Supreme Court's Addendum Confirms Ram's Birthplace in Ayodhya Using Religious Texts

The Supreme Court's addendum, authored by one of the five judges on the Ayodhya Bench, references religious texts like the Ain-i-Akbari (a 16th-century Mughal administrative document) and the Bala Kanda of Gosvami Tulasidasa to affirm that Lord Ram was born at the site under the central dome of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya.

The document emphasizes that Hindus' belief in this location predates the mosque's construction and is rooted in scriptures like the Valmiki Ramayana and Skanda Purana.The court acknowledges the validity of these religious works, stating that such faith is not groundless and can be considered credible evidence.The addendum also notes that travelogues and books about Ayodhya are admissible in legal proceedings.

This conclusion aligns with the broader Ayodhya verdict, which resolved the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid dispute by allocating the disputed site to Hindus while providing alternative land for the mosque.The ruling underscores the importance of historical and religious narratives in legal interpretations, balancing faith with legal reasoning.
