    This caste, religions are all man made as Holy Scripture says "You are gods or children of the Most High." This cast, religions, self made gods of money, power... all for business or to make money, divide and rule, mostly for enslavement of uneducated, lazy in studying holy scriptures, gullible and ignorant. Be like gods with love, peace, joy, self control, humility, gentleness, kindness, charity, brotherliness... and not like demons of lust, pride, anger, arrogance, hatred, jealousy, greed, gluttony, sloth, rudeness, selfishness... to enjoy life and to make earth a heaven!

    Hinduism is in danger because of hindhus only... why blame other communities when the strong pillar of religion is casteist untouchable principle... sadly there is no solution other than becoming non religious or embracing other religions...

    First throw that priest out of the village at the earliest. He is unfit to be called as a priest .. a servant of God.

    "The police, district administration and department of social welfare has taken cognisance of the incident". This is nothing, but only an exercise in futility. Thousands of such cases have happened, are happening, and will continue to happen in the future. Nothing will happen to the Swamis. No change will be there in upper caste Hindus practices on Dalits. Dr. Ambedkar said "There is no liberty, fraternity and equality in Hindu religion". He also said "As long as Hindu religion is there, the caste system will continue".

    "Caste is not a physical object like a wall of bricks or a line of barbed wire which prevents the Hindus from co-mingling and which has, therefore, to be pulled down. Caste is a notion; it is a state of the mind." B. R. Ambedkar Authorities concerned need to take stern action on such temple priests. But our government is worried about hurting Majority Hindu's sentiments and invite unfavourable situation, especially when elections are approaching. Politicians worried more how to defeat Congress rule !
