Law will be challenged as unconstitutional
by Anand Iyer on Jun 07, 2007 11:05 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

It is one thing to make a law saying all hindus should be allowed into a temple.But quite another to pass a law allowing non-hindus entry into a temple. If that be the case, then law should allow all people to enter places of worship of all faiths. Otherwise, law will be challenged as unconstitutional on grounds of violation of "equality" Art 14 of Constitition.

Exactly. Even before that, it will be thrown out, because a secular state cannot dictate what a religious act would be.

There are firewalls in between.

This is THE REASON WHY RAVI, CPIM ARE NOT APPROACHING THE COURT. BECAUSE THEY KNOW THEY WILL BE DEFEATED. THEY WANT TO DO PUBLIC POSTURE FOR VOTEBANK.

Why many firewalls? One firewall is enough to control entire network in-flow.

Mr. Anand, you are talking about equality of all humankind then you mean to say that any man from any religion can do the job of priest namboodaripad. And you will allow any humankind to have meals from your plate in which you eat? does your Bhagvad gita preaches this?

Shahrukh-There r temples in Gujarat where muslims actually do puja to the hindu deities. In Tamil Nadu, in ramanujacharya's shrine-we see the same thing. Muslims touch the feet of their teachers and ekdersSUB-CONTINENTAL REALITIES R BEYOND THE COMPREHENSION OF NARROW-MINDED PEOPLE!!!!

Your answer is not related to my question in anyways. Does Gita preaches any other religion man can perform namboodaripad's duties? Does Gita preaches to allow a man from anyother religion who is non-veg. to share food from your plate?

Shahrukh, Do you know or have heard about saibaba. If you know, there is nothing more to explain, if you dont know ask someone in your family to enlighten you about saibaba
