  • The temple denies the allegations and asserts a ministerial exception, which is a first-amendment based legal doctrine that prevents courts from interfering with religious institutions’ employment decisions on “ministers” or equivalent responsibilities – such as teaching faith, leading workshops, or carrying out religious duties.

    Two hundred Dalit workers, members of the lowest caste in India’s rigid social hierarchy, came from Rajasthan to New Jersey to work on the temple. Historically subjected to extreme social and economic marginalization, Dalits have long been relegated to the most dangerous and lowest-paid labor. Dalit workers are also purportedly not allowed to worship in these temples because of their low caste ranking.

    Cool, abusing religious loopholes to fuck people over. Sounds like the US I know.

    The Department of Justice recently closed the criminal investigation in September without charges. Now, a civil case against Baps that was paused during the criminal investigation can resume.

    That tracks, too. The current Christo-Fascist regime doesn’t want to fall prey to the same criminal processing. Gotta quash it!
