Truth and Reconciliation simply won't work in the Hindu-Muslim context, and here's why: Past atrocities against Hindus that the Muslims committed were based on their _religious beliefs as outlined in the Quran . And the Quran is unalterable_ . Hence it is naive to expect that Muslims of today will perceive the past actions, *which were based on their Holy Book* , as being wrong. For Truth and Reconciliation to work, the first step is to acknowledge as wrong what was done earlier. Hence, in the Muslim-Hindu context, "truth and reconciliation" will be an absolute non-starter. Those who suggesting it have simply not understood the basic problem.
The same is true when suggesting that one can't blame today's Muslims for past destruction. Let me repeat that the past destruction was based on their Holy Book. And today's Muslims believe completely in the same Holy Book! If today's Muslims have no connection to past atrocities, they would acknowledge these as wrong, and would work with Hindus in handing over at least the important holy sites (such as Kashi and Mathura). Instead, they are fighting tooth and nail to oppose every legal case. In the Gyanvapi case, when a judgement favouring the Hindus was read out in a lower court in UP at 10am, the Muslim side was in the Supreme Court in Delhi at 2pm to appeal the verdict. Anticipating this, the redoubtable Sri Vishnu Jain was also there at 2pm, much to the surprise of the peacefuls. Hence, to expect any reconciliation from the Muslims of today shows *complete ignorance* of the basic problem.
Great discussion.
However, is it possible to decolonize by using Sanskrit words? So, instead of "temple," use "mandir"?
Murti, not idol. Darshan, not worship.
If this does not come from Shri Sampat, then who else?
