Ayodhya & Kartarpur: No Unity Or Reconciliation Possible Unless...

The Quint  

On further reflection, it seemed to me that it is not a coincidence that the two historic events have happened on the same day. And the Supreme Court’s judgement has paved the way for construction of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya. In one case, it is a step towards reconciliation between India and Pakistan. The name of God which he reverentially mentions most number of times in Sri Guru Granth Sahib is that of Hari – as Ram, Raja Ram, Raghunath, etc. At the very least, this goes to validate one truth that seems to have influenced the judges of the Supreme Court in their unanimous judgement – namely, faith in Ram has been deep-rooted and widespread in India for centuries.
