I would like to add another piece of information related to it. <br /><br />All Buddhist temples in North India had been destroyed by the Delhi Sultanate and Moghul rulers with the exception of Bodh Gaya. The reason for the latter was the Shaivite Hindu Mahant who used his resources as a rich land owners to bribe Muslim generals in order to protect the temple. If not for Hindu intervention, Bodh Gaya too would have been destroyed, much as the famed Bamiyan statues had been destroyed by the Taliban in recent years. The neo-Buddhists do not know their own history because they are not real Buddhists.

One needs to be a (legal or illegal) migrant to India like the Japanese monk in order to have access to the Supreme Court. This said, it would be good if Hindu nationalists with a legal bent of mind submit a counter PIL at the Supreme Court. The case is simple i.e. a uniform policy framework for the management of religious institutions in India. If Sikhs, Christians and Buddhists are entitled to exclusively manage their sacred area, then Hindus should likewise have total control over Kashi, Mathura and Hindu Devasthanams/Devaswoms in Tamil Nadu/Kerala. Remember how Karunanidhi used Hindu Temples to enforce his senseless diktat on the Tamil New Year. He even prevented the reading of the Panchangam on the Tamil New Year. It is this political interference that has to stop.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-72760909529394121232012-10-18T10:58:04.322+05:302012-10-18T10:58:04.322+05:30By the way why Romesh can file a PIL stating these...By the way why Romesh can file a PIL stating these reasons instead of blogging???????Madhannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442555339667770589.post-45974741792284480242012-10-17T14:52:32.290+05:302012-10-17T14:52:32.290+05:30When it comes to Hinduism in India, they say we ar...When it comes to Hinduism in India, they say we are non secular. The above said things cannot be enforced for Kashi Mathura etc because that would mean that the system has acted for non secular forces. Nepal is the only Hindu country in this world.
