A Hindu man living in Nevada says he’ll be watching the outcome of Oklahoma’s Tuesday election with an eye toward putting a statue of a Hindu deity on the state Capitol grounds in Oklahoma City.

Rajan Zed, president of the Universal Society of Hinduism, said in a news release this week that if State Question 790 passes, Hindus will “re-pursue their interest to install Lord Hanuman statue in Oklahoma Capitol grounds.”

Zed has written before to the Oklahoma State Capitol Preservation Commission expressing an interest in putting the statue at the Capitol.

Oklahomans will vote Tuesday on State Question 790, which would remove from the state constitution the so-called Blaine Amendment that prohibits the use of public money or property for the direct or indirect benefit of any religion or religious institution.

Opponents of SQ 790 say it could open the door to all kinds of requests for monuments at the Capitol, as well as other unintended consequences.

Proponents of SQ 790 say the Blaine Amendment should be removed from the constitution because it could be used to justify defunding much-needed faith-based social services.
