The History - so we learn from, and dont repeat it.
In ancient, pre-abrahamic India, the village revolved around the temple. The temple was the bank, school, gym, guesthouse, gaushala, social security program, garib kalyan anna yojana, nana-nani park, centers for art, clubhouse and community center. It was managed via a well oiled system that served successfully for centuries. But most significantly, it was the pillar that kept the community together. <add 2-3 lines on Balutedar system of MH>. <Describe how No migration to cities => low crime, no beggars>.
Lord Macaulay sums it up pretty well. "I have travelled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber."
The Madras Regulation VII of 1817 changed all that. The East India Company took control of the prosperous temples of South India and shipped all their wealth to Britan (I tried, but cant get myself to call it "Great"). Anywho, that crumbled the carefully constructed and perfected, social fabric. Bringing poverty, illiteracy, hunger and great famines to the doorstep of Sujalam Suphalam Bharat. Even after the transfer of power on Aug 15th 1947, the fate of Hindu temples remains the same, while mosques and gurudwaras were ultimately unshackled.
Present day...
I watched intently, the proceedings of the Dharm Sansad at Mahakumbh, Prayagraj. Our Dharm Gurus all advocated freedom of our temples. It is a voice that Modiji cannot ignore. We know from the last 11 years that Modiji times his shots better than Virat Kohli. Every big decision he has endorsed - be it abbrogation of Article 370 or the Ram Mandir or Surgical strikes or even the controversial , demonetization <Need input - CRUD this list???> - is meticulously planned. मोदीजी पूरी फील्डिंग लगाके ही पिच पर पधारते हैं. So this could take time, how much? Your guess is as good as mine.
We Indians have a tendency to outsource all our responsibilities to Modiji. So how about we take an early run-up and prepare ourselves for the changes to come?
