Thank U @ARanganathan72.Very kind of U.TBH,I am a late entrant to d #FreeHinduTemples cause.The late Swami Dayananda Saraswathi ji of Arsha Vidya Gurukulam started d movement & d legal initiative in 2012,which is led by brilliant senior counsels of d SC who roped me in,in 2016.
@ARanganathan72 and I am happy that the efforts of organizations such as Hindu Dharma Acharya Sabha along with tireless campaigners like Shri @trramesh and Shri Krish Nagarajan have found mainstream traction thanks to Spiritual leaders like Sadhguru.
Also, the 2014 judgement of the Supreme Court in Dr. Subramanian @Swamy39 vs State Of Tamil Nadu & Ors which freed the Chidambaram Nataraja Temple from the clutches of the State has laid the foundation for future judgements on the subject to a significant extent.
I think the impetus to the cause of #FreeHinduTemples because of the vocal support of Shri @SadhguruJV is absolutely phenomenal and one hopes the issue is resolved throughout Bharat so that an Indic Civilizational Renaissance becomes a reality in our life and time.

When a society surrenders its most fundamental right to defend itself entirely to the State,hands over all its institutions to the State,and puts all its eggs in the political basket,it is bound to be orphaned and deprived of all its defenses. Case in point - The Hindu society.
The next time some colonialised idiot tells you why d State should run Hindu Temples or underestimates d need for decentralised Temple management bcoz "muh normative structures for Hindu unity bro",tell him he doesn't have the first clue of Bharat’s Temple management history.
Let these "normative" idiots take their BS to non-Brahminical Temple management structures in any part of Bharat & let's see if they come back with their faces intact.They understand jack about Temple management history but d arrogance with which they hold forth on it is amazing.
Since some have asked me to explain the rationale behind invocation of Article 356 in the context of #bengalviolence, pls watch this video where I explain d position. Obviously d Supreme Court cannot impose emergency under Article 356 since that is d prerogative of d President.
Which is why what has been sought is a declaration that the constitutional machinery has broken down in the State of West Bengal within the meaning of Article 356, so that the President can take cognizance of it. Just clarifying. Not getting into a debate here on the subject.
Sir, they have never and they will never. But can the party with a difference stop pandering to them and look after its own cadre first? From abandoning its core constituents now to its own cadre. Fantastic 🙏🏾
The cadre did not support the BJP in the hope that d Left (not "liberals!") wud protect them from d wrath of d imported goons of d TMC. They hoped,as they should have,that their own party would anticipate this carnage & be prepared to protect them. But they have been left to die.
Central forces shuda been sent not just to preserve the integrity of the electoral process but also to prevent political violence post the results. That's the sign of a party that cares for its cadre as opposed to treating them as fodder to be thrown into the meat grinder.
Says the guy who consumes colonialised versions of Indian history lock, stock and barrel. Lol. Stay in your shoes and continue living the life of an embarrassing troll. An original informed discussion is well above your pay grade.
Position 1- firecrackers have nothing to do with Deepawali. Deepawali is all about Diyas.
Response - Nope. It is a ritual not a mere festivity.
Position 2- Firecrackers cause pollution. They must be banned.
Response - OK. Ban everything that causes all forms of pollution.
Position 3- firecrackers cause most pollution.
Response - show me d proof. IIT Delhi's Report on d causes of pollution in NCR goes against you. Firecrackers aren't even in d top 5. Stubble burning and year round construction activity are among the top causes.
1. Absolutely scintillating judgement delivered by d Madurai Bench of the Madras HC on 22/9/2020 in a petition filed by Shri @trramesh, President of d @indiccollective, challenging a tender notification issued by d Executive Officer of d Palani Temple. Sharing a few screenshots.
2. Read
3. The Court has recognised that the EO overstayed his welcome without justification.
1. If Hindutva is Hinduism that resists, well, it includes resisting the caricaturing of our Deities by Abrahamics, atheists or otherwise, & non-Abrahamics, atheists or otherwise. Given d history of oppression of Dharmic faith systems by Abrahamics, there is no room for symmetry.
2. Celebrate free speech and expression, sure, but do realise that their application isn't uniform and cannot be uniform because they are bound to land differently for the oppressor and the oppressed. After all, that's the underlying premise behind the SC/ST atrocities Act.
3. Abrahamic Athiests see Hinduism in d same light as their faiths. That's where d fundamental problem is. As long as this false equivalence is accepted, Abrahamic Athiests pose more of a threat to Hindus than their own faith systems for multiple reasons, which I will set out.
