Hi Juliusz,
Thanks for the guidance.
Few pointers:
1) I waited for almost 10 minutes but Babel does not seem to recover
from the ! routes automatically.
It does so only when I restart the babel daemon
2) -S seems to be working fine.
But the issue is the state file is written only when we shut down the
daemon and it is erased when we again start the daemon
if someone pulls the plug of the host or the host crashes, there is no
state file written and we are back to the original problem
Is there any solution for this apart from using the -r option?
Regards.

That's normal if you're not putting the state file in persistent
storage (you're losing your seqno when you reboot, and Babel's loop
avoidance mechanism gets confused). Babeld should recover from this
after 3 minutes at most.
The proper solution is to point babeld at a persistent filesystem
using the -S command-line flag. If that's not possible, you can work
around the issue by using the random-id config file directive or
the -r command-line flag.
