i find it very irritating when people fight over religion.....religion was meant to unite people and not separate them.Hinduism is one of the oldest religions and supposed to be very tolerant... its sad that today some people want to make a statement saying that they are superior and purer!!! i have seen so many people of different faiths in mosques,churches and gurudwaras, so why cant temples be open to people of other religious faiths?
Finally i feel while the whole world is fighting against poverty,terror and the like,its almost like india is struggling to live in medivial times making religion an issue! also at this point,it needs to be mentioned that some people(politicians) dont want to let go of this subject because their life,career and political success depends on their ability to gain maximum mileage out of this issue!

If you say Religion is to unite people, then I pity on you for living on your own imagination.. kindly read the history , and you will come to know, for what religion has done to the humanity. (here hinduism is not a religion, but a culture)

Who told you that temples are not open to non-hindus. There are few temples which are not open, (only few temples) one such is Guruvayoor temple. There are specific reasons for the same. Non Muslims are not allowed anywhere near Mecca, are you aware of it.
