An earnest the most important appeal as I see to the Hon’ble Prime
Minister, Shri Narendra Modi ji to urgently focus on the following
long-pending national issues:
(1) Free Hindu Temples from Government Control:
Restore autonomy and religious freedom; no other faith institutions face
such control.
(2) Rational Review of Minority Status; Communities that are no longer
minorities in number should not continue to get minority status.
(3) Strong Leadership for Education Ministry:
Education needs a competent, articulate, and nationally rooted leader—Shri
Sudhanshu Trivedi ji is one such capable choice.
(4) Decisive Action on Illegal Immigration
Deportation of illegal Rohingya and Bangladeshi immigrants is essential for
national security and demographic balance.
(5) End the Reservation System from Its present form:
Reservations were time-bound; the purpose and period have long since
expired. A merit- and need-based system is overdue.
Shared for reflection and serious thought.
KR Vital thoughts anxious prayers but if I give you the Govt what
will you do under the constitution keeping in mind the- THE APEX COURT,
STATES WITH THE DIVERSIFIED THOUGHTS AND THE PUBLIC WHO DO NOT GIVE 2/3 ED
MAJORITY.

KR Hindu temples in India are largely controlled by state
governments—specifically through Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments
(HRCE) Acts—to manage vast, often mismanaged, funds, ensure fair access
across castes, and oversee administration, a practice rooted in
colonial-era policies. While proponents argue this ensures transparency and
public welfare, critics cite violations of religious freedom, political
interference, and mismanagement.
Arguments in favour of state control of temples
The debate over state control of temples in India is a complex issue, with
proponents arguing that it ensures transparency, proper management, and the
public good. Here are some key arguments in favour of state control of
temples:
Preventing Mismanagement and Corruption
Transparency and Accountability: Proponents argue that state control can
help prevent the mismanagement of temple resources, including funds and
donations. By placing temples under the purview of government authorities,
mechanisms for oversight and auditing can be established, ensuring that
resources are used for their intended purposes such as public welfare,
community services, and maintenance.
Addressing Historical Corruption: Some temples in the past have faced
allegations of corruption and nepotism by private custodians or trusts.
State involvement, it is argued, ensures checks and balances that mitigate
such issues.
Public Interest and Social Welfare
Revenue for Social Welfare Programs: Temples in India, especially large and
prominent ones, generate significant revenue from donations and other
offerings. State control ensures that a portion of these funds is directed
toward public welfare initiatives, such as education, healthcare, and
community development, benefiting a wider section of society beyond the
immediate devotees.
Inclusive Management: State control helps ensure that temples serve all
sections of society and that resources are not monopolized by any one group
or sect. It can also ensure that marginalized groups are not excluded from
participating in religious activities.
Maintenance and Preservation
Cultural Heritage Protection: Many temples are ancient and are considered
part of India’s cultural and architectural heritage. State control allows
the government to undertake the necessary conservation, restoration, and
maintenance efforts. This is especially crucial for older temples that
require significant funds and expertise to preserve their historical and
cultural significance.
Infrastructure Development: The state can ensure that adequate
infrastructure, such as roads, sanitation, and security, is developed
around important temples to accommodate devotees, which may otherwise be
neglected by private management bodies.
Preventing Sectarian Control
Preventing Domination by Particular Castes or Sects: In many cases, temples
have been controlled by specific castes, sects, or families for
generations, leading to the exclusion of other communities. State
intervention is seen as a way to democratize access to temples and ensure
that no particular group monopolizes religious institutions. This can
promote inclusivity and reduce social divisions based on caste or religion.
Secular Oversight: Some argue that secular state control can help prevent
religious institutions from being influenced by fundamentalist or
regressive ideologies, ensuring that temples operate within a framework
that respects pluralism and social harmony.
Legal and Constitutional Basis
Constitutional Provisions for Social Welfare: The Indian Constitution
allows the state to intervene in the management of religious institutions
if it is in the public interest. Proponents of state control argue that
this is in line with the Constitution’s directive principles, which aim to
promote social welfare and prevent the exploitation of religious resources
by vested interests.
Judicial Support: There have been several court judgments upholding the
state’s right to control religious institutions, especially when it is
aimed at preventing mismanagement or ensuring broader public benefit.
