Despite the equal rights under the constitution, stated objectives of the Endowment Acts and observations by the SC, government control over Hindu temples has only increased. There is a need of a bill to free temples, aims to do justice to the ethos of equality enshrined in the constitution itself.

The British wanted to control Hindu temples as sources of revenue and sadly this tradition continues even today. The country which is deemed 'Secular' does not see the need to get out of management of Hindu temples. State government see the temples purely as a source of revenue generation and giving almost nothing in return. The demand to free temples from government control is almost 7 decades old. However nothing much happened all these years as the governments did not want to lose a major source of their incomes even though it was in contravention of the constitution they adhere to.

Post-Independence care was taken by the constitution to allow the minorities to control their educational and religious institutions so that their fears are allayed. However, the Hindus were not extended the same treatment. Over the last 7 decades, it has come to mean that the majority community cannot enjoy the same rights as the minorities. Hindus cannot manage their institutions, rules and regulations are imposed only on Hindu institutions. This is discrimination and hence a bill must be introduced to ensure that everyone is equal before the eyes of law.
For Judiciary as well ,There is challenge to verify the Constitutional Validity of the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowment Act.
