Abstract: East India company not just stole our wealth but suffocated our spirit towards the Hindu temple by taking over temples, mainly of South India. Temples are the powerful centres that enable, empower and enlighten us, and should be available irrespective of caste, creed, and class. Temples in India were created on the basis of consciousness, and the community should have absolute freedom in managing and developing the temples. If we treat the temples the same as the British government, the temple function changes to a money-making machine from a culture steeped in devotion, literature, art, music, and dance. The Hindu temples also aid in establishing educational and charitable institutions. It is unfathomable that civilisation produced and worshipped such Mystic and Poet Saint, which is today in the hands of ransom administrators who have no appreciation for the richness of the culture. If churches and mosques are not under government control, then why only Hindu temples?
