The talk of the judicial activism seems to have died down. These are the times of peoples' movements. Any attempt on government's part to suppress the voices probably proves to be suicidal. Recently the temples in Maharashtra were at the receiving end. The state sees the distribution of prasad to devotees as a 'taxable asset'. So yet another attempt to commercialise a spiritual entity known as faith. Indian populace lives with a serious religious attachment in its every sphere. The reason why the cricket has become almost a prayer is obvious. Every year the governments formulate the budgets. Incorporating and picking hosts of things up to bring them under the tax umbrella. Seems the taxable things have ended. Revision of the prices of crucial commodities lies at the front at the end of every financial year. The two per cent educational cess has already put extra burden on the wallets, though the concerned government brought it with an eye to improve the public health; luckily or unluckily the move attracted a warm welcome from a specif stratum of society. Social activities and the day-to-day proceedings at the law making bodies hardly have anything in common. Men, women and children are the bunch who leave no stone unturned to find a day away from the hustle and bustle. So keep spirituality aside. And, don't contaminate it with the government activism...
