socrates Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 but i have one question Temples are now under government control, but we still see news of Dalits being banned or stopped from entering temples across the nation. If so-called demands, such as freeing temples from government control, are implemented, under whose control will they fall? Will these incidents of Dalits being barred from entering stop or increase?

11_MohanReddy Posted September 23 Report Share Posted September 23 Why should you and I be able to have a say in what happens inside temples? If the new board says no dalits, they should be allowed to do that. If Hinduism suffers because of their restrictions, it should suffer. At the end of the day, it is a religion that people can chose to be a part of. Government should not have any say. There is no need to preach about social justice here. Religion does not have to accommodate social justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has nothing to do with Hinduism. I am not crying if they convert to Christianity, and Hindus have no right to cry as well. At the end of the day, people should have a choice in the religion they follow. If Hindus want to attract more people to follow their religion, they will allow dalits. If not, they won't. Same with women entering temples. Religion is a private affair and Government should not have a say in it. There is no room for social justice as we know of it in religion unless it prohibits their fundamental rights. For example, women in Islam should have the freedom to wear what they want, but that doesn't mean they should be allowed into Mosques. The Government has no right in saying that Women should be allowed to in mosques. So, why should the government have a say in saying Dalits should be allowed in temples? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small villages lo there are still some old habits in practice.. as everyone knows everyone, it is hard…. People will change eventually if they are punished.. Cities and big temples lo, unless you declare your caste or religion, no one will object anyone from entering a temple unless someone you know complains Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But churches and mosques are not under the Government, so there is no equality in Christianity and Islam where discrimination happens and Government doesn't have a say in it. So to keep it consistent, Hindus should be allowed to discriminate like Christians and Muslims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govt lost balls to get waqf board or churches under it. TDP criticized ycp giving free hand to conversions , now when they are in power they have no guts to attract then back to Hinduism. What say ?

I oppose this kaka.. The temples should be under GOVT control.. otherwise it is tough to control this Temple Mafia... majority of the land would be taken over by this mafia in the name of God. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so-called demands, such as freeing temples from government control, are implemented, under whose control will they fall? Will these incidents of Dalits being barred from entering stop or increase? Largely rests with Hindu society in case of temples. By definition Temples are Private spaces and are not open to people who don't confined to beliefs. Have you seen any churches under government control in US, Canada or EU? Early on temples used to be run under patronage of kings and land lords (for some time). A broader consensus shall among the Hindu society will prevail as to control of temples by non government bodies. Wrt.entry caste based restriction on temples entry has by and large have gone away barring few stray incidents. Constituted governing bodies shall have policies in place for day to day administration and at the end of the day, they are in India and shall remain under the jurisdiction of courts.
