The problem does not end as there is going to be appeal in supreme court. However, the long wait is weakening the communal sentiments and people are returning to sanity. The environment today is far better than that in 1992. I expect supreme court will also take sufficiently long time to dispose appeal yet to be filed and by then the sentiments will further fade.
Incidentally, I visualize that at the disputed site, there will be ultimately commercial complex or a park called Babri Ram Complex, with statue of Lord Rama in between. The name of mall may be shortened to B.R. mall and ultimately people would forget everything about the dispute.
