A country doesn't modernize by breaking traditions. There is no discrimination against women... UNDERSTOOD... it is a protocol and there is a reason behind not allowing women of certain age into the temple.
Temples are not some tourist spots... follow the protocol and come if you want to pray, otherwise just keep quiet.
Media sensatinalize the claim that some Kannada actress touched the diety at Sabarimala, 18yrs ago, so all poojas, vratha, deekshas undertaken by devotees are wasted. Media do not let out the fact that the said actress is married to a Christian and converted to Chritianity a long time ago... A CHEAP PUBLICITY... HYPOCRITES....
