The author distorts the message from another article referred in Ravi's case. Ravi's wife was a Christian and the purification rites were perfromed since she entered the temple. The temples do not discriminate backward-hindus as the author mention here. I am a back-ward hindu and I have never felt discriminated in any Kerala temple. Ezhavas were strong to fight for their rights and this resulted in the temple-entry act. Other backwards were not strong and got converted. So why not other faiths first accept and respect Hinduism and then fight for entry? Temple is a divine pilgrim center and not a tourist spot. Budhism, Jainism are all Indic tolerant religions unlike the monotheistic religions. Many ezhavas have a budhist past too, sir. Can a christian or a muslim belive in Lord Guruvayoorappan also along with Christ or Allah? Then they should fight for second proclamation. Otherwise just learn to be tolerant.
