A must read article on the #FreeHinduTemples issue. The whole system is set up to milk money from temples.

"So, how do the state governments manage Hindu temples today? Let us take Sri Dhandayuthapani Swamy Temple, Palani, Tamil Nadu as an example."

theprint.in/opinion/indian… "All hundi collections are deposited in the designated temple bank account. Of this, 14 per cent goes as administration fees, 4 per cent as audit fees (Section 92), 25-40 per cent as salaries and 1-2 per cent for prayers and other festival expenses."

"... in both cases, resentment against the minority in question is systematically created and reinforced among the majority. The Jews were accused of sucking all riches out of European societies."

outlookindia.com/website/story/… "In the decades before the second World War, more and more people began to believe that it was time "to take back what was rightfully theirs." In India also, movements have come into being that want to set right "the historical injustices of Brahminical oppression." "

"This may explain Hadi Matar’s temptation to kill Rushdie. But then that’s the distressing part of the story: To invent the root cause for the Islamist ire even when there is none!"
firstpost.com/opinion-news-e… "What’s even more unsettling, however, is the absolute cluelessness of the non-Islamic world, including India, to deal with the Islamist riddle. Brigitte Gabriel writes in her book, They Must Be Stopped: Why We Must Defeat Radical Islam and How We Can Do It,... "

"The most curious feature of these environmentalist protests in India is the involvement of the church. Both in the case of Sterlite Copper and now Vizhinjam port, the church played its hand quite openly. But why?"
firstpost.com/opinion-news-e… "We tend to forget that the Church is more than just a religious organisation. It is also a sovereign state with significant influence in world affairs. It issues its own passports and has embassies around the world which enjoy full diplomatic immunity. "

"The apologists for the theocratic regime [Iran] are right in saying that the protesting women are not against Islam per se but the regime that made the hijab a tool of tyranny. They are right. The hijab-burning is only as political as its imposition."

theprint.in/opinion/in-ind… "Likewise, in India, the insistence to wear the hijab in a school, which has a prescribed uniform, is political, not religious. Therefore, the resistance to it is political too, not religious — not against Islam."

#TamilsAreNotHindus is the most vile propaganda by DMK IT cell. This was always the endgame of the Dravidian movement as envisaged by Bishop Caldwell appa: To carve out an ethnonationalist Tamil identity separate from the Dhaarmik whole. DMK are merely footsoldiers for the Church All the Nazi-like xenophobia against Braahmans, all the virtue signalling for 'social justice', all the victim cards against 'Hindi imposition' are merely tools to create a separate artificial Tamil identity.

The end goal was always secessionism.

@VamseeJuluri at his best in this hard hitting write up:

How to survive a war of lies: Understanding anti-Hindu communication, media and propaganda firstpost.com/opinion-news-e… "... from the late 1980s to the present, we see the Hindu Nationalism trope starting with an ahistorical treatment of Ayodhya as some sudden revival of irrational religious belief started by a TV show, shift to a distraction and justification campaign for actual terrorism,
