This is a great article that nails the much propagated lie that Hinduism is tolerant and all accepting .If indeed they were all accepting how could they feel the need to 'cleanse' the place of people who worship God under a different name .Granted Christians and Muslims are not known for religious tolerance ,but even they do not prevent anyone from visiting their places of worship anywhere in the world .Hypocrisy is the true religion in India

yes sir, hinduism is tolerant that is exactly why u have made such a sarcastic comment without 'really' offending people.
it is all about sanctity of a place. for example a christian may find it strange why shoes should be removed in a place of worship?
i think this whole controversy is unwarranted and as usual stinks of anti-hinduism. if she visited, being a christian, advertently or inadvertently...what is the media trying to prove? that the place has been defiled. she came there, prayed...whether a christian or a buddhist, she prayed. that should be enough. as for regulations of a place of worship, i think it is an internal matter of the religion & there no need to prove anything...

Attacking hinduism again !. Well, hindu became a religion in the past few centuries once the Muslims and Christians started invading India. Before that it was just a way of life.
I agree that temples must be opened for other religions also. But how many of others will come with the true spirit.Who knows how many will come with bombs ? Remember its just bacause hindus are tolerant, Other religions became so strong now. Good and evil exists everywhere. You are attacking the evil in Hinduism to grab out your greed. C'mon let's talk about the worthy -be it Hindu,christian or Muslim... Religion sucks
