Dude do you believe that won't be one of the first things Congress does? https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/bengaluru-news/karnataka-temple-tax-legislation-passed-in-both-houses-101709234861243.html

I thought Elon was supposed to be all knowing.

This is after 10s of thousands of temples have been destroyed by outsider Islamic invaders as well as terrorists within our borders.

The ones we currently have are still not maintained well lol. Maybe focus on that instead of the past.

Surprising thing is Kerala. With all the monicker for being anti Hindu, it does have a good number of temples for its size no?

Yes. The British only killed & tortured (y)our ancestors. We should love them for that.

It's clear people on this thread have never picked up a history book. Some dude saying 'apart from sabari mala I haven't heard of a big temple '. I mean it just shows your awareness.

Well, North bore the brunt of brutal invasions. There's a reason southern states still retain a lot more Hindu traditions compared to North. Also the difference in aggression levels.

Hahaha yeah. True. I also deduce the same. I want a counter argument though. For why northies are usually stuck up aholes😄.

Unfortunately, throughout our history - Mughals liked demolishing Hindu temples in their past time. The fact that there are more temples as you go down south is because Northern rulers literally acted as a shield while defending a considerably fragmented Hindu culture across the country.
They were pretty successful at doing this but some collateral damage was unavoidable.

Have you noticed, more the temples less likely they are to being intolerant bhakts. True Hindus are compassionate and tolerant.
