This document discusses the impact of government control over Hindu temples in India. It outlines six issues with the government's management of temples: 1) Looting of temple wealth and properties, with billions in uncollected rents; 2) Interference with rites, rituals and practices; 3) Damage to architectural heritage by selling off temple structures; 4) Neglect of historical inscriptions; 5) Suppression of knowledge, art and culture associated with temples; 6) Treating temples like secular government departments for profit. The document argues that temples should be managed by Hindus for Hindus through a Temple Worshippers Society.
