The Supreme Court, in its September 28 majority judgement (4:1), had decided in favour of allowing women in the menstrual age (10 - 50) to worship in the Sabarimala temple dedicated to the celibate deity, Aiyappa.
The temple town on Sabarimala has been on a turmoil since it opened on Wednesday (18 October) for rituals. Many devotees, both men and women, have been staging protests against the attempt of the judiciary to rationalise faith.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
