[Goanet] Ayodhya verdict

To Goanet - Two big positives out of the ruling. One, no bloodshed (yet) - may it remain that way. Two, schadenfreude from seeing Burqa begum, Rajdeep Khan et al going sour that the Hindus' position about the temple being there has been (partially) vindicated. According to Burqa, Rajdeep
