		The land was in the Ramjanmabhoomi Trust’s possession before being acquired by the government.
		Objections by the Vishwa Hindu Parishad and the Ramjanmabhoomi Trust as well as the Central Sunni Waqf Board and the All-India Babri Masjid Action Committee to the excavation were overruled by the court.
		Ramjanmabhoomi Trust chief Ramachandradas Paramhans, who had earlier opposed the court’s suggestion to excavate the site and threatened agitation, also fell in line.

	Mahant Gyan Das builds up a popular resistance to the VHP in Ayodhya
		Much before the Ramjanmabhoomi site attracted devotees to Ayodhya, the Hanumangarhi and Nageshwarnath temples were the chief destinations in the revered Ramkot area of Ayodhya.
		The mahant has been a consistent critic of the VHP over the last 10 years and is mainly responsible for the opposition to the "Ayodhya movement" within the temple town.
		He is part of the Ramjanmabhoomi Punaroddhar Samiti that, he says, is formed with the precise purpose of defeating communal elements in the country.

		One reason why the BJP has been insisting on a negotiated settlement of the Ayodhya problem is that it is fully aware of the pitfalls of a judicial verdict, which is bound to displease one of the two litigants involved in the dispute.
		When it opted for the Ramjanmabhoomi movement, it was at a loss for an issue which could energise its cadres, who were still demoralised after the crushing defeat in 1984 when the party was reduced to a mere two seats in the Lok Sabha.
		Yet, when the BJP turned to religious revivalism by supporting the VHP’s Ramjanmabhoomi agitation in its Palanpur resolution in 1989, it didn’t bother to reflect that it was making a departure from even its Jan Sangh past.

	That decision of VHP has hamstrung Babri supporters

		Subsequent to the dispute on Ramjanmabhoomi, a number of agreements were proposed to them.
		Ramjanmabhoomi supporters have been constantly demanding that the Court should give the decision on the disputed land as early as possible.

		As efforts continued to hammer out a mutually acceptable solution to the vexed Ramjanmabhoomi issue, the VHP has given indication of shifting its base from Ayodhya to the state Capital for ‘‘carrying out its preparations for construction of the temple at the disputed site’’.
		The Shankaracharya had held a meeting with Hindus and Muslims living in Ayodhya and Faizabad recently, and also paid a visit to Ayodhya and met local people belonging to both communities.
		While the Shankaracharya is already on the job, Vishwa Dharam Raksha Parishad president and Ramjanmabhoomi Trust member Baba Dharam Das and Shia scholar Maulana Kalbe Javed have undertaken a fresh exercise to reach a mutually acceptable solution.

		Ayodhya is in the grip of fear and confusion as Union Ministers and Uttar Pradesh administration speak in different voices about the security arrangements in, and the movement of kar sevaks to, the town.
		A WEEK before the Ramjanmabhoomi Nyas' proposed bhoomi puja at Ayodhya, it became clear that the Central government was succumbing to pressure from the Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) on the issue of relaxing security measures in the town.
		Three days earlier the Ramjanmabhoomi Nyas had, in a statement, asked the government to lift the curbs on Ram sevaks travelling to Ayodhya, remove the additional police force, allow the March 15 ceremony and hand over to it the acquired land by June 2.

		He went to the extent of stating: “The possibility of some mischievous elements using explosive to damage the Ramjanmabhoomi Babri Masjid structure cannot be ruled out”.

		The Bajrang Dal, or vanar sena (army of apes), as it is infamously called because of the wanton vandalism indulged by its members, was born 15 years ago, just as the Ramjanmabhoomi movement was beginning to roll off the ground.
		The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), which was spearheading the movement with the tacit blessing of the Sangh Parivar, had planned the Sri Ram Janki Yatra, from Ayodhya to Lucknow, which immediately ran into trouble with the Uttar Pradesh state authorities.
		The combat wear was equally fierce -- blazing saffron bandanas and shirts, glistening, giant trishuls and swords in their hands, and provocative slogans in the air.

		Sri Ramjanmabhoomi Nyas and Mandir Nirman Samiti president Paramhans Ramchandra Das today rejected the proposals on the Ayodhya issue being offered by Kanchi Kamkoti Shankaracharya Jayendra Saraswati and questioned his authority in dealing with the vexed problem.
		Declaring that the solution offered by the Shankaracharya was not acceptable to the samitis, the Paramhans said here that the solution to the dispute could not be brought by the Shankaracharya as the “total Hindu community did not regard him as their head”.
		He also said Sri Ramjanmabhoomi, the Kashi Vishwanath temple and the Lord Krishna’s birthplace in Mathura were ancient and historic sites and the issues related to those could not be overlooked as all the places were related to the faith of the Hindu society.

		They do not make any distinction between myth and history; in fact they parade myth as history, which in a way makes their reception easier.
		The history of Ramjanmabhoomi circulated during the temple campaign is a good example.
		The emphasis on the religious interpretation of history is a reflection of a general shift from a secular perspective to a religious orientation in education.

		The Ramjanmabhoomi temple issue needs a solution that addresses the underlying problems.
		I think that one solution based on the principle of least harm would be a temple.
		Assuming that Muslims will not allow Hindus to worship Lord Ram in a mosque, but at least some Hindus will not object to Muslims worshipping Allah in a temple, I think that a temple at the Ramjanmabhoomi site where Muslims will have a declared right to worship may be one solution.
