Temples under attack in Andhra Pradesh: Hindus must be granted autonomy and the chance to defend themselves from external attacks

Op India  

The recent series of temple vandalism incidents across Andhra Pradesh have left Hindus all over the country horrified and shaken. Prior to this incident, a 12th century Nandi was found broken to pieces at a Śiva temple in Chittur district; two old Hindu temples in Suryaraopeta, East Godavari district was illegally demolished by neighbouring Church’s Pastor, who also stole the antique idols housed within, and 23 idols of small shrines in Pithapuram, East Godavari district was brutally vandalized. While the incidents seem to have no connection with the political party in power – as the numbers have been consistently high for the past years, the magnitude and scale of destruction have certainly increased this past year – with two priceless temple chariots being burnt to ash within a few months of each other: The first was the chariot belonging to the Prasanna Venkateśwara Temple at Kondabitragunta Village, Nellore, was burnt to ash in the middle of the night in mid-February 2020. The second was the priceless teak wood chariot belonging to the famous Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple at Antarvedi in Andhra Pradesh’s East Godavari district in September of 2020. The court also made a statement saying that merely attending Christian Gospel conventions and prayers in Churches, having a crucifix and a bible at home is insufficient to be considered Christian – another clear sign of the putrid collusion of the High Court and Government to undermine the sanctity of Hindu temples, especially one of such immense importance to the Hindu community such as the Sri Venkateśwara Temple at Tirupathi.
