How Hindus can stop politicians taking over temples!
I think this is an important issue. And the author has come up with 2 ways to stop this practice. Other things can also be done. For example..
(1) We muct first try to bring in a legislation that makes it compulsory for all govt run institutions to compulsorily label in all prominent places that all proceeds to this religious institution are administered by so-and-so government. This bill by itself needs to be promoted by hindu parties and will result in bringing the issues to everyone's attention.
(2) The second step would be for the bill to make it compulsory for other charitable institutions to setup their booths inside government run temples. So for example ekal-vidyalaya should be able to setup a donation box inside the temple premises. The charitable institution has to provide information and has to be approved by the board trustees.
(3) The third step would be for the hindu-organisations to setup hindu-schools and universities for education, research and development of indic studies. The funding will have to be provided by both public and private sector as well as individuals.
Thoughts ?
