Dear friend,
Thanks for the posting.Hinduism is a strict religion with several do's and dont's and that is the exact reason why people like you great grand fathers swithced over to Islam.Nobody forces you to be a Hindu but the temples have thier own governing rules and those who want to pray at these temples should abide by them.For ex. a woman during menstual cycle is forbidden from enterind a temple...Is there any way of checking on this ?Only if it is known then it is a sin...get it !Men are not allowed to wear shirts inside the temple.. those who are shy of showing their chests need not enter...is that discrimination ? women are not allowed angapradistanam.. is that discrimination? Vylar ravi can choose to follow the customs of Hiduism if he chooses... even otherwise nobody is going to throw him out of Hinduism... but being a seasoned politician ...taking up such matters for self gains .is an insult to other Hindus like me who are proud of the great religion .For that matter howmany mosques allow women inside ? will you call that discrimination ?Let us live in harmony following our beliefs which I feel is the essence of life and the true meaning of secularism.

I really appreciate your comments and totally agree with you. Hinduism is not only a religious, its a tradition of lifestyle, what we leave to generations after generations. Religious with protected freedom to its followers, it leads for democracy and secularism...

my friend. Let's not mix religions here. Islam is good for you. Hinduism has certain code of conduct, please don't interfere. I am not saying this because you are a muslim, but the fact that your understanding/interpretation may not be in sync with the context in which all this is practised. You think the explanation is unsatisfactory. I think it makes simple sense. If you have the slighest of doubt, you perform the cleansing pooja. Nothing to do with a person/people, but for the general benefit of public
