Tirupati's laddu contro: Return the temple to Hindus...?
This country is constitutionally secular. However, this secularism is amazing. We proudly say that india is the only country where people of all religions and cultures of the world live. Broadly speaking, this is also true. If this secularism exists, then the government should not interfere in the internal matters of any religion, but perhaps india is the only country in the world where there are all restrictions and restrictions for the majority population, and nothing like that for the rest. If this were not true, then the government would not have occupied all the temples of Hindus, the places of worship of any other religion are free from any restrictions. The control of any church, gurudwara, synagogue or mosque is not in the hands of the government and this is the root of the whole matter.
When governments make a non-Hindu the chairman of the board controlling any Hindu temple, then it is obvious that he cannot think in terms of Hindu traditions and interests. Cow is sacred for Hindus, but not for Muslims and Christians. Therefore, when a non-Hindu becomes the president of TTD, he will not even notice that vegetable oil is being fed in place of ghee and cow and pig fat in the name of vegetable oil. The government there earns crores of rupees from Tirupati, so it keeps a hold on it. Recently, it has been decided in karnataka that the government will use a part of the gold offered in temples and spend it on public welfare works. Now this public welfare is a very difficult word, because the devotee who has offered that gold, has offered it to his God, it is a part of that religion, that is why he has done it. Now if you judge it on the basis of European secularism, then there will be a problem. This is what has happened in Tirupati.
