Even 60 years after independence, in 21st century if the Temple fellows are so primitive to prevent fellow brothers and sisters into the temples, there is something grossly wrong. Those involved should be arrested.
I don't know how far it( the article) is true. But whats the point of threatening to get converted. will getting converted allow them entry pass in temple. will this solve the problem. what i understand from the article is that they love and worship this God and hence want to enter this particular temple. is this so? but when they threatened, what appears to me is they Donot worship this god but just want to have an upper hand on the upper caste. If they so dearly worship this god then how can they Convert to other religion. the conclusion, atleast to me is, they want an upper hand and hence are trying to make some point. they donot LOVE or WORSHIP GOD. its just an hatred towords Upper caste.
