Editorial Viewpoints

• Has a Hindu ever been appointed to a committee of mosques or churches ? Such incidents are occurring as a result of a lack of dharma education in Hindus !
• It is not surprising that such decisions are taken in temples run by the Communist Government’s Devaswom Board. Hindus must unite to intellectually defeat the Communists who are trying to unroot Hindus Dharma !
