In India every tradition has its own temples. Most are open to all and some are open for their devotees. It's quite easy to find many temples within a few kilometer radius.

Each temple have their own tradition and they have the right to their own tradition. Now, allowing a non-devotee into the temple is their business. But that doesn't mean, one cannot find any temple anywhere.

> Each temple have their own tradition and they have the right to their own tradition

Hence the need for the government to step in and help out the hungry, instead of leaving it to temples, etc.

(Like I said, I don't necessarily disagree with who the temples choose to let in.)

Tradition is different from discrimination. Having your own tradition doesn't mean govt should step in promote themselves as saviors.
