Hey, demolishing Babri Masjid in Ayodhya (India) did not help Hindus to regain their glory. Ayodhya Ram temple is yet to be built, but presuming it existed before 1528 when Babri masjid was built, how did it really help the HIndus even back then? We Hindus were attacked and ruled by Allauddin Khilji and Tughlaq's even before that!!! Tughlaq dynasty was around from 1320's! And Jains have a claim over the site too - belonging to 6th century when Hindus purportedly juxtaposed their temple on Jain temple. What is the point in destroying a place of worship and rubbing salt over the wounds by erecting a statue of Ram spending a lot of money that could have been used for making food storage for people, and the project could have been named Ram? Oh yes, we can spread hands in front of IMF and World Bank, and European nations and the US, and the Australians, as if they don't need their monies and jobs for their citizens and calamities, as if the girls we give birth to are not Lakshmis (goddesses of wealth) that we go around with begging bowls to these foreigners. You all tell me how we the women from Hindu community will find any self respect in that. I have a suspicion that these statues are projects that help people siphon away monies for upcoming elections. Does Uttar Pradesh need only Hindu tourists? Please please Hindus from India voice your dissent against such wasteful expenditure or give me your logical reasons as to why it is right.

How many of Mosques and churches are building up here and there in India? Why not to shout against them, stop building them too aren't they wastage of time and money?

That does not sound logical!!! Logic is something irrefutable. Like if you open the hot water tap and the geyser is on from the night and there are no power outages then you are going to get hot water after initial few mugs. There cannot be any different answer to that. Now how many mosques and churches are built WAS NOT THE REASON FOR BREAKING BABRI MASJID. They said, if Ram Lalla's statue was installed, Hindus would prosper. I find nothing like that happening. I will shout against all mosques and churches after I break down each and every temple in the country primarily because the priests and guardians of my religion have ceased to understand it, and are cleverly safeguarding the only mutter some shlokas right or wrong job for their next generations, keeping the barriers of caste alive. Castes were not supposed to be permanent. They were supposed to be based on skill sets. Like the castes were made permanent, now the professions are becoming permanent. Actor's child becomes actor. Doctor's child becomes a doctor. Engineer's child becomes an engineer. A government employee's child becomes a government employee. And a banker's child becomes a bank employee. Even if Doctor's child is more suited to be a lecturer that profession is not allowed. Ridiculous. As if skills are passed down through genes.

@AuthorYogi That is where you are going wrong. This country is not for Hindus alone. Nowhere in the constitution it is meant that India is only for Hindus. You are filled with some vague notions. Pity the younger generation is being misled into believing such things. Another thing I intensely dislike is sending Indians abroad for job. We can't employ our people so we send them abroad for jobs. That is one of the most selfish things to do! I can understand if there is some exceptional talent that is needed elsewhere and there is no scope for it in our country since there is inadequate infrastructure and system to make the most of those talents. But I certainly can't understand our people going abroad studying there and not returning to make the country better place. We are making other countries finance our irresponsible breeding. Those jobs that they create are for their own citizens. Our folks go there and offer services for less because our folks do not maintain their standard of living and can therefore afford to do so. Effectively, local people get into unemployed list while our people get employed. That is oh so wrong! It is also wrong from our country's perspective because government spends tax payer's monies to educate people, subsidizing education, transport, food, etc. When the time for repayment comes, these people leave the country, instead of serving the country. That is simply section 420 of IPC! People need to feel the need to repay the country what it spent on them, along with interest at the highest rates that are prevalent in the country, BEFORE LEAVING THE COUNTRY, or support two other children in their professional education.

Religious issues aside, I've wondered the same thing about many statues that I've seen in some of the countries I visited. It's clear that they still deal with high poverty and yet they can think about building all these huge statues.

Such wasteful expenditure...sigh. And no way to control it. IMF does not say...monies to be spent only on XYZ...so they consider spending on this as a good thing also...amount is definitely definitely not small.

@vandana7 I agree. Some of the statues are extremely elaborate.

But people want churches, temples and masjids, dont they? When a temple is built, so many manual labourers get employment. So many people are paid. The engineer makes a good deal of money. Yes, the tax payers money goes there, is spent on it. But there will be so many tax payers themselves who will be visiting the temple later.
