  • Ayodhya Verdict - UPSC Notes Context
    Ayodhya Verdict - UPSC Notes Context The Supreme Court delivered a landmark judgment in the Ayodhya land dispute case. The five-judge Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi read out a unanimous judgment and ruled in favour of the Ram Janmabhoomi and said there will be a Ram Mandir at the disputed site and Muslims will be given an alternate 5 acre land for their mosque. What is the crux of the dispute? At the crux of the matter is the belief among sections of Hindus that the Babri Masjid, named after Mughal emperor Babur, was built in Ayodhya after destroying a Ram Temple that marked the birthplace of the deity. The Hindu parties wanted the land to themselves, contending that Lord Ram was born at a spot on which later the central dome of the mosque was built. The Muslim parties, however, contended that the mosque was constructed in 1528 by Mir Baqi, a commander of Babur’s army, without demolishing any place of worship and since the land rights had not been transferred to any other party, the space was rightfully theirs. Chronology of the Ayodhya dispute 1528: First Mughal Emperor Babar is believed to have constructed Babri Masjid. The three-domed mosque built by Mir Baqi, commander of Mughal emperor Babur, in 1528 is in the Jaunpuri style. 1885: Mahant Raghbir Das moves Faizabad court seeking permission to construct a temple in the vicinity of the Babri Masjid. The plea is declined. 1949: Idols of Lord Ram were mysteriously found inside the mosque. The Muslim side claimed it was the handiwork of the Hindus, while the Hindus wanted to worship the idol.

  • Stratigraphy of the Late Proterozoic Sullavai Group, Pranhita-Godavari Valley, Andhra Pradesh
    Indian Journal of Geology Vol. 66, No. 2, p. 124-147, 1994 STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LATE PROTEROZOIC SULLAVAI GROUP, PRANHITA-GODAVARI VALLEY, ANDHRA PRADESH T a p AN C h a k r ABORT Y Geological Studies Unit, Indian Statistical Institute, 203 B. T. Road, Calcutta-700 035 ABSTRACT Mapping of about 800 sq kms in the southwestern outcrop belt and study of selected sections has led to the subdivision of the Late Proterozoic Sullavai Group of the Pranhita-Godavari Valley into three formal lithostratigraphic units, each of the status of a formation : (a) Ramgiri Formation, a coarse-grained, purple to red arkosic sandstones and conglomerates, (b) Mancheral Quartzite, a red coarse-grained quartzare- nite and (c) Venkatpur Sandstone, a fine-grained, salmon red quartzose to subarkosic sandstone. Venampalli Sandstone Member and Kapra Sandstone M em ber are defined as two formal members within Ramgiri Formation Paleocurrent pattern indicates that the alluvial fan-braided river deposits of the Ramgiri Formation and Mancheral Quartzite were derived from the opposite flanks of the basin sampling different source terrain. Ramgiri Formation was derived from Archean (?) granite gneiss complex cropping out to the south. Chert layers of under­ lying Pakhal and Penganga Group, and a quartzose sedimentary rock (Pranhita Sand­ stone of Penganga Group ?) fed the Mancheral river system. Mancheral and Ramgiri alluvium appear to have been the major source for the aeolian Venkatpur Sandstone that shows persistent northeasterly flow direction. In contrast to traditional “layer-cake” concept, regional lithocorrelation reveal a complex mosaic of different stratigraphic units. Consequently, it is difficult to propose a ••generalised” stratigraphic succession for the Sullavai Group.

  • TIF - the Ayodhya Verdict Dissected
    TIF - The Ayodhya Verdict Dissected SAIF AHMAD KHAN February 7, 2020 A view of the Babri Masjid overlooking the banks of the Sarayu as viewed in a late 18th century painting by William Hodges | Wikimedia A close analysis of the Supreme Court's final judgement on the Ayodhya dispute that has been criticised as much as it has been praised for how it has brought about closure The Supreme Court on 12 December 2019 dismissed the 18 review petitions which had been filed in response to its Ayodhya verdict. Although the Ayodhya title dispute lasted for over a century, the apex court acted in the swiftest possible manner while disposing of the review pleas. It did not “find any ground whatsoever” to entertain the review petitions after having “carefully gone through” the attached papers that had been submitted. Despite the Court’s benevolent view of its judgement, the truth is that the verdict pronounced by the five-judge bench on November 9 was full of contradictions. To put it plainly: the Supreme Court chose to bow down before the forces of majoritarian thuggery and extremism. Logic and law were conveniently set aside by the top court to appease a certain radical section of the society. Attempt to pacify the Muslim litigants To do complete justice in the Ayodhya dispute, the Supreme Court invoked Article 142 of the Indian Constitution. Technically speaking, Article 142 can be employed in cases of second appeal. The Ayodhya title dispute wasn’t heard at the level of a district court. It came directly for hearing before the Allahabad High Court.

