The current DMK Govt. in TN who are the so-called 'rationalists' following EV Ramaswamy have no faith only in Hindu Gods. They take every opportunity to denounce the Hindus and their Gods. But what do they do in Dec-Jan? They attend every Ramzan feast & partake the gruel(kanji) after the fast. Their 'rationalism' is only for the Hindus. Even in this, they do not have uniformity. The present CM Karunanidhi celebrated his 84th birthday on 3rd June and what do the followers do? They organise special pujas in temples for his long life!!! (Pujas in temple for one who doesnt believe in Hindu Gods, organised by members of DMK who are 'rationalist' followers of EVR!!!). In the same vein, each & every temple in TN comes under the HR&CE Dept of the Govt. of TN and the collections from the Hundis in these temples are appropriated by the Govt. Can this (or any other) Govt. dare to do this with the Mosques or Churches?(which receive the maximum foreign exchange for conversion - ref. 'Angels & Demons' by Dan Brown) There is absolutely no nadir to which these politicians will go to appease the minorities. I believe that the Communist Govt in Kerala has no right to interfere in the subject. The Devaswom is one of the few Boards that still maintain strict Hindu practices and this seems to be a concerted effort to weaken the institution per se. With regards to the other comments by Xtians in this string, I would just ask them to introspect if all is right with their religion before commenting
