A nation waits

30/9/10

A verdict that has been coming for 60 years. It is expected any moment now.
Today is judgment day. Two sections of the society warred over a location they claimed belonged to their 'god'.
A lot of blood spill later and a lot of disharmony that rocked the biggest democracy in the world.
Our secular country was brought to a standstill. Today yet again we all await a verdict with bated breath.

Its not just the judgment of the long impending case by the High Court.
But More so about the decision of the people.

The decision of the people to keep the peace.
Peace is a responsibility. Peace is necessary. Peace is the call of the hour.

Today we will find out just how 'great' our nation is.
Today we have the chance to move away from the 3rd world tag.
Today we get to show our progress and growth.
Today we get to show our unity and strength.
Today we get to show our solidarity and secularism.

Today can be a fantastic day. Its our choice.
Hope my country chooses well.
