Demolished Poem by Unnikrishnan Sivasankara Menon
Demolished
(1) The Descendant
A descendant of Timur and Genghis Khan
Babur inherited a tiny country state
at the age of twelve, but lost it soon
to other claimants from his own family
He crossed the Hindukush mountains
in search of greener pastures
in the land of the Five Rivers,
defeated Ibrahim Lodhi, Sultan of Delhi,
conquered the country states
established a large empire,
the Mughal Empire, but remained a raider,
demolished temples to build a masjids.
(2) The New Raiders
Centuries later, for mere political gains
the hindutva party demolished the masjid
cried for building temple in its place claiming it
as the Janmabhumi, place of birth of the god.
Decades pass, the party wins elections
with the agenda of building the temple
coerces the judiciary to get a verdict planned
finally builds the temple in the ‘Janmabhumi'.
the head of the nation calls for celebration
nationwide on consecration of the temple.
the pradhan mantri of the nation stoops down as
the pradhan tantri of a temple, of a community.
he demonstrates, he represents just one religion
adding to the insecurity of other communities
demolish the democratic and secular traditions
of this nation, as enshrined in its constitution.
its constitution demolished
by the new raiders!
5) …. a missing clause in comment no. (4) : please read "all the five judges of the Supreme Court who were on the Bench that gave verdict on the lines desired by the Pradhan Tantri..
4) I wrote, " coerces the judiciary to get a verdict planned". My stand in the matter is vindicated as the government/ its proxies has officially invited all the five Judges of Supreme Court to the consecration ceremony, as a " for tat". Do you need any more evidence?
3) So, it transpires that the Hindutva party has wrongly claimed the place as Ram Janmabhumi with the ulterior intention of playing the Religion card to garner votes, hoodwinking the voters. Pity, the voters fall for it..
2) As Ayodhya or any place in Uttar Pradesh and nearby states were not inhabited by humans before 3200 years and as Lord Ran lived 8000 years ago, Ayodhya (as it is called now) can not be the birthplace (Janmabhumi) of Lord Ram. This is a very important revelation
1) Famous Researcher Sai Papineni in his book "HYMNS OF HARAPPA" states, based on facts revealed on excavations and as proved by international community that the history of human settlements east of Delhi dates back upto 3200 years, whereas Ramayanam is 8000 years old
