The most painful part of the Babri Masjid verdict was that the evidence was not equal on both sides, yet the judgment still went the other way.
The claims made for the Ram Temple were largely based on assumptions and interpretations. Even the findings from the excavation were not a decisive or universally agreed-upon proof of a temple. Experts themselves disagreed.
On the other hand, the Babri Masjid had solid historical records revenue documents, government files, British-era papers, maps, and eyewitness memories. They clearly showed that the mosque stood there for centuries, prayers were offered regularly, and its entire historical existence was well documented. There was no doubt about this.
Despite this, the court after acknowledging that the demolition in 1992 was illegal handed the land over to the side whose claim was not supported by stronger evidence.
For many Muslims, this was deeply painful. They felt that although they had clear documentation and proof, the judgment still slipped away. The question continues to echo even today
Does equal justice truly treat everyone equally, or can the atmosphere tilt the scales?
