Dara Hua Kaum attacking an entire colony because a Muslim girl married a Dalit guy with complete consent.

 

Liberals and Muslims are completely silent about this savagery. If Hindus did such an attack, this'd be the top trend on twitter. You won't find too many Muslims on Twitter who'll condemn this.

 

Muslims accept interfaith relationships as long as the man is Muslim, if the woman is a Muslim, they won't accept it as the Quran prohibits it.

 

Hindu liberals who give sermons to RW Hindus about tolerance, love etc won't have the balls to lecture Muslims about the same.

 

Hey dhindus hey how about you learn how to protect yourself.

They come to our temples and disrespect like this, ban such visitors. Try doing that in the Vatican.. Dumb idiots. This is Ellora, the whole temple complex is carved out of one big stone in the 6th century. Historians can’t figure out how many years it took them to carve using basic tools it could be a few generations of artisans

Matter of time really, then the bongs and southies can play ludo

Don't compare Andhra, Telangana and Karnataka to Bengal ok? Kerala is *ed thanks to Commies and Tamil Nadu is debatable.

 

The 3 southern states deal with M's much better than UP, Rajasthan, Maharashtra or any other Northern state.

 

Telugu film industry is based in Hyderabad (Owaisi) which is 50% Muslim, you won't find a single Muslim hero in the top 20. You northies on the other hand made 3 Khans the 3 biggest stars in bollywood.

How is this possible in modern India ? How can govt control temples in secular country ? Mind you. Only temples. Not mosques, gurudwara, madrasas.
 
 
Not only that, they use the money from temples to build other shekular institutions .

They need to put an unobtrusive wire-barricade around these carvings to keep people from randomly touching them.  If the administrators themselves don't care enough, why will public?

They expect people who spend a lot to visit the place at least are decent enough. That IG user thinks she is owning godesses the punk way and uniting all women. In Hampi, there are stone rings on pillars, earlier they used to rotate. Also, they used to resonate to saptaswaras when lightly hit. People have gone over the years, kept manhandling and they don't work anymore. ASI is the culprit, they hardly spend on protecting these heritage sites, but repairing Aurangzeb's tomb in Delhi every year.

That IG user appears to be a teenager.  An immature one.  Is she really representative of the vast majority of people who go there?  In any case, is it annoying you more that she is contributing to the idol's decay, or that she has a warped view of feminism and is disrespecting Goddesses?  Would you be just as outraged if someone held one of the animal carvings and took a selfie?  Or every visitor touched the intricately carved feet in respectful prostration?  If you are interested in preserving the carvings, that should be offensive too.  

 

Another threat is kids running around touching everything.  Some parents go "Don't do it."  Others are more laissez-faire.  But kids will be kids.  You can't always keep them in check.  It is best for the authorities to impose rules and enforce them rather than expect public to do it.  

 

As for the Hampi Saptaswara rings (man, this is on my bucket list), it should've been strictly controlled from the time it became a tourist attraction.  It's a really simple concept:  Barricade the rings.  At 10 am, 1pm and 4 pm, a temple employee will do a demonstration-lecture for 15 minutes.  Make it a special event.  Maybe even charge INR 50 per person.  Take it or leave it.  No one can touch it at any other time.   Things have definitely got better in this regard over the decades, but there is still a long way to go.   

 

Here in NC, they have made a museum at the Wright brothers memorial.  They have a replica airplane made painstakingly exact to the original.  But it is not the original.  But even that is protected with so much care.  A simple rope barricade.  A polite but firm young person requesting people to stay behind the rope.  Every so often, one of the park employees steps into the barricade and does a quick lecture/demo.  And the cabin in which Wilbur and Orville lived is locked.  It's like a non-descript wooden structure that looks like nothing.  It is locked.  You can't get within 10 feet of it.  One of the windows is glass and you can - from 10 feet away - peek through the sliding window and see their bed and kitchen utensils.  You got to respect the heck out of the pride they have in their accomplishments - big and small.

@BacktoCricaddict Just to clarify, all such incidents of bringing harm and disrespecting the idols are offensive, hence I included all such miscreants. Although, the latter hurts more naturally for a believer like me. I have only watched the videos of Kailasha temple of Ellora. It is in my bucket list to visit it the next time I visit India (this summer fingers_crossed)

Isn't it a pity that - having grown up in India - we just never felt it compelling to visit these places?  This may not have been true of all 70s families, but due to family obligations and/or economic constraints, there was a lack of a "vacation" mindset for most of us.  Unless you were going for a family function or pilgrimage, travel was not a thing.
