Babri Masjid and the court

Though it would have reflected better on India to go to court before demolishing the Babri Masjid it is still a good thing that they are in court now discussing what to do in that area. We all do wish that governments and courts should not be dragged in to religious issues but its happening all over the world. The authenticity of whether the place was Ram Janam bhoomi lies on how old the belief is. If it is a belief that just originated in recent politics then it does not hold any ground. Typically property ownership is decided by who owns the papers. But considering hindu sentiment (not cooked up political sentiment), if this place was for thousands of years before Babar, considered Ram Janam bhoomi then muslims should be gracious enough to give room for a temple. After all Babar is just a King to everyone including muslims and Ram is god to hindus. The temple builders are in general considered trouble makers but there might be some solid facts in all the noise. Discussions will help discern the situation.
