Dear Aggarwal
Your mindset is as bad as your language which reflect your education and culture. Earlier you got flak from many Keralites for abusing Keralites as a whole, but you have not improved
As being no authority on Hindu scriptures, I invited a discussion on the topic from persons who know about the scriptures and you reply provocatively. Now I challenge your knowledge about Hindu scriptures. Can you quote from any ancient Hindu scripture prescribing that elephants must be used in temple festivals? If it is there, why elephants are not being used in temple festivals in other parts of India, especially in the north. You talk about tradition, earlier there were sacrifices (Guruti) of animals and even human beings, why it has been stopped. Age old traditions should change if it it is not conducive to the welfare of the people.
I am no one to advocate for stopping elephants at festivals. I do not go for temple festivals to be trampled by rogue elephants and none among the 220 people who were killed by elephants during the last three years was my relative or friend. I do not care if you will be one among the 220 in the coming two years; but I share the grief of the relatives of the innocents who lost their lives to the elephants and am concerned that many more will be loosing their lives likewise in the coming days.

YES, Elephants are must for temple festivals. It is not the regular feature, some time it happened, but it does not means, you stop so long long tradition only for this incident.
Recently a fire broke-out in Brazil Club and app. 300 people died ( not 3) and more then 500 injured, what will you do? will you stop club or stop using the fire? This is your absolutey useless question for debit. An empty vessel sound much.

Dear All
In today's news also three people have been killed due to elephants getting wild at a temple festival. In this context, opinions from knowledgeable persons as to whether elephants are a must for temple festivals are solicited.
