Mr. Hariharan.
I am not with you as far as allowing others to perform the functions of
archakas in the Temple. As you are aware, even the brahmin-devotees
are not allowed to enter the sanctum-santorum ( garbhagraham ) of the
Temples in order to preserve the sanctity ( sannithyam ) of the Deity.
The archakas must be pure in body and mind. You perhaps know that
they must get up at 4 in the morning, do poojas in their houses ( pancha-yudana or SriVidya or something else as is their custom ) chanting
Rudram, chamakam , sukthas and other mantras and then only enter the
Temple precinct. We can not disturb the Vedagama rules to suit the
political ends.

In regard to archana in Tamil, this is being done in some Temples.

Look at the crowd at the Temples now - in Palani, Tiruvannamalai, Madurai,
Trichy, Chidambaram, Tirupathi and Sabarimalai. Lakhs of people
circumambulate Tiruvannamalai Mountain every Full Moon day. They
belong to different castes. All these theistic devotees are not demanding
that archanas must be performed in Tamil; neither are they demanding
that non-brahmins must be allowed to do archanas. They have full faith
in us.

It is the politicians mean gibberish to show that they have brought out
some social reforms !!!
