Continuing the stance of the British regime , @INCIndia after Independence concocted the fatally flawed, and the blatantly anti-secular, Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Act in 1951 to “provincialise the administration of Hindu Religious Institutions
#Secular_hypocricy

Under its aegis, variously amended and often challenged by Hindu groups over the years, the state governments have taken over thousands of temples, generally under the pretext of preventing “mismanagement” by Hindus.

Thousands such as Jagannath in Puri, Tirupati, Kashi Vishwanath, Vaishno Devi, Shirdi, Guruvayoor, Chamundi Devi, Dattapeeth, Kali Mandir of Patiala, Amarnath, Badrinath, and Kedarnath, are already under government control.

Various political and government appointees have siphoned off crores of rupees out of the temple’s coffers. Some of this money is given out as ‘donations’of Rs. 50 lakhs or more — to other non-profit institutions, selected on the basis of political connections
#Secular_hypocricy
#Secular_hypocricy
. These organizations may not serve Hinduism or Hindu devotees at all. Such donations continued even after the Bombay High Court issued a prohibitory order stopping them. During 2004-2005 alone, seven crore rupees were paid out to such beneficiaries out of the temple’s inflow.
The government appointed trustees of this temple also spent over Rs. 24 lakhs of the temple’s money in two days on a lavish marketing event held at a seven star hotel to discuss how to promote temples as tourist attractions!

In other words, the hard-earned money that devotees offer out of love and a sense of duty to a Hindu religious institution being used not for the benefit of the Hindu community, or to promote Hindu religious activities, but for other purposes.

The state government, the inheritor of the responsibility under the HRCE Act to prevent such actions, did nothing to prevent these incursions, even though it has a staff of over 77,000 people (paid from a 15% charge on temple revenues) to look after temple interests.
In August 2005, the state decided to sell 100,000 acres of the Sri Narasimha Swamy Temple in Simhachalam and other nearby temples.
