Ayodhya arguments: Tax payer money is wasted. Why this garish celebration? Why not use this money for COVID?
The temple is built by the Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust with donations. The govt has donated a net tax payer money of Rs.1. Yes, Rs.1!
From another angle, the 'secular' government controls only Hindu temples & not the religious institutions of any other religion. The loot of the temple resources is beyond imagination.
For COVID, it is only the Hindu temples (under govt control) that have given Rs.10s of crores of donations.
When there was a famine in the 12th century CE, the priests in Madurai melted the golden chariot & sold the gold to sustain the people during the famine. Temples have a history of helping out without expectations (Nishkamya Karma).
Regarding the comments against public Hindu celebration. During intolerant rules by foreign ideologies, Hindus were prevented from having any public display of celebrations & their festivals were banned (eg: Aurangzeb had banned Deepavali & Holi, in 1667 the Goan viceroy had banned Hinduism & Hindu marriages). Until recently, Pakistan didn't even recognize Hindu marriages.
The 1939 Birla temple was the first temple to be built in Delhi in centuries. So complete was the ban on any public display of Hindu worship.
When Shivaji built his first temple, so complete was the destruction that the temple looked like a mosque (see image). The traditions of temple building & worship had gone extinct.
In a bad marriage, sometimes the stronger spouse would use tactics of bullying & intimidation to force the weaker spouse into silence. Similar psychological tactics of shaming, bullying & intimidating are used to intimidate Hindus into silence & stop their public forms of worship. This has been so effective that Hindus themselves have internalized this & use these tactics against other Hindus.
