Exactly!! This Act has no relevance to Ayodhya nor do we as Hindus need to wait for surveys or whatever.
The constitution came into effect 1950, the only reason nothing has been built to thos day is
Muslim appeasment and anti-Hindu elements hindering the temple process




Key timelines in the 1948 constitutional process
  • 1946 Britain decides on to grant independence to India and cabinet mission is dispatched to India to discuss modalities for transfer of power
  • 14 August 1947 Proposal for creation of committees is tabled
  • 29 August 1947 Drafting committee is established
  • 6 December 1947 Constituent Assembly formally convenes for the first time, following elections, to start the process of writing a constitution.
  • 4 November 1947 Draft is finalized and submitted
  • 1948 – 1949 Constituent Assembly meets in sessions open to the public
  • 26 November 1949 Constituent Assembly adopts final draft making it official
  • 26 January 1950 Entry into force of the new constitution

If Modi is a genuine Hindu as he makes out, then only BJP can deliver what they promised during elections...Otherwise there will never be a Ramji temple.
I hope the Hindus in India understand how important it is and they should continue to keep supporting BJP (Modi) no matter what.


It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
