Sunrise over Ayodhya : nationhood in our times / by Khurshid, Salman,author.;

Includes bibliographical references."In a unanimous verdict on 9 November 2019, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the construction of a Ra temple at the disputed site in Ayodhya. The Babri Masjid-Ram Janmabhoomi conflict has been a critical crack in the national fabric of our country, carefully nurtured and developed after the trauma of Partition. For decades, successive governments as well as activist groups of concerned citizens hoped to find an amicable solution to the dispute. The ebb and flow of sentiment responded to political fervour, with the latter often prompted by the former. Efforts to reach a negotiated reconciliation continued even as the Supreme Court prepared to hear the case of the century. Ultimately, the highest court of the land settled down to decide what many legal scholars will continue to describe as a hard case. The final judgment carefully balanced principles of law with the inevitable question of equity to bring a sense of closure to a dispute that threatened to rupture India's unique social unity. Through this book, Salman Khurshid explores the landmark judgment and how it offers a great opportunity for the reaffirmation of India as a secular society"--Jacket flap.

Abandoned sacred places / by Joffe, Lawrence,author.(CARDINAL)813797;

Africa -- The Middle East -- Asia -- The Americas and the Pacific -- Europe.From Roman temples to Buddhist shrines in the Chinese desert, these hallowed halls have been abandoned to nature. More than 200 outstanding images show what happens to sacred places when humanity retreats. What happens when the congregation moves away from its place of worship? Or when shifting borders or persecution mean that people can no longer reach their church, synagogue, or mosque? Through magnificent, sometimes haunting images, Abandoned Sacred Places explores more than 100 lost worlds, including ancient and modern temples, synagogues, churches, mosques, and stone circles. Organized geographically, this unforgettable volume wanders from Stonehenge in England and Carnac in France to crumbling inner-city churches and synagogues in present-day Detroit and Chicago, from Mayan pyramids in Mexico to Hindu temples lost in the Indian jungle.
