Ramgopal succeded in sending you off on a tangent by taunting you on a subject
so dear to you. Lighten up.
You said, " *** And I asked WHY NOT? If the kind of Hinduism the custodians
of one of its holiest seats are practising, is cited as a reason for Assam to
NOT seek independence, then SHOULD Assam ought to buy such reasoning from those
who seek continued control over Assam by India?"
Did someone say that the kind of Hinduism practised at Puri is what Assam
should practise to be part of India? Ramgopal has not. The incident at Puri
definitely can't be a reason for Assam to secede from India. That will be no
better than what the priests did when a non-Hindu (polluter in the eyes of the
priests) entered the temple, in fact it is the same kind of reaction -
rejection.
Now on the incident at Puri - Change is bound to happen if the educated and
liberated Hindus in India stop visiting or donating to the temple. Temples need
money to run. Absence of money will cause a quick change in the thought process
of the priests and the board of trustees.

You tell us if it is a reasonable argument. Or if such an argument should be
given any respectability?
