Temple in Orissa and Non-Hindu Devotees

Today , two Indian origin NRI are arrested by police, tried to enter the Lord Jagannath temple.After questing ,the police released them. Police arrested them because they thought that the foreigners are Non-Hindu.

It is not only Jagannath temple, several other temples in Orissa do not allow a certain portion of people to enter the temple. In some cases Non-Hindu people are not allowed , in other cases even a part of the Hindu population ,specially SCs and STs are barred from give prayer to their god.

When I heard such type of news ,some question arises to me :

What can be unfortunate than that ?

Which god in the Hindu religion has taught us that all men are not equal ?

Does the colour of blood between Hindu and Non-Hindu people differ from each other ?

Is it necessary to believe that Non-SC and Non-ST people in Hindu religion have less love to god that other Hindu people ?

If a Hindu people can enter a Mosque or a Church ,what is wrong with allowing them to our work place ?

Is there any holy book which divide the world on the basis of race and caste ?

The existing system is not the opinion of any god or the philosophy of Lord Jagannath. It is simply a tactics adopted by few people and some particular caste of people in the society for their benefits .Even though the Orissa is in 21 century ,still we are following their in-humane rule which started few hundred years ago without any justification.

We should wake up now..........
