You all must have heard about ‘Unity in Diversity’. This proverb certainly suit for INDIA, where you will see people with numerous races, castes, creeds, religions, languages and cultures. The high mountain ranges, vast seas, large river-irrigated lands, countless lines and dark forests, all these have adorned India with an exceptional diversity. India is a country where diversity is at its peak. Here, people of different religion and caste live together with unity, and speak different languages while keeping each one’s identity and values unique.
Since my childhood, I have been noticing that India being the second largest country by population has a wonderful amalgamation of caste, creed, religion and that’s all with love and by sharing love with each one and everyone. And honestly, such was all like a dream to me until 9 th November’2019. On 9 th Nov’19, 10:30am, one verdict came which proved this proverb more strongly. Eventually this changed my thoughts on this as well. This was about the long pending case, ‘The Ayodhya Verdict’ or The ‘Babri Verdict’ (whichever suits you!). This verdict was all about politics, historical and socio-religious debate on a piece of land in the city of Ayodhya.
This was perhaps the most longest-running battle in India’s legal history which was filed 134 years ago and concluded just now. For the decades, this case has wound its way up through the legal hierarchy, starting from Faizabad civil court to lucknow bench to the Supreme Court, passing through various evidences, hearings, and more. The verdict was supposed to impact millions of life as this was between the majority and minority. Before the verdict, the Govt. of India issued an advisory to maintain peace, stay calm, etc. Section 144 was imposed across the states of Uttar Pradesh, and in some parts of Delhi, Haryana, etc. All sensitive areas (Muslim-prone areas) were kept under close observation. People were continuously asked to maintain peace.
However, somewhere in my heart, I was stick to one point about which I am writing here: Unity! This word had home in my heart and this verdict certainly proved that as well. The verdict came and to my all surprise, things went off well. It’s been like 10 days and I can see peace everywhere and across the places. People are happy, and calm. No issues were reported where in even a single person was hurt or violence. This is True India where irrespective of different thoughts, all are friends, moving ahead holding each other’s hand. They all are people of my country. Humble, Calm and Peace-loving!
So people, stay happy, stay healthy. Don’t listen to the politicians as they will only distract you, break you and part you. Follow the learning of Brotherhood and keep growing.
