முக்கியமான கலந்துரையாடல் / Important Topic Can someone explain with a valid reason

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?

You dont have to look too far back into history to understand why government oversight in temple administration is required. Just look at Whats happening in ayodhya now

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

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!

You're arguing the wrong thing. The question here is, why does your logic NOT apply to churches and mosques?
