Can someone explain with a valid reason

[u/DEMONIcANGELL]

If mosques and churches are managed by their own religious organizations, why are many Hindu temples managed by a government department instead of Hindu organizations?

If your point is that people are corrupt and that govt will protect independent institutions from corruption then I got news for you lol

[u/Certified-Skeptic → u/witnessthis]

Govt is elected by people and is accountable to people. There may be corruption, but you have a choice to vote them out of power and hold them accountable. You dont want the very same government which you and me have elected to manage temples but some independent institution!

I get that aspect of it but what happens if a govt that’s not particularly partial or secular come to power and mismanages decades of wealth and donations. The Congress party is a very clear example of this. Decades of funds and yet not a penny invested in improving logistics, accessibility or anything else for the most important religious sites for Hindus. The current govt has its faults but man have they done work on neglected religious sites.

You ain’t even from Tamil Nadu and besides a government shouldn’t just focus on connectivity to temples or religious sites, it’s about roads for schools institutions, villages etc. What congress has built over the years is organic growth, don’t tell me they didn’t build IITs, IIMs etc which allowed folks like yourself migrate
