All's well that ends well...even if that takes 60 years!

It's a decent verdict and quite balanced. Seldom do we find such instances in legal history wherein we need to consider multiple factors before pronouncing a verdict. In this case; religious sentiments, economic downturn, frivolous turmoils and the perception of people on various elements of faith. Having said that, it is imperative to realize that such a judgment is extraordinary and cannot be put in the bracket of any other normal judgment that is otherwise made. We as onlookers cannot expect each other to strictly view it in terms of legal facts alone, but must give room for other considerations as its the only way that can make us feel content. Yes, its only the matter of content, cause if it wasn't so then none of us would be enraged with what we're getting or what we're not. Its after all peace that needs to prevail, under all circumstances.

There have been few people who have raised their voice against this verdict vociferously. Its possible that they are genuinely disappointed as who knew we'll have a verdict that would come out with the disputed land being sliced into 3parts. For now, its more important to sit back and take into account what would happen if the verdict was in favor of one party alone. Its only that one question, is it worth it? Repercussions of a horrid kind are certainly not any sane person would desire. Therefore any knee-jerk reaction would only result in a horrifying error, impacting many.
