This Bhattacharya is ignorant,so he seems to be ignorant of the fact that a secular Govt has no business to meddle in the religious affairs of any community.But secularism in India is so warped that only Hindu temples are in the clutches of the Govt,which instead of being a Trustee,loots the temples and misuses the temple funds and properties,mostly for un-Hindu purposes.The Govt dare not interfere in the religious affairs of other communities.They are free to use their funds any way they want.The temple funds were generated by the devout,temple-going Hindus.Atheists have no moral right to control them.The tantri of Guruvayur is held in respect by Hindu devotees.He is not paid any salary by the Devaswom.It is a duty he performs in accordance with tradition.Ravi krishna could have obtained a certificate from Arya Samaj before entering the temple to create the controversy,because he is aware of the tradition!Does anyone have the guts to ask Christians and Muslims to change their traditions and customs?Why take Hindus for granted?