Uniform Management
Standardized Practices: State control can bring about uniformity in the
management of temples across the country. This can include uniform
guidelines for the handling of finances, the appointment of priests, and
the conduct of religious ceremonies, reducing the possibility of arbitrary
or discriminatory practices. However, 2/3 majority in both houses are
needed for the constitutional amendment BUT THE PEOPLE ARE GREEDY, SELFISH,
SELF CENTERED WRT THE CASTE GAMES AND FREE ELEVATIONS AND IF SO, HOW A
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT AGAINST THE STATE POLITICIANS HOAERSE CRIES, WOULD
EVER BE PERMANENTLY RECOGNISED? EVEN IF MINORITY ALLOWANCES ARE WITHDRAWN,
ULT REVOLUTIONS INSTIGATED BY THE OPPOSITION WILL ASUNDER THE NATION. THE
ONLU REMEDY WILL BE THE MAJORITY TO REVOLT VOLUNTARILY AGAINST THE STATE
GOVERNMENTS AGAINST THE POLITICAL INCEPTIONS OF THE OPPOSITIONS, GIVING
ARMS LENGTRH FOR THE RULING PARTY TO AMEND AND STILLL GET AWAY; BUT WE ARE
BACK-BONELESS.
Promotion of Secularism
Balanced Secularism: In a country like India, where religion plays a
significant role in public life, proponents argue that state control of
religious institutions can be a part of the secular governance model. The
state does not interfere in religious practices but ensures that religious
institutions do not become centres of power or wealth accumulation that
bypass social responsibility.
Recent Controversies and Renewed Demands
In recent years, there has been a growing movement for “freeing temples”
from state control.
Several political and religious leaders have called for reforms to restore
autonomy to Hindu temples, arguing that religious institutions should be
managed by the religious community.
These efforts have gained momentum in states like Tamil Nadu and Karnataka,
where there is increasing pressure to revoke state control over temples and
return administrative power to religious bodies.
The Tirupati Laddu controversy and other issues related to temple
governance have revived the debate.
The Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD), which manages the temple, is one
of the wealthiest temple trusts in India, and its management decisions
often come under public scrutiny.
Controversies related to funds, rituals, and prasadam have sparked renewed
demands for autonomy, with Hindu groups arguing that such matters should be
handled by the devotees rather than bureaucrats.
Conclusion
The call to free temples from government control is part of a larger
movement aimed at redefining the relationship between the state and
religion in India, with an emphasis on ensuring that Hindu temples enjoy
the same autonomy that other religious institutions in the country do.
The issue of state control over temples in India remains complex, balancing
the need for transparency and accountability with respect for religious
autonomy.
While the government plays a role in managing temple affairs, ongoing
debates suggest that reforms may be needed to ensure that temples are
governed in a way that aligns with both constitutional principles and the
religious sentiments of the communities they serve.
(3) Strong Leadership for Education Ministry:
Education needs a competent, articulate, and nationally rooted leader—Shri
Sudhanshu Trivedi ji is one such capable choice.
(5) End the Reservation System from Its present form:
Reservations were time-bound; the purpose and period have long since
expired. A merit- and need-based system is overdue.

Trivedi 2 interviews show that RSS cannot even have a break even in
Mumbai after 17 years of BJP ruling and if so, how they will make 1.2
billion of India or at least 72 million do accept literally? He could not
win the election but entered through the Rajya saabha only. WHY I AM ALSO
THERE LIKE HIM. But none of us can change the mob tendency induced by the
opposition anti-Hinduism.
WHETHER TEMPLES OR THE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS OR HOSPITALS OR
HOUSING CONSTRUCTIONS, LAIZZE-FAIRE MUST BE ADOPTED; WHERE THE TTD OR
APOLLO OR BIG UNIVERSITIES TEND TO GO CORRUPT, GENERAL LAW OF CRIMES MUST
BE ADOPTED WITH SEVERE PUNISHMENTS EXCLUSIVELY, INCLUDING THE
MISMANAGEMENTS OF THE PROSECUTORS AS WELL AS THE JUDGES IN SUCH A WAY, THAT
THEY MUST LIVE ONLY IN PRISON. CORRUPTION CAN ONLY BE MITIGATED BY ABSOLUTE
FORCE. THERE CANNOT BE STATE AND CENTRAL INSTITUTIONS AT ALL; STATE CAN
HELP GOVERNANCE FOR THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE AND AS BASIC TAXES ARE AT
CENTER SO TOO BASIC NECESSITY ALSO MUST VEST WITH CENTER ONLY. FOR THIS
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS ARE NEEDED AND AGAIN IT COMES BACK TO PEOPLE.
Reservation must be withdrawn only when both houses do pass the
bills withdrawing as per the constitution. In between the Military and the
Police, there must be a para-forces to control the mob. And as Judiciary is
independent, so too the executive shall be made independent with least
proof of corruption and heavy punishment including his/her relatives; and
no one will agree to all these things and so we have to grin and bear all.
