It's indeed unfortunate that such a highly literate community (that's compared with the developed economies) allows age old irrationalities at places such as Guruvayur and Sabarimala. We need immediate reforms. It's a networked world and hinduism has always only welcomed people of all communities, it's known for its tolerance. Any person who has belief should be permitted to pray at Guruvayur and Sabarimala. Let's not complicate the issue with stupid logic in this 21st century! To begin with, let Guruvayur apologise to Yesudas and open a new era of equality! Regds - venusaleena@rediffmail.com
