🚨 Big win for Temple Worshippers of Tamil Nadu!
Hon'ble Division Bench of Madras High Court (G.R.Swaminathan & V.Lakshminarayanan, JJ.) delivered a landmark order in my PIL https://t.co/RCFLYJGyA8. 20764/2026 concerning Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Temple, Triplicane —
but this ruling lays down principles for ALL Hindu temples in TN under @tnhrcedept. 🧵
1️⃣ NO MORE @tnhrcedept Executive Officer DOUBLING AS "FIT PERSON" IN TEMPLES AS A ROUTINE POSTING!
The Court held an Executive Officer can act as "Fit Person" only in exceptional circumstances, for a very brief interim duration. Temple administration must vest in the Board of Trustees — not remain permanently with a government official wearing two hats. Such dual-role arrangements "ought to be terminated at the earliest."
2️⃣ EOs HAVE NO SAY IN RELIGIOUS MATTERS —
This is a superb victory for Hindus !
Under the proviso to Sec.45(2), HR&CE Act, the word "only" is significant: an EO's power is confined STRICTLY to temple properties (movable & immovable, incl. income).
"An area even slightly tinged with religious elements is a no-go zone for the Executive Officer" — pujas, Kumbhabishekam dates/timings, customs & traditions cannot be touched by EOs.
3. The Govt's Learned Addl. Advocate General fairly conceded that trustees will be appointed for Sri Parthasarathy Swamy Temple within 6 months.
Government has also called for applications from Hindus to be appointed as Trustees. A positive move by Hon'ble Minister @RameshOffcl
Finally, the Fraudulent set up of @tnhrcedept 's illegally appointed Executive Officer - also serving as the Sole Trustee (Fit Person) of the temple for more than 40 years comes to an END.
A real step towards temples run by Trustees, not bureaucrats — and the State kept out of religious affairs. 🙏
My gratitude to my counsel Advocate Niranjan Rajagopalan @niranjanlaw !

@rishikeshlaw Does any of his clients know that he can't judge a basic video evidence for who is at fault? Does he have any clients? Maybe the ones who are pelting stones at the police
I feel terribly sorry for failure of Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. It was the best thing that happened & I myself witnessed the effectiveness even in far off villages among children, men and women. Everyone knew मोदी जी का स्वच्छ भारत अभियान। It was a delight watching people clean up surroundings, people knocking on the windows of cars who threw trash on roads, people carrying their trash in their pockets until they found a trash bin. It seemed India was improving and then it all fizzled down in a few years.
You wanted magic. I tried to give you logic. But logic is in bad odor when the popular mind is excited. You wanted mantaram, I am not a Rishi and cannot give mantaram…I have never spoken a half-truth when I know the truth…I have never tried to lead people in faith blind-folded.
- Bipin Chandra Pal to Gandhi.
He was aware that the Khilafat movement was an excuse for perpetuating Pan Islamism, that always put religion above the state.
Bipin Chandra Pal’s stand on these issues, and his differences with Gandhi, cost him politically as he ended up marginalized in the Congress. But then he was always independent in his stance, be it in the social or political sphere, a true rebel of his times.
He was ostracized from his own family, for becoming a Brahmo, and by marrying a Brahmin widow, he walked the talk. Again while a Brahmo, in the later stages of his life, he was greatly influenced by Adi Sankara’s Vedantic philosophy.
Later under Bijay Krishna Goswami, turned towards the Vaishnava philosophy of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu. For him Swadeshi was not just political freedom, but also a spiritual revival,and he sought reform in education system.
Sadly with the Congress marginalizing him, he spent his last days in relative obscurity and loneliness.
Don't do western adventure activities in India.
In the west there is a strict protocol involved when it involves approving stuff with life risks.
In India there is no such thing.
You really don't want to go on a ride where your safety depends on a harness which was cleared by a disinterested babu who was more interested in the wad of notes that accompanied the form than the specifications of the equipment
@vijaythottathil To think that citizens of India is less stronger than one person.. who comes up with this anyway.. and to endorse it as fact.. gall of a person
Do you agree:
If #votechori is the reason for the loss in Bihar, why are the 45 lac voters whose names were deleted not on the streets of Patna or why has not a single opposition candidate asked for a single re-poll for a single booth?
In Maharashtra, why is Jeetendra Awadh of NCP doing an alliance with the BJP for the Maharashtra Cricket Association post? Why in Karnataka, not a single BLO (state government employee) is suspended for doing vote chori on the instructions of the ECI? Karnataka is where the most Hon'ble LoP started the #votechori allegations from. What about Lalu Prasad ji's daughter's allegations against an associate or peon of Tejashwi Yadav?
@Priyaa_Purohit If you have information, please file a case. What is stopping all of you from doing that? Don't you care for the democratic values.. or is it just for show here
