Ayodhya verdict,CWG and shooting in Old Dehli

Just to tell you I had forgotten to post this!!!

Namasté!

Lot's of things happening in India at the moment. The headmaster sending emails all the time to assure the safety of our children. I had to admit it is a bit uneasily but all expats mum comforting each  other.

• Some weeks ago shooting incident  in Old Delhi in which two tourists were shot.

• Lot's of schools were closed yesterday because many were afraid of riots reagarding  a verdict that would be  delivered in a long running and highly controversial case.  The American school decieded there were no reason to cancel the school. All is calm today (yet) 

This is what it's all about! A long time ago....

In the 1500s a Muslim ruler demolished a Hindu temple in Ayodhya town and built a mosque in its place. In Hindu mythology, Ayodhya is one of the seven holy cities and it is said to be the god Rama's birthplace.


1949  God Rama's idol was showed inside the mosque and the site became to be the subject of dispute between Hindus and Muslims.


1950 left the matter to the court for the first time in 2002 and commence the trial of ownership

Questions to deal with:

whether it really were god Rama's birthplace

whether it were a mosque, when it was built and if so, by whom,

whether the mosque in this case were built after the temple demolished,

whether God Rama Images placed in the mosque during the night between 22 to 23 December 1949, the passing of time makes the land can be considered as time-barred (for whose benefit?)

how the site  now should be considered

The Commonwealth Games is an international, multi-sport event involving athletes from the Commonwealth of Nations, it was held in India some weeks ago.
Months before the games it was news about that the villages for the athletes was in bad condition and was not going to be ready in time. Only days before opening a bridge collapsed that was going to be used by audience. In the last minute everything was ready for the game. The put up big signs to hide the slum areas!

During the games the government had lot's of shop owners closing their shops and poor people were removed far away from Dehli. Many of the expats went away for holiday, lot's of school closed because it would not be any traffic jam. One traffic file was opened just for the athletes.

After all,CWG was a huge success particular in the view of the sport results for India. "We" came second  place and that was what we aimed for . Australia came first place and I think England third place.
