Solving issues and not suppressing them leads to true unity and integration! Lord Ram has been the guiding light for Indians since time immemorial. We all should work hard so that values like justice, righteousness and prosperity which epitomize Lord Ram are celebrated every day!

Growing up in Allahabad,a city with Ganga-Jamuna culture,I loved watching Ramlila-a tale of compassion,co-exsistence,honour and dignity.Lord Ram saw goodness in everyone and our conduct should reflect his legacy.Don’t allow the agents of hate to come in the way of love and unity.

The Supreme Court had delivered a landmark verdict to hand over the 2.77-acre site claimed by both Hindus and Muslims for a Ram temple in 2019. The apex court had also ordered a five-acre plot at a different site in Ayodhya for a mosque.
