Sir,

Reference inauguration of a new AKSHARDHAM TEMPLE IN USA at the cost of thousands of crores of rupees, I would be grateful if you will publish my following comments:-

These people are wasting billions of rupees on these show-pieces, like Bollywood and show business. Why don't they also make schools, colleges and universities within these temple premises where various religions, like Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Sikhism and others are taught together with the modern curriculum which will make our country GREAT in the long run, rather than lots of villagers and city people visiting these dead monuments,and aftterwards having a lassi or tea and then going back home praising them.

When the Indians and Hindus, in particular, will learn? When will they start putting their money, like Americans and other Europeans into the educational institutions. The Hindus must not forget that it is because of the various schools, colleges and such in India and abroad that the people, who helped to have these temples build, earned their money because of the education they got in the existing schools/colleges. So who they are fooling by making these large, large temples, which is just a show piece and nothing more?

When the Hindus will wake up?

Thank you, Sir, JAI HIND.

Bhavdiya,
