Settling Ayodhya
Parties to the dispute should reach a compromise and resolve not to let the unpleasant history repeat itself elsewhere.
“Law is an ass” and “justice is blind” are oft-quoted proverbial expressions. The asininity attributed to the law and blindness to justice indicate, inter alia, that the ideal solution to every dispute may not lie in the dry bones of law or the blindfold of justice — reconciliation and compromises in a spirit of mutual give and take may yield more gratifying results. The impossibly complex temple-mosque dispute arising from the holy city of Ayodhya has sunk into a triangular quagmire of religion, history and law. A community conflict turned into an imbroglio, it belies a strictly legal solution acceptable to all. In such an intricate situation, reconciliation will be the most workable and ideal way to ensure lasting peace and social harmony.
