The authorities at this hotel have violated the personal rights of minority groups, particularly Buddhist followers. They have made intrusive and inappropriate remarks, asking questions such as: "Are you from a Buddhist caste?" and "Why have you come here?" (What does Buddhist caste even mean?) When I politely responded that I had come to Bodh Gaya to pray, one of the hotel owners interrupted, claiming that the Mahabodhi Temple was originally a Hindu temple during their grandparents’ time and that Buddhists have now "entered" it. Such statements are not only historically inaccurate but also deeply disrespectful. This raises serious concerns about whether these hotel authorities treat Buddhist visitors—especially those from minority communities or with non-Indian features—with discrimination. It appears they take advantage of Buddhist kindness and hospitality while subtly undermining our religious rights. I strongly urge Buddhist followers from around the world to be aware of such attitudes. The Mahabodhi Vihara is a sacred Buddhist site, and no one has the right to distort its history or question our presence there. Respect for all faiths is fundamental, and such behavior should not be tolerated.
