Vedic scriptures is very clear (rig veda) and prohibits any move. Even "Richard Stallman" (RMS) understands this https://stallman.org/articles/ramayana.html which native indian people act like they don't understand. I can site recent and better example that happened in TamilNadu (https://www.indiatoday.in/india/story/tamil-nadu-dmk-temples...). 120 or so priests were appointed who were not from priest families. This is not allowed by the vedas(the hindu book). It is because government intervened and fought against the temples decisions. There is some progressive things happening in these states. Thanks to Periyar.

You are proving my point. The fact that there was no murderous mobs rampaging against the TN government move should tell you majority's support for reforms. Compare that to a SC killed in Delhi for allegedly "disrespecting the holy book", or the Bangladesh riots for the same reason a few days ago.
