Ayodhya Dispute: How it All Began

June 1989: Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) gives formal backing to VHP, giving renewed life to the temple movement.

July 1, 1989: Fifth suit filed in the name of Bhagwan Ram Lalla Virajman.

October 1991: Kalyan Singh government in Uttar Pradesh acquires 2.77 acres of land around Babri mosque.

Dec 6, 1992: Thousands massed at Ayodhya demolish the Babri mosque, triggering widespread communal riots. A makeshift Ram temple is hurriedly built. Prime Minister P.V. Narasimha Rao vows to rebuild the mosque.

Aadhaar: How to get your unique ID from govt of India

India's ambitious Unique ID project dubbed "Aadhaar", which aims to give every Indian citizen a unique number mapped to biometrics, was launched on Wednesday in the Nadurbar district of Maharashtra. The Technoholik.com team got a sneak peek at the UIDAI (Unique ID Authority of India) tech centre in Bangalore, to tell you everything you need to know about the enrolment process. 

The setup 

The enrollment officer (EO) sits at right angles to you and enters data into a laptop. The insight of the Aadhaar team here is that the person getting enrolled must see what is being entered. Thus there's a monitor in front of you, which mirrors the enrolment officer's screen so that you can point out spelling mistakes or other errors. If the person getting enrolled is illiterate, he or she can nominate someone to accompany and verify. There's a small laser printer behind the EO's laptop and a webcam, fingerprint reader and iris scanner account for the remainder of the hardware setup. Unless, of course, you count the light bulb hanging from the ceiling and a white "roll-up" chart behind you for the "passport photo studio" effect! 

Compulsory information 

Name (first and last name compulsory but middle name optional), Gender (Male/Female/Transgender) and Date of Birth are the compulsory fields. Whereas postal address is also required, it's more for the sake of mailing your UID number than strictly being a proof of residence. The EO asks you for a PIN code and the city/district fields are automatically populated. The rest of the address is entered manually. 

Supporting documents 

The UID team acknowledges the fact that a large number of people may not have any supporting documents to prove their identity. In this case, one is allowed to bring another resident who is already in possession of an Aadhaar number to be an "introducer" by vouching for the person seeking to enroll. Of course, there is scope for fraud either with a colluding introducer or by just using fake supporting documents. However, the whole point of Aadhaar is that one can only fake one's identity once and this prevents large-scale "ghost identity" creation, which is the bane of most Indian government schemes. The great PAN (Permanent Account Number with the Income Tax department) card scam after all involved a single person creating thousands of different PAN numbers. 

Photograph 

A photograph is taken of the person getting enrolled, purely for the purpose of printing it out on the enrolment receipt, so that illiterate residents have some way of knowing that the receipt indeed belongs to them. Beyond that, the photograph serves no biometric or authentication purpose. 

Biometrics 

First there's an iris scan where you look into a binocular-like device held up to your eyes by the EO. After that it's the four fingers of each hand, followed by both thumbs (a process familiar to those entering the US) for your 10 fingerprints. 

The wait 

The EO makes you review the data entered one final time before giving you a laser-printed receipt. Whereas the residents of Tembhali, the "Aadhaar village", were to get their numbers today, the rest of us won't be that lucky. We'll only get to walk away with our receipts and have to wait for the actual number to be delivered by IndiaPost!

Supreme Court defers Ayodhya verdict by one week - Hindustan Times

Supreme Court defers Ayodhya verdict by one week - Hindustan Times

he Supreme Court on Thursday deferred the Allahabad High Court verdict on Ayodhya title suit by one week. The verdict was due to be pronounced tomorrow. The Apex court issued notices to contesting parties on the petition seeking stay on the Allahabad High Court order which refused to defer the verdict in the suit.

The court has fixes September 28 as next date of hearing. Giving its decision the Supreme Court said that the deferment is in public interest.

Earlier on Wednesday, the Supreme Court had deferred hearing on a plea to postpone the Allahabad High Court verdict on the Ayodhya title suit after a bench said it did not have the "determination" to take up the matter. The bench while refusing to hear the petition filed by retired bureacrat Ramesh Chand Tripathi.

Tripathi had approached the Apex court five days after a three-judge Lucknow bench of the Allahabad High Court rejected his petition for deferring the verdict and to allow mediation to find a solution to the 60-year-old Ram Janambhoomi-Babri Masjid title suit dispute.

English Translation of The Hanuman Chalisa

Doha

The dust of guru’s lotus feet having,

I cleanse the mirror of my soul sparkling,

Raghuvar’s spotless glory I be singing,

The four fruits of life it ever is giving.

I am void of all the wisdom but so realizing,

On the son of the wind am meditating,

Strength, wisdom, knowledge be his blessing,

Of the suffering and sin - may he be removing.

Chaupai

Victory to Lord Hanuman ocean of wisdom and virtue,

Hail the Monkey lord, illuminator of the three worlds.....(1)

Remover of evil thoughts and companion to the good.....(3)

So saying Sripathi, Sita's husband, drew you to himself.....(13) [[Ravi Manda: the above may be incorrect -[edited: Umesh] sahas badan - is my entire body; tumro jas gave - is hails your glory throughout. as kahi sripathi kanth lagaavein - this literally indicates that Rama is Vishnu's avatar. Sri means Lakshmi, hence Sripathi is Vishnu.]]

Sanak and the great sages, Bhrama, and the holy saints,

Along with Narada, Sarasvati and the king of serpents......(14)

Yama, Kubera and the guardians of the quadrants,

Poets and scholars- none can truly express your glory.....(15)

And became Lanka's King, as all the world knows.....(17)

You leapt across the Ocean - not surprisingly.....(19)

Every arduous task in this world,

Becomes easy, by your grace......(20)

You the guardian of Ram's gate,

None enters without your consent .....(21)

All bliss one finds when taking refuge in you,

When you are there to protect why should one fear?.....(22)

With your glory you enlighten the world.....(29)

You are the guardian of saints and sages,

The destroyer of demons, darling of Lord Ram .....(30)
