🔷 PERIYAR REMOVED Madras HC orders removal of anti-Hindu ‘activist’ Periyar’s statue from ancient Shiva temple land in Tamil Nadu

🔷 NON-HINDUS MUST SIGN Madras High Court Says Non-Hindus Cannot Enter Agamic Temples Without Signed Undertaking Of Faith

Madras High Court says non-Hindus cannot enter TN agamic temples without signing a declaration saying they believe in the deity.

The court didn’t define who is and isn’t a Hindu. Right now for alot of temples, only Indians are recognized as Hindus – CONVERTS are not and would be forced to sign. Critics say this is RACIST. It’s more about race than religion because Sikhs, Buddhists & Jains are allowed in & they’re not Hindu.

Forcing people of other religions to sign a declaration of faith is religious CONVERSION on the spot.

If you go by strict agamic rules – then even shudras and DALITS would not be allowed inside the temple because certain agamas bar them from entry. So the court is ignoring agamic rules when it comes to Dalits but enforcing agamic rules when it comes to foreigners.
