Fearing holy site unrest, India bans bulk texting

Because of the ongoing 60 year case of the holy site in the town of Ayodhya, India is banning bulk text messages that could lead or egg on sides to perform acts of outbreak or violence. Emotions are running high, and the texting could induce "hurt feelings" to say the least. The holy site was originally Muslim territory, but now is up in the air as Hindus are claiming their right for the spot, as they were the first to raise the Babri Mosque in 1992. The judgment of the case is still explosive, as the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked for peace in the newpapers.
