- Seventy-Eight percent of the temples under the control of the HR & CE Department are in shambles. According to activists, its time the government hands over the control of the temples to an independent, politically neutral body. – T.Muruganandam reports.
- Kings built most of the temples, but they never intervened in the traditional worship there. Even the Britishers never interfered in the administration of temples, he points out, strongly arguing for handing over temple administration to a non-political independent body.
-
In figures 38,465 temples in the State are controlled by the HR&CE dept that comes under the State government.
Under the pre text of land reforms, the State government drastically reduced the income of the temples over a period of time -- NARAYANASWAMI
30,000 temples are getting less than Rs 5,000 as annual income. Of these many are in dilapidated state and need funds for renovation, according to the HR & CE dept's policy note.
- “Most of the funds for temple kumbhabhishekham are raised by devotees and not the govt. So, why shouldn't they be allowed to run the temples themselves?”
- Besides, cases of temple break-ins resulting in idol theft or breaking of hundis (fund collection boxes) and killing of temple watchmen have gone up manifold over the years, exposing the government's total ineptitude, they say.

QUIZ: Who is This Politician? HINT: Not who you think! | Faith Freedom International
-
-
He was born to a part of the population that was often despised and mocked by the majority.
He was “abandoned” by his parents early on in his life.
He spent his formative years abroad, outside his country.
He never accomplished anything of note before he became the leader of his party (in his late thirties) and the ruler of his country (in his mid-forties).
-
He was a master of using “new media” and advanced technology in his electoral campaigns. He revolutionized the face of politics. Among his main keywords were: “change” and “hope”. He attracted massive crowds to his rallies.
His party won democratic and fair elections and he assumed the supreme executive office of his country in January the following year.
His rule was favorably compared with the much hated administration that preceded him which was identified with an unprecedented economic recession and meltdown and with a humiliating resolution to an an unsuccessful and unnecessary protracted war abroad.
When he rose to power, he was loved and admired in his country and throughout the world. The federation of states he governed gradually re-captured the role of a superpower.
At first, he was championed as a peacemaker by foreign politicians and the global media.
-
He befriended the Muslim world and ascendant polities in Asia. Still, his experience in foreign affairs and his knowledge of foreign languages were very limited.
In the first two years of his administration, he pushed through a massive economic stimulus package; reformed the country’s social services (especially healthcare and education); introduced enhanced and all-pervasive regulation and state oversight of industry and finance; and invested heavily in infrastructure. He took credit for the economic recovery that ensued (and which was, actually, part of a global trend).
-
Many accused him of being born abroad, of not being native-born (i.e., of being a foreigner).
- So, who is this politician?

महाजाल पर सुरेश चिपलूनकर (Suresh Chiplunkar): फ़ाइव स्टार होटल की नौकरी छोड़कर, मदुरै की सड़कों पर मनोरोगियों, पागलों और विक्षिप्तों को भोजन कराता एक महात्मा… A Social Worker Madurai

महाजाल पर सुरेश चिपलूनकर (Suresh Chiplunkar)
- यही सारे प्रश्न मदुराई के एक युवक एन कृष्णन के दिमाग में उठते थे, लेकिन उसने वह कर दिखाया जो कई लोग या तो सोच ही नहीं पाते, अथवा सिर्फ़ सोचकर रह जाते हैं। मदुराई का यह कर्मठ महात्मा, पिछले सात साल से रोज़ाना दिन में तीन बार शहर में घूम-घूमकर ऐसे रोगियों, विक्षिप्तों और बेसहारा लोगों को खाना खिलाता है। मात्र 30 वर्ष की उम्र में "अक्षयपात्र" नामक ट्रस्ट के जरिये वे यह सेवाकार्य चलाते हैं।
- अक्षयपात्र ट्रस्ट की रसोई में झांककर जब हम देखते हैं, तो पाते हैं कि चमचमाते हुए करीने से रखे बर्तन, शुद्ध दाल, चावल, सब्जियाँ और मसाले… ऐसा लगता है कि हम किसी 5 सितारा होटल के किचन में हैं, और हो भी क्यों ना, आखिर एन कृष्णन बंगलोर के एक 5 सितारा होटल के "शेफ़" रह चुके हैं (इतने बड़े होटल के शेफ़ की तनख्वाह जानकर क्या करेंगे)। कृष्णन बताते हैं कि आज सुबह उन्होंने दही चावल तथा घर के बने अचार का मेनू तय किया है, जबकि शाम को वे इडली-सांभर बनाने वाले हैं… हम लोग भी तो एक जैसा भोजन नहीं खा सकते, उकता जाते हैं, ऐसे में क्या उन लोगों को भी अलग-अलग और ताज़ा खाना मिलने का हक नहीं है?"। कृष्णन की मदद के लिये दो रसोईये हैं, तीनों मिलकर नाश्ता तथा दोपहर और रात का खाना बनाते हैं, और अपनी गाड़ी लेकर भोजन बाँटते हैं, न सिर्फ़ बाँटते हैं बल्कि कई मनोरोगियों और विकलांगों को अपने हाथ से खिलाते भी हैं।
कृष्णन अभी तक अविवाहित हैं, और उनकी यह शर्त है कि जिसे भी मुझसे शादी करना हो, उसे मेरा यह जीवन स्वीकार करना होगा, चाहे किसी भी तरह की समस्याएं आयें। -
HINDU SAMHATI: Powerful Hindu Protest Against Islamist Persection in Taki-Hasnabad
-
- At the time of Kalipuja (Hindu festival also known as Deepavali - October 17, 2009), there was a cultural function by a Club Puja Committee in the Taki town in Basirhat subdivision of North 24 Parganas dist of West Bengal, India. Several Muslim youths from nearby Sankhchura village came to the function and misbehaved. Hindu sentiments were hurt by the outsiders' actions and words, a small scuffle occurred and the intruding miscreants were driven away from the venue.
- In retaliation for this defensive action, on October 25th 2009, about 30-35 Muslim youths from Sankhchura village came to Taki town and beat up 2-3 Hindu boys and fled.
- The village of Sankhchura is a notorious Islamist controlled village. It is a permanent headache for the administration and local Hindus. Moreover, a number of Jihadis (Silamist reactionary terrorists) and ISI (Pakistani spy agency) agents were caught by police from this village.

- India was the motherland of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe’s languages. India was the mother of our philosophy, of much of our mathematics, of the ideals embodied in Christianity… of self-government and democracy. In many ways, Mother India is the mother of us all.
Will Durant, American Historian (1885-1981)
