Please sign petition for desperate Status of Hindu Temples in AndhraPradesh, IndiaThe Hindu religion and its supporting infrastructure (temple lands,mutts, foundations and Ashrams) that preserve and promote our treasurereligion are being unfairly targeted by the current politicalenvironment in India. The result is Hindu temple lands and propertiesare being sold and a substantial amount of resources are being usedfor purposes other than Hindu temple activities, including the fundingof non-Hindu (Muslim and Christian) projects and activities.Encroachment of the temple lands, mutts, foundations and Ashrams isencouraged by the current political environment and are being takenover. Non Hindus have been given major positions at Tirupathi andother temples. All of these activities are wide spread and willultimately drive Hinduism out of India if not worse. It looks asthough the Christian Chief Minister Y. Samuel Rajasekhar Reddy ofAndhra Pradesh has little regard to Hindu institutions.

The Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act which originally hadits merit is one main issue causing this situation. Through thisEndowment Act only Hindu Temples are taken over by the governmentwhich allowed complete control over the temples. All appointments,property, finances, renovations, pujas etc. are monitored andcontrolled. Mosques and churches are free from government control andare not included in the Endowment Act.