  • Ethnic Parties, Material Politics and the Ethnic Poor: the Bahujan Samaj Party in North India
    Ethnic Parties, Material Politics and the Ethnic Poor: The Bahujan Samaj Party in North India Sohini Guha, Department of Political Science McGill University, Montreal December 2008 A thesis submitted to McGill University in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) © Copyright Sohini Guha, 2008 Abstract Many studies explore the determinants of support for ethnic parties, and the consequences of such parties for democracy. This dissertation addresses these questions through a study of the Bahujan Samaj Party (B.S.P.) in India's largest state, Uttar Pradesh (U.P.). The BSP is India's only successful lower caste party, and gained greatest support over the last two decades in U.P., which it now rules. The dissertation argues that material benefits, delivered on a programmatic basis, account for the success of the B.S.P., and perhaps other ethnic parties too, among poorer groups. It also indicates that the B.S.P.'s consequences for democracy -on the whole positive- have depended both on its ties to society, and the breadth of visions of community reigning among its core supporters. The conclusions are based on analyses of electoral results, the caste background of party candidates, patterns of ownership of land and other resources, extensive interviews with party leaders and activists, and ethnographic studies of representative villages in U.P. The argument about the reasons for support questions an assumption common to psychological theories of ethnic voting- that poorer groups vote for ethnic parties because they draw symbolic empowerment from the material ascendancy that ethnic parties secure for coethnic elites.

  • Ayodhya Dispute: Mosque Or Temple
    Ayodhya Dispute: Mosque or Temple Why in news? The Supreme Court’s verdict in the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute is expected soon. What is the brief history of the Ayodhya dispute? The Ayodhya dispute is a political, historical and socio-religious debate in India, centred on a plot of land in the city of Ayodhya, located in Faizabad district, Uttar Pradesh. The issues revolve around the control of a site traditionally regarded among Hindus to be the birthplace of the Hindu deity Rama, the history and location of the Babri Masjid at the site, and whether a previous Hindu temple was demolished to create the mosque. In 1885, Mahant Raghubar Das had filed a suit seeking permission to build a temple in the Ram Chabutara area. Mohammad Ashgar, who claimed to be the Mutawali of the Babri mosque, opposed the suit. While he did object to demarcation of the land by a few inches, he did not raise substantial objections. The suit was dismissed; the court was of the opinion that granting permission to build a temple would amount to laying the foundation of a riot between the two communities. The Babri Masjid was destroyed during a political rally which turned into a riot on 6 December 1992. A subsequent land title case was lodged in the Allahabad High Court, the verdict of which was pronounced on 30 September 2010. In the judgment, the three judges of the Allahabad High Court ruled that the 2.77 acres (1.12 ha) of Ayodhya land be divided into three parts, 1.

  • Here. the Police Stopped Them at the Gate
    [This article was originally published in serialized form on The Wall Street Journal’s India Real Time from Dec. 3 to Dec. 8, 2012.] Our story begins in 1949, two years after India became an independent nation following centuries of rule by Mughal emperors and then the British. What happened back then in the dead of night in a mosque in a northern Indian town came to define the new nation, and continues to shape the world’s largest democracy today. The legal and political drama that ensued, spanning six decades, has loomed large in the terms of five prime ministers. It has made and broken political careers, exposed the limits of the law in grappling with matters of faith, and led to violence that killed thousands. And, 20 years ago this week, Ayodhya was the scene of one of the worst incidents of inter-religious brutality in India’s history. On a spiritual level, it is a tale of efforts to define the divine in human terms. Ultimately, it poses for every Indian a question that still lingers as the country aspires to a new role as an international economic power: Are we a Hindu nation, or a nation of many equal religions? 1 CHAPTER ONE: Copyright: The British Library Board Details of an 18th century painting of Ayodhya. The Sarayu river winds its way from the Nepalese border across the plains of north India. Not long before its churning gray waters meet the mighty Ganga, it flows past the town of Ayodhya. In 1949, as it is today, Ayodhya was a quiet town of temples, narrow byways, wandering cows and the ancient, mossy walls of ashrams and shrines.
