Waht's the definition of a monument? It has to be aman-made stricture of historical importance to the nation. Anything that people consider scared is not a monument. Is Ganges a monument? Why are BJP supporters lacking in basic sense of logic and common sense?
Some have commented: first they say he did not exist and now they say he destroyed it. Simple. The govt said Ram or Ramsetu is not proven historically. But in people's faith, Ram exists, based on Ramayana. and the same ramayana says Ram destroyed it. Actually, waht it shows how we are on dangerous grounds when we allow govt decisions to be dictated by faith and myths. Because for every version of one myth another contrary can be sited. That is the pitfall BJP theorists should realize.

acts lead to legend which leads to Myth over time...Yes, but with significant deviations. That's why there may be a core of truth in myths, but not the whole truth.

so you agree that the spineless govt is dictated by faith and myths--only you have failed to identify them--if what you say is correct why are we hankering after the babri masjid which was nothing but a dilaphitated building?
