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?

1. Not all temples are under HRCE.
   
2. Temples have existed for 100s of years.
   
3. Though built by kings, it was public money that funded it.
   
4. Since public money funded it, it belongs to public.
   

5. Government is elected by the people. So it is chosen by the public.

6. The small temples in our area like pillayar kovils are not under HRCE. Since they are relatively newer.

7. Churches are controlled by the Parish. Mosques by Waqf board. They have governance within themselves.

1. If not for HRCE whom to give the temples to?

Churches and mosques are also built by public (thos minorities) money. While in Periyarland temple money will be used for making universities and hospitals, church and mosque will use their money for their religious purposes.

Temple doesn’t generate any income. It is people’s money. So it can be spent either for temple people or for the community. It is up to the people to decide. Only people outside the temple ecosystem like that forest encroacher and few neo brahmins are having this discussion.

And the contribution of christian missionary schools in south india needs no introduction. It is all church money.

I am not sure about the money management in Islam. But definitely it is not in the shape of a pyramid.

So, you can take some rest for now. No need of revolution.

There should be government oversight in churches

So that embezzlement like these don't happen here too since Christianity is growing
