Should the undisputed acquired land be used to build Ram mandir? Nation At 9

In 1915, Albert Einstein was busy publishing his theory of general relativity. The logic of a space time continuum was explained to us for the first time. At a given time, only one thing can exist in a give place, but a different time, a different thing may occupy that space. Einstein could not find a centre of the universe, perhaps one doesn’t even exist. But for many Hindus, the birth place of lord ram is the centre of their faith. There is no other birthplace. The particular site is bound by the space time continuum, only one thing can exist there at a particular time. For 70 odd years, we've been debating the point. Without much success and now we've realised that perhaps as back to basic approach is better. In 1993, the home minister in Narasimha Rao's govt acquired 60 acres of land around the disputed ram Janmbhoomi site. That land was never disputed, today is central govt property, but has a status quo order from the Supreme Court, which means nothing can be done with it. If the Supreme Court was to lift the status quo order, a Ram Mandir complex could begin construction, leaving only the disputed 2.7 acres and the less than a third of the acre of the site where the Babri Masjid building actually stood untouched, to be resolved after the supreme Court rules on the matter. The govt has proposed this to the Supreme Court today, a ruling is awaited. Needless it to say, there are some who are up in arms calling it a ploy. Whatever it may be, it would be a step towards a solution. A solution this country desperately needs. A solution which, in the space time continuum of things, would suit the BJP were it to happen now, rather than later. So can the logic of this win? Why didn't we just do this earlier? Should all sides at least agree on the undisputed land?
