Original Sec 144 of draconian AP Act 30/87 and the effect it had on the traditional Archaka community in the words of a Govt appointed committee report of 2011. Remembering this when reading about the plight of the Rajasthan Archaka who lost his life trying to defend temple land

The book GOVERNMENT RULES HINDU TEMPLES records how SC which had duty to defend fundamental rights of Archaka community left them to fend for themselves by upholding a draconian Act and then recommending to Govt for its amendment while its job was only to check constitutionality

The AP Dharmika Parishad in 2011 had people like Shri MVS Prasad Retd IAS rep Sringeri peetham and many devout persons including Dr MVS as special invitee. One of great contributions Dharmika Parishad did was to record how Archaka community was decimated

Dr MVS met Justice Rama Jois who wrote preface to book GOVERNMENT RULES HINDU TEMPLES multiple times presented how draconian provisions of AP 30/87 Act decimated archaka community and caused damage to low income temples which resulted in balanced recommendation of his committee

Archaka community will forever be indebted to Shri @IYRKRao garu who as a Retd Govt servant felt for this community and recorded the truth of how the Archaka community was impacted by draconian 30/87 Act through his affidavit filed in Swami Dayananda Saraswati case pending in SC

When Society watched decimation of Archaka community silently it is Lord Chilkur Balaji Deity who in response to the supreme sacrifice of an Archaka in 2001 made His temple the ground zero for fight against draconian AP 30/87 Act and ensured its amendment

It is thus an act of Dharma that both Tiruppan Alwar community and traditional Archaka community are together working for Chilkur Balaji Art 26 #DeityRightsMovement to restore back constitutional rights of Hindu Deities who came to their rescue to protect their fundamental rights
