Took part in a Twitter spaces discussion on State Control of Temples a short while ago.Every time someone from d Left participates in a discussion on this topic,I am absolutely amazed at their factual ignorance & their desperate attempts to couch it in vague inanities. Terrible.
All they resort to are the same old done to death tropes about caste and demonising community stakeholdership without an iota of knowledge of the legal framework as it stands or the Constitutional position or the visible degradation of the Temple ecosystem under State control.
When confronted with facts, "Arre what's the point of discussing minutiae!", chalo let's discuss the legal framework "Arre too technical!", OK how about the Constitution "arre this issue goes beyond the Constitution!". Lol. Had it not been a serious issue this was funny as hell.
And the final copout- "arre but I wasn't invited to discuss specifics, I was invited to discuss high-level policy suggestions". (read out of syllabus). Lol yahan neev ka thikana hai, imarat banane chalen hain.
Na legal framework pata hai,na knowledge hai institutions ka,to bhai kis haisiyat se policy pe gyaan de rahe ho?Oh right,these r d "normative reform" gyaanis.Their approach is "since V don't know d first thing about d institution,let's just go with "hit reset"". Bahut krantikari.
Frankly,it doesn't take much to expose d shallowness and hypocrisy of d Left ecosystem in Bharat.Again,there are honourable exceptions.But as a whole it is overrated. Its primary strengths r organisation,a clannish approach to its "fellow travellers",& decades of State support.
