I am ashamed that we have professors like you in India.
Professor, why can't you understand that it is not a qustion of gender bais. If that be, there should have been a blanket ban on women. In Sabarimala girls under the age of 10 years and women above 50 are allowed.
Betterlearn more about Hindusim, professor. All traditions hae some base. You will get satisfactory answer, if you learn more about the traditions of Hindu community in Kerala. Sabarimala is a shrine, where people from any religion can enter. Lord Ayyapa does not discriminate you on caste, religious and gender basis.
The one who is having sound knowledge on any topic, will talk about it very little.
