entry of non-hindus inti temple
by Prasanth Nair on Jun 07, 2007 10:12 AM

I have read the interview.To a large extend i support the views of tantri.Unless the law permits no non-hindus should be allowed in a temple as it is a sacred place of worship and not a tourist spot.As far as i know Ravikrishna is brought up as a hindu and believes in hinduism.Just because his mother is a christian how can we say that he is a non-hindu.In that case wont the temple authorities allow a european hindu(converted) to enter the temple and worship the diety just because he/she is born to a christian/muslim mother.Now regarding the law making about entry of nonhindus ,it should not be resticted to temples only but applicable to places of worship of all faiths in india.Will the so called pseudo-secularists dare to make such a law rather than imposing a law applicable only to vulnareble divided hindus?As far as i know the income from temples are taken by the govt.Why dont they do the same for churches/mosques/gurudwaras?Why such a partiality?If India is a secular country then all religions should be treated equally instead of giving special right to muslims/christians/sikhs/budhists in the name of minority.I am not a religious fanatic but deeply hurt by the way the law treats the majority population in india.
