WHY JANUARY 22?

Will anyone oppose building a temple in India? Of course, no one will. An organization or a recognized authority definitely can build the temples wherever they want provided it does not damage the harmony of the country. People of different Religions coexist peacefully in this land and a basic tolerance is an unofficial or natural demand that is expected of every citizen of the country. 

Hence a Temple can definitely be built, and so too a mosque or a church. I hope and expect that the new mandir that is built in Ayodhya will ensure the safety and security and peaceful co-existence of the other religious people living around the temple and elsewhere in the country. Though it has already become a political temple, I want it, at least here after to become a religious symbol rather than a political symbol. 

Well. However, I have a question to raise? Why did they choose January 22 for the inauguration of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya? This is a question that might not have been asked by many. why was this date chosen for the inauguration of the mandir and not something else? Is this date the most auspicious date in the calendar year? Or is it the birthday of Shri Ram? or a Random date that is chosen before the General Election of the country?

I was thinking that the date was a random date chosen until I received a whats-app message yesterday. we have been such fools to forget the most brutal murder that damaged the name of the country, namely the gruesome murder of Pastor Graham Staines. the murder took place on 23 January 1999. It marks January 22 marks the completion of 25 years of the murder of the Christian missionary?

Is the date for the inauguration chosen at random? Even if the nation does not want to know, let the nation decide...
