Ankur he went to conduct a religious ceremony for his infant grandson. In his interview the minister mentioned that his other grandson (the elder brother of this infant) died as a toddler and hence the mother of the infant made a promise to visit the God's temple and feed the infant's first solid food inside the temple. This was to get the God's blessing and protection for the infant. What's wrong with this?

Dude when people know that some temples are finicky abt trivial things then why to even make a wish to go to such temples..there are so many other temples in India..go to someother one if you know how things go on in a particular temple... and it was Mr.Ravi's or his wife's choice to go there..why to blame the priest who is bound to do such things as per temple's rule...

Really? So when the British wrote on restaurants that Indians and dogs are not allowed we should have simply ignored the place. When Gandhi got thrown out of train because he was brown it was okay, since he shouldn't have riden the train. We should have allowed the British and Muslims to rule India. You correct evil practices you don't shut your eyes to them. That's how humanity progresses and good wins over evil.

psst... he wasn't stopped from entering... nor was he thrown out... nor did he not get his job done. And please... your concept of EVIL certainly can be different from others'.
