Modiji is always straight to the point. My college friend used to brag about him when he was CM of Gujarat and I never understood why she was saying so. Now after he is the PM, I have gotten more matured in my understanding I am glad that we have a leader like him.

None of them said anything about capturing these. They are just saying attacks are happening there. And wo ho raha hai

Temples Under Government Control

1. Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) – Andhra Pradesh government controls this trust managing Tirupati temple.

2. Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple – While the royal family retains symbolic authority, the Supreme Court ordered partial administrative control by a government-formed committee.

3. Sabarimala Temple – Managed by the Travancore Devaswom Board, which is a government-appointed body in Kerala.

4. Guruvayur Temple – Also managed by a Devaswom Board in Kerala.

5. Shirdi Sai Baba Temple – Managed by the Shri Sai Baba Sansthan Trust, with significant government oversight.

🛕 Contrast: Religious Places of Other Faiths

Churches and mosques in India are usually not under direct state control. Their administration is generally handled by independent religious boards like:

• Waqf Boards (for mosques and Muslim institutions)

• Church committees (for Christian institutions)

Hindu temples because of, often citing public interest, transparency, and revenue management has sparked is generally discriminatory and demanding that temple management be handed back to the community or priests — similar to how other religions manage their places of worship.

Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanams (TTD) – Andhra Pradesh

• Annual Revenue: For the fiscal year 2024–25, TTD has projected a revenue of ₹5,141.74 crore.

• Contribution to State Government: TTD contributes ₹50 crore annually to the Andhra Pradesh government.

• Tax Payments: Over a span of five years, TTD has paid ₹130 crore in Goods and Services Tax (GST).
  

🛕 Devaswom Boards – Kerala

• Annual Revenue: The five Devaswom Boards in Kerala—Guruvayur, Travancore, Malabar, Cochin, and Koodalmanikyam—collectively manage nearly 3,000 temples and generate approximately ₹1,000 crore annually. Wikipedia

• Management and Oversight: These boards are government-appointed bodies responsible for overseeing temple operations, finances, and ensuring that traditional rituals and customs are maintained.

🛕 Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Trust – Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh

• Tax Payments: Over five years, the trust has paid ₹400 crore in taxes, including ₹270 crore in GST. The surge in tourism and donations following the temple's construction has significantly boosted its financial contributions.

In India, religious institutions are generally exempt from income tax if they allocate at least 85% of their income towards charitable or religious activities. However, they are subject to Goods and Services Tax (GST).

Muslim Institutions: Waqf Boards

• Taxable Activities: Waqf Boards manage properties dedicated to religious or charitable causes. While their core income is tax-exempt, revenue from commercial activities, like leasing properties for non-religious purposes, is subject to GST.

• GST Compliance: Out of the 30 Waqf Boards in India, only two—Kerala State Waqf Board and Dawoodi Bohra Waqf, Mumbai—are registered under the GST regime.
  

• Estimated Tax Revenue: Tax officials estimate that proper taxation of Waqf Boards' commercial activities could yield approximately ₹100 crore annually.
  

• Compliance Issues: Many Waqf Boards have received notices for non-payment of service tax and GST on rental income from properties used for non-religious purposes.

✝️ Christian Institutions: Churches and Related Bodies

• Financial Operations: Christian institutions, such as churches, are typically managed by independent trusts or societies. Their primary income sources include donations and offerings, which are generally tax-exempt when used for religious or charitable purposes.

• Commercial Activities: If these institutions engage in commercial activities, such as operating educational institutions or hospitals for profit, the income from such activities is subject to taxation, including GST.

• Tax Contributions: Specific data on the total tax contributions from Christian institutions is not readily available. However, they are required to comply with tax laws applicable to their commercial operations.
  
  In short no grants are given to hindu instititions but they are state controlled, the money which is coming from Hindu Instituitions, part of it is given as grant in aids to minority institutions. They are given free hand to operate on their own. The worst case is of WAQF board in India.
  
  I would have no problem if our money (Hindus) will be used for uplifting our community too. Also lack of transparency causes issues.
  
  You can do a cross check on how much Tax collection is done in India community wise too. that is also needed.
  
  Sorry for the long post..
