It was a cold morning. We had our 10th standard test examination. After wake up from bed, my father had told that, the examination was temporarily postponed due to the societal tension caused by Babri Masjid-Ram Janm Bhumi debate at Ayodhya. We have a very social town, where presence of both the Hindu and Muslim are strong enough. It is Murshidabad, the land of Nawabs, where we have seen numerous co-existences of Mandir & Masjid. We had not any tension on those days, but considering the nation wide politico-religious dilemma our town administration had decided to calm down the civil society by closing down regular activities. That drama of Ayodha was a focus on those days due to the craziness of those day’s political leaders. They had mobilized the general public to act against the traditional image of Indian-hood of “Ahimsha Param Dharma”. 
Now almost 20 years has past. That generation of those political and religious leaders has become older. A new generation has came into force. In last 20 years India become a more matured state and it has started feeling its power of societal generosity. Now new India has started believing that its huge population is not its weakness, rather it is its strength. Now new India knows that, the co-existence of various socio-religion statures makes its statehood stronger and better. In this context, the verdict of Allahabad High Court is significant.

On the evening of 30th September, 2010 the Honorable High Court has declared that, the land of Ayodhya’s disputed area is neither belongs to Hindus or Muslims, rather it is a place of mutual co-existence. The Court has divided the land in three parts and distributed among Nirmohi Akhara, Ram Lalla Group and Sunni Wakf Group. Nirmohi Akhara, which is a sect of Hindu beliefs, was also a party of the disputed land case and it has also got its share. So far law is concerned this verdict can be challenged on higher courts, because it acts as a negotiator, rather diverting it from the traditional concept of “Law is blind.” But this verdict has proved that, law is also a living “atma.” The verdict has opened a new era of legality which is based on humanities and livelihood. Law is a based on common sense and its bigger role is to give justice to the truth. The very truth underlying beneath the Indian civil society always echoes the mutual co-existence and peace. It is the land of Gautam Buddha, King Ashoka, King Akbar, Ramakrishna, Vivekananda, Rabindra Nath Tagore, Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and so on. It is a land of human faces. It is a land of unity in diversity. The court verdict of Ayodhya disputed land has proved the nation’s bigger perspective of humanitarian belief and unity in diversity.
Today’s India has grown up lots in last 20 years. Today the politicians are scared of its national unity and integrity. Today’s politicians know that, if they try to play with its national belief then they will be thrown out by the Indians. Piliticians are afraid because today's Indians know how to move forward inspite of all difficulties. Today’s politicians know that, the people who reside in this young country are Indians, and Indians only.
Quote from The Oxford History of India by Vincent Smith: The most essentially fundamental Indian unity rests upon the fact that the diverse peoples of India have developed a peculiar type of culture or civilization utterly different from any other type in the world.
