What!
The inventory of gold in India is enough to transform the whole country into a developed one, if properly used. It is laughable to hear of temple trustees saying they are safe keeping it for some god or the other. The more laughable is a god that is okay with illiteracy, malnutrition, poverty, ill health, and filth as long as his or her wealth is not touched.
Now when God loves Gold, it's 'Trump' after all he is human.
That is laughable, indeed. Says something about their (true?) values

It is laughable. There are temples in India that have tons of gold and other metals. It's kinda tradition here to offer gold to God for various reasons. There's a temple where thiefs and dacoits go to ask for the permission and promise God to give back a percentage of the theft.
Now you can believe India is truly incredible.
