Biggest Hindu Temple In US Runs Into Massive Allegations?

The Indian population is slowly increasing in other nations and with the growing population, religious places are coming up there so that Indians can offer prayers. As a big example of this, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) which is a big Arab nation has a Hindu temple and people go there regularly.

The New Jersey state in the United States recently welcomed a massive Hindu temple in the small Robinson Township. The temple is said to have been inaugurated on October 8th. This grabbed the attention of everyone as it is the largest Hindu temple outside India.

Spoiling the happiness, the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) Akshardham temple is said to have run into serious allegations. Not only that a lawsuit was also filed alleging abuse and exploitation.

As per the media reports, six construction workers who are from the Dalit community raised serious allegations of casteism, exploitation, and discrimination. The local media said that the Bochasanwasi Akshar Purushottam Swaminarayan Sanstha (BAPS) alleged the violations of US labour and immigration laws.

If we have to take anything from the media reports, the construction workers reportedly said that they were taken from India and were subjected to exploitation and even less pay compared to others.

This issue became a sensation as the largest Hindu temple outside India ran into serious allegations days after its inauguration. With the lawsuit filing the issue will go to the court and will grab the attention of the other nations as well.

It is known that the construction went on for 12 years with thousands of workers working on it. Now a few workers among them are said to have filed a lawsuit. Now everyone is talking about the allegations.
