If you cross a line , that too on purpose , knowing fully well that there would be reaction , then you are clearly at fault . Also you are on purpose instigating violence and provoking people who are already angry . Abetting violence . #sabrimala

Also I am certain that the violence by some men and police is state sponsored to make the Hindus / rw look bad . Elections are coming and this could make Modi government look like regressive women haters who take to violence . All state sponsored violence .

Feminist cry " her choice " if a woman chooses to wear a burqa so why can't same logic " his choice" be applied if lord Ayyappa chooses to refrain from contact from women of certain age group ?

To add I am not a religious person , I barely visit any temple or practice any ritual but I will speak up if I see injustice and opportunist greedy culture taking advantage .

Carrying arms in any form in not allowed yet Sikhs are permitted to carry "kirpan" as part of their religious belief . Exception permitted due to tradition . Jews are allowed not work on Saturday as they observe "sabbath" as per tradition . Exception and permitted .

Recently a Sikh man was allowed to join the Quiens guard without weakening the mandated helmet as he cannot cut his hair due to his religion . Exception . Permitted due to religious belief .

Recently in USA a Christian couple owning a bakery was allowed to refuse to bake a cake where they are asked to write pro same sex sentence which went against their religious belief . sC of USA permitted them to refrain from such an act . You can't force sacrilege

I have long maintained that I find the idea of pouring milk on shivalingam a waste in a country where millions die hungry . I want a law where the milk after being offered to lord shiva is given to the poor . SC may or may not pass that law .

Correction : it's not mahakal temple in Ujjain but kal Bhairav temple in which alcohol is offered and received from deity . I apologise for this mistake

We wear shoes inside a church but not inside a temple or mosque . Different religion , different rules .

Alcohol is banned in Gujarat/ Bihar but sacramental wine is permitted in churches as it is part of the Christian faith . That too only in churches , not for all Christians.

I find Tajia/ Muharram as a public display of violence and people specially children should be subjected to viewing or participating in such events but that's is an accepted religious ritual/tradition . Can and should SC interfere in these matters ?

If a Muslim woman wishes to wear a nikab and be married to a man who married 3 other woman , we say it's her decision . Then why can't we let lord Ayyappa decide if he wishes to practice "brahmacharya" , a tradition where a man must abstain from contact with women

What I found shocking that it was a Muslim man who fought for this
#sabrimala verdict in SC . It's an internal matter of devotees and believers why are non Hindus and non believers interfering or training to alter tradition ?Show this thread -
Also the women who tried to enter
#sabrimala were neither Hindus , nor believers or devotees . Christian Mary sweet , Muslim Rehama Fatima and atheist ( whoever she is) neither have any business to be there or any devotion for the lord .#sabrimalaShow this thread -
They had not even completed the mandatory 41 day vritam, but wanted to access lord , a condition must even for 50+ women . Also they know they would be stopped . Initially people pleased politely . But they still persisted force needed to be used

I am not justifying violence but let's say a person wants to come and steal inside your him , first to talk , then you please and if they still persist, then force becomes more of a need than violence . I saw pics of devotees falling on the feet and begging .

Violence is killing someone , butchering them , burning them with tyres around them . A couple of slaps and a little pushing after you have been warned not to do something is not violence but teaching a lesson on the spot . Needed and justified .

In church both men and women are supposed to cover their heads but when they visit Pope only women are required and mandated to cover their heads . Why don't xtian she/liberals go screaming sexism / misogyny, equal rights for men and women blah blah ?

One observing navratras has to fast for 9 days as per the rules described . Ladies observing chatth Pooja have to follow strict rules of no sleep for 72 hours , no food , tv , radio , entertainment . Every ritual / religious practice has its own rules .
#sabrimalaShow this thread -
Christians do lent fasting . Muslims observe 30 days fast for Eid where food or water can be considered during daytime . If children who go to govt schools refuse the mid day meal , should they be force fed because it's the law ? Exception

Similarly if a male deity wishes to observe a certain practice / ritual called "brahmacharya" which mandates him to abstain from women of certain age group , why not respect it and let it be . It's not woman hating but part of a religious practice

In Islam a woman is not supposed to marry for 3 months ( called iddat) after divorce or death of her husband . It's a religious tradition and practice . Never seen any screaming feminists trying to alter these traditions .
#sabrimalaShow this thread -
As a woman I find the idea of 4 marriages unacceptable and as a human the practice of male circumcision violation of human rights for a baby . But it a matter of Islam and Muslims to think and alert or not . As a non Muslim , I have no rights to interfere

If tomorrow a Muslim man or a woman wishes to repeal these traditional laws , I would happily assist them . But has any Hindu woman , devotee outraged against the

After seeing blackmail rape do chistian women due to co fission by women to priests , I as a woman wish to get confession to male priests banned , only to female nuns . Can and Should , i as a not Christian move to court ?

Ban on woman of a certain age group is a letter of internal faith and can only be raised if any devotee woman or believer has an issue . Why should Muslims lawyer and Muslim , Christian, atheist feminists ( read attention seeking wannabes) have any say .

Lord Ayappa like every other deity is present in different phase of life in different temple . We have temples for bal Krishna , Krishna ,and Krishna Radha . Similarly shivalingam , only shiva idol , shiva with Parvati idol , natraj , depicting different phases of life
#sabrimalaShow this thread -
Even man Durga appears in different forms and phases of life in different temple , and the way to worship them and the rituals differ. I know a mata temple which does not allow men during certain hours .
#sabrimalaShow this thread -
Similarly in
#sabrimala lord Ayappa is in his brahmacharya phase where is observing abstinence from women of certain age group . His practice as per the dos and don'ts in this phase of life should be respected . Other Ayappa temples exist for female devoteesShow this thread
