Yesterday, on the 12th of October I was invited to attend 2 interesting meetings
1) Seminar on Ayodhya Judgement organized by All India Secular Forum
and
2) 5th Anniversary of Right to Information (RTI)...going strong and doing a great job!
The event was jointly organized by PCGT and Indian Merchant's Chamber (Anti corruption cell)
Some of the eminent persons connected with the programme:
Retd Chief Info commissioner, Suresh Joshi, Narayan Varma, Justice Suresh Hosbet, J F Ribeiro, Mayur Nayak...

There is a very interesting article in the Times of India, Mumbai Oct 12th 2010.
It is Babri Masjid revisited by Maulana Wahiduddin Khan.
In the Seminar on Ayodhya Judgement I attended, some points:
(I hope I have not misunderstood the points or I may be using wrong legal terms for which I apologize)

Under the law Ram Lala (The idol of Sri Ram) can file a case, it has been recognized since 100 years...
There is a ruling that the places of worship after 1947 will remain where they are except for Ayodhya...
Even though it cannot be 100 % established that the idols were there, faith is important. In tribal areas a tree which is worshipped is not easily uprooted...
The idols have established long time possession...
Also
It was a mosque for 400 years...
