya is unforgivable. You lose your civilisational memory that much longer, it fades away into oblivion that faster until you reach a point where you forget what you stand for.
