This is multi-headed, devious attack of the very fundamentals of Sanatana Dharma.
I will give you a few examples and you can do research and come to your own conclusions
a) The Kerala Govt. recently dismissed the existing temple boards and appointed new Board Members chosen by the Ministers and MLAs, allegedly filling these positions with communists thereby assigning Hindu religious institutions to irreligious political operatives. Henceforth the temple staff is to be recruited by the communist led Kerala Govt%u2019s Public service commission.
b) In Karnataka the Govt.grabs temple revenues for Muslims and Christians: In the year 2002-2003 out of a revenue of 72 crores, only about 7 crores was given back to temples, while about 59 crores and 12.75 crores respectively were handed over to Muslim and Christian institution. As if that was not enough a recent news report revealed that Karnataka Govt. allowed the distribution of the story of Jesus Christ in 75,000 schools.
c) In Andhra Pradesh the authorities routinely sell temple lands, take away temple revenues, starve pujaris and bring relgious/cultural functions in thousands of temples virtually to a stop. The holy shrine of TTD is run as a govt. department. It is desecrated by Govt. interference and its revenues are being siphoned away for non Hindu purposes.
. and so on, in many other states note: for more information on Govt.control of temples www.bharatjagran.co

What is media and who owns media in Bhaarat
By Niranjan Shah
I have come across some interesting information about the ownership of media
in Bhaarat. What is media? Media is plural of medium. Mass media is the term
used to denote, as a class, that section of the media specifically conceived
and designed to reach a very large audience (typically at least as large as
the whole population of a nation state). The word media was coined in the
1920s with the advent of nationwide radio networks and of mass-circulation
newspapers and magazines. This includes messages that are distributed
through the technologies, principally text in books, study guides and
computer networks; sound in audio-tapes and broadcast: pictures in
video-tapes and broadcast; text, sound and/or pictures in a teleconference.
The means by which information is distributed such as print, broadcast,
CD-ROM, World Wide Web, and so forth is also Media.
Mass media in Bhaarat is that part of the Indian media which aims to reach a
wide audience. Besides the news media, which includes print, radio and
television, the Internet is playing an increasing role, along with the
SO, now you know why only news favourable to certain "minorities" are reported, while the greatest theft of the millenium, the looting of the Hindu temples is not well known.
Think about it and do something.
This board can be a spring board for action or these crooks will coninue to steal fro the "majority"

DON'T get baited by these pathetic people who use the usual story line like you see below. They have the same set of insults to Sanatana Dharma if you look through them.(it seems like they are all reading off the same page)
Take your efforts to the real world and be PROACTIVE, not reactive.
Treat you fellow Hindus with respect, so that they don't get trapped by these so called messengers of God.
Do not compromnise by sending your children to some convent school for brain washing. The schools may have been started with noble intent but at this time, many are used to denigrate other faiths.
Somebody earlier in the board asked me if the Hindus can ever become "missionaries" for their faith and I could not answer him in the affirmative.
PROVE ME WRONG and I will be the happiest person.
All of us have to take back what is ours.
Being kind and tolerant DOES NOT MEAN accepting abuse, violence or infirngement of our rights

IT IS NOT THAT HINDUS NOT AWARE, BUT THEY LEAVE EVERYTHING TO GOD OTHEWISE WE HINDUS TOO HAVE TO BECOME EXTREMISTS OR TERRORIST FOR WHICH WE OPPOSE. WE LEAVE EVERYTHING GOOD OR BAD TO GOD ALONE AND HE WILL GIVE A SOLUTION TO IT. WE BELIEVE IN "KARMA SIDHDHANTHA" WHICH TELLS US THAT GOOD OR BAD THAT IS HAPPENING NOW IS THE RESULT OF YOUR PREVIOUS KARMA'S WHICH YOU CANNOT CHANGE. JUST IMAGINE WE WERE 85 CRORES IN NUMBERS, WE ALL HAVE THE SAME FEELING TO RAM SETHU, BUT WE WERE NOT EXPRESSING VIOLENTLY LIKE WHAT HAPPENED TO A CARTOONIST FOR DRAWING A CARTOON AGAINEST PROPHET OR A FILM "DA VINCI CODE". EVERYTIME ONE AGAINST HINDU, ONE CAME BY GODS GRACE IN FAVOUR. FOR EXAMPLE BABAR AGAINST US , BUT IMMEDIATELY CAME AKBAR WHO RESPECTED HINDU CULTURE FAITH AND LOVED AND LIVED WITH HINDUS. THEN AURANGAJEB FOLLOWED BY SHIVAJI. WHEN THERE IS BAD GOOD FOLLOWS, NOW BAD IS CONGRESS AND GOOD IS BJP TO FOLLOW. BAD IS KARUNANIDHI, GOOD IS JAYALALITHA TO FOLLOW. RAM SETHU DESTRUCTION IS BAD, ALTERNATIVE THROUGH DHANUSHKOTI IS GOOD TO HAPPENED WHERE ALL WERE HAPPY. "IT IS NO MERE OPTIMISTICISM" BUT FACT.

I agree with you, but at the same time would this attitude help us preserve our identity?
There is a limit for tolerance, it has reached the breaking point... Time now that we unite and act...
"Leaving everything to God" should be after we have tried our best; it is this same cliche that the pseudo secular goons capitalize on...

Yes, but there is another side. which is this. Hinduism is only religion which is older than all other you mentioned or practiced today in World.
Looking at past History , all other will not be there in next thousand years, why, beause they have lost the real meaning of Religion, Civility, reverence for Life, Sense of Right from wrong.
And Best of all they do not have Scripture to teach them what is good and what is not, Like
Ramayana,Maha Bharata, Geeta, Nor Vedas UPNISHADS,PURANAS for Guide.
Nor Their Religion SEEPED INTO SOCIAL DAY TO DAY LIFE with All social Festivals, like DIVALI, HOLI , RAKSHA BANDHAN to name few.
So with all their Might, Money, Theories, Propaganda. Hinduism is flourishing in Their West and Our East.
I am now in USA and one time I was in INDONESIA
I know. So Relax. AS IT WAS , IT IS AT PRESENT and WILL REMAIN ALWAYS STRONG AND SAME TIME FLEXIBLE WILL REMAIN ROOTED IN MOTHER INDIA.
