It is most unfortunate the most of the famous temples in India are in private hands who want to grab the offerings and the political parties do not want to annoy brahmin community. It is high time that all the religious places in the country small or big should be managed by trusts not only to look after the welfare of the temple property but also the welfare of the pilgrims. It is high time that Parliament enact a separate legislation other than Societies Act which is worthless and hopeless. This legislation should be brought out in consultation with hindu organisations and scholars including hindu parties. No non-hindu or parties like DMK and muslim league should be associated. Friends whosoever read this article and agree with me should take up the matter with the elected representatives. thanks

All right please check up or make a survey, 99% of temples and religios places are managed by unscrupulous elements and not by trusts. Even if i agree to what you say what is harm in having a uniform trust law for hindu religious places all over the country. I do not mean trust managed by govt. appointees, the trustees can be the existing mangement people but there should be transparency in their working and use of public funds
