The New York Times has reported on a decision by the Indian Supreme Court on the long-disputed religious site of Ayodhya. "In a case that spanned centuries of religious history
and languished in the legal system for six decades, an
Indian court issued a historic ruling Thursday on the ownership of
the country's most disputed religious site by effectively
handing down a split decision: granting part of the land to
Hindus and another part to Muslims. . . . The Indian public
absorbed the ruling [which is likely to be appealed] with a
calm that leaders framed as evidence of the nation's
maturation and commitment to religious
tolerance."
