Statement on the Babri Masjid judgement today

PP Pirate Praveen Public Seen by 50

We could just collect good responses from people and echo it (with links) and add our own perspective.

"Listen. Don't despair. We knew this was coming.
This was a purely political judgment made by those in power. It does not change the truth. Truth is eternal and truth always wins.
Whatever has happened, has happened. We know we are right
Let's not be defeated or lose hope because if we do, we are giving them exactly what they want.
Democratic ideals may have taken a beating today but we'll rise again, provided we work towards doing so."

> Does it appear as if a majoritarian judgement was delivered within a majoritarian ethos to please the majority? Does it set a precedent? We have an ancient history when entire cities have been built on the ruins of other cities. (Delhi was razed and rebuilt seven times).

i agree with @vik@hamara's opinion that forcing someone to feel ashamed is anti-constitutional. agreeing with the proposal to publish the statements since it's removed.

I've not had enough time to read about Ayodhya, Babri Masjid, etc. From my initial impressions, I agree with the idea that democracies should protect everyone and not just the majority. But I won't vote on anything related to Ayodhya/Babri Masjid till I'm better educated. (And that's a hard thing to do given that the events in question happened before I was born, even)
