haha get a life dude. If we consider Tamil hindus has 2500 kovils then every 491 has one kovil in SL.

 

[Beerbal]

Screw the temples....I would prefer if for once a govt. would promise to build schools and invest in educational infrastructure instead of a useless temple...
We need littérate people in our our country....not a bunch of dimwit bajrangis with an over hyped sense of hindutva with a penchant for violence and talibanism...

That is also happening, don't worry...

so how many would you like to compromise 1000 ? 500 ? anyways the desecration and demolition of Hindoo temple is a Hindoos problem not mine , and it s for the Hindoos to follow up on the disputed numbers.

And this is happening after the war ?

Sri Lankan Peninsula Road Expansion will Demolish 27 Hindu Temples and Monuments

Jaffna, Sri Lanka (CHAKRA) – Many Hindus and Hindu cultural organizations are shocked after hearing about plans to demolish around twenty-seven Hindu temples and ancient cultural monuments, as a result of a road expansion program in Jaffna, Kankesanthurai.

I don't agree with that news, if these religious places have deep historical background they won't be removed. Sinhalese do visit kovils.

Just curious do lankans believe in legend of Ramayana

No. We just admire Ravan for his strength and power. And of course for giving one of our friends some hard time.

make a ram tample in colombo as well while we are at it !!

Why did Ram come to Colombo as well? Actually we DO have a lot of hindu temples in Colombo. We have Weil chariots blocking roads here in Colombo.

agreed and MahaRaja's visit to Hindu temple was just a politcal stunt to fool the stupid Indian Hindoos

Actually Mahinda is more of a Hindu than a Buddhist. He truly believes in them, a very religious hindu and a believer of Sai Baba.

If 2500 temples were destroyed it would have made headlines. Can u please provide a reliable source apart from a Hindu website? Also many hindu temples were destroyed during war cos LTTE fired at the army from the temples. Also many of these temples are renovated and new ones are being built by the government in those areas.

So u accept there is a dispute over the number and u are not sure of it.
Normally road expansion projects cause demolition of religious structures unless there is a historical significance to it. It happens in the south of the country as well.
And again don’t talk abt things u have no knowledge of.

My job is not to defend the Hindoos , my job is to expose atrocities committed by a majority group upon its minorities.

Religious freedom in Sri Lanka has long been an issue of contention and it is often difficult to differentiate between religious and ethnic discrimination since the two are frequently intertwined. Nonetheless, a number of Hindu temples and religious institutions have been targeted and destroyed during the course of the civil war. According to past statistics, for instance, by 1992 over 1,700 Hindu temples had been destroyed in the conflict. And since then, many more have been destroyed. Moreover, reports indicate that in the final days of fighting in April and May 2009, the LTTE located artillery pieces next to religious facilities and the army fired heavy weapons at the same sites, often while they were in use as shelters for civilians

Also many of these temples are renovated and new ones are being built by the government in those areas.

any evidence ??

any case of buddhist temples or monuments in the south demolish for development or is it only peculiar to the non Buddhist ?


the reason for the so called "road expansion"

Many organizations are voicing their concerns about the threat to Tamil cultural symbols under the guise of a development process.
The Sri Lankan government has entrusted a Chinese organization the task of reconstructing four major road stretches in the Peninsula.

When are guys going to destroy the taj mahal......i heard there was an ancient temple underneath.

I didn’t say u defend Hindus. I asked u to give a more reliable source. Exposing atrocities is good but cooking up stories is bad. Still u didn’t give a reliable source.

any evidence ??

Online edition of Daily News - News
Just asking Have u been to North and East and seen the development there which includes renovation of Hindu temples? A suggestion, GO n SEE.

any case of buddhist temples or monuments in the south demolish for development or is it only peculiar to the non Buddhist ?

Many have been demolished. I remember in a particular case where a whole Buddhist temple was made to submerge in water in Mahaweli water tank scheme. Also many Buddha statues are removed, and temples destroyed whenever it is required to do. These things don’t hit the headlines of course because the news value is less.

the reason for the so called "road expansion"

I guess u know we had a war in these parts which destroyed much of the infrastructure and the gov is doing a mega scale development in these parts with expanding roads.
And why no mention abt the temples destroyed by the LTTE.

you are in denial mode and thats understandable, you need to save your face to the Indian Hindoos

All Ceylon Hindu Congress (ACHC) expressed deep concern over Sri Lanka's planned widening of the Jaffna-Kankesanthurai high way from Jaffna town to KKS as the plan would lead to the destruction and desecration of twenty seven Saiva temples and several historical cultural monuments along both sides of the highway, sources in Jaffna said. Officials of ACHC have protested the planned road upgrade to Northern Provincial Governor G.A. Chandrasiri.

Attacks on Hindu temples escalate

Last month the Urban Development Authority, headed by the minister for defence, Gothbaya Rajapaksa, ordered the demolishment of 60 year old Pillaiyar temple in Trincomalee citing “road development work.”

Why would BJP even build a temple in SL? And would SL govt even allow such a move?
