Valson Thampu has a problem folks. “Should we remember Ayodhya? Or is it wiser to consign it to oblivion”, he wants to know. He has self-consciously chosen to couch his personal existential problem in Hamletian language. And that’s not a bad existential dilemma for a Christian priest in India He can leave it to other luna/fanatics belonging to his faith and his sect in the rest of the world to fight for Jerusalem. He has other more important issues on hand. Like the good Christian that he is, the good padre cannot bring himself to equate Jerusalem with Ayodhya. Should ‘we’ remember, he asks or should ‘we’ consign Ayodhya to oblivion. I like the ‘we’ because it is so delightfully undefined. Who is the ‘we’, I am tempted to ask because I did not invite him for a dialogue with me on this issue nor did I ask him to represent me. So who is the ‘we’ folks unless it is the royal ‘we’ befitting of all columnists writing for this paper?
