Secondly, he brings in an ex-ISRO scientist to support his case. It is quite pathetic to see that this ISRO scientist, educated in institutions like RECs and IITs funded by Indian taxpayers, is also tied down by the tradition and its inhuman practises. What use is his education and knowledge of space and heavens if he is blind to what is happening around him and right here in our soil? The scientist should be stipped off his scientist post and his pension and other governmental payments must be stopped right forth if he is hand in glove with activities that go against the spirit of Indian constitution.
I support Shri Ravi in this crusade, for once he will find the communists - who were spineless on some of these issues in the days of EMS - will support him and he should take up this issue forward and stop all governmental support to this and such other temples and their institutions of priesthood until it opens its doors to all devotees.
Idiot Subhramshu. Its none of the CPIM, or Congress or Indian States Business what is religious rights of a temple, as long as it does not discriminate amongst believers.
Non-Hindus are not believers in Hinduism and thus banned NOT ONLY FROM THIS TEMPLE, BUT FROM ALL MAJOR HINDU TAMPLE ACORSS INDIA.

Great Chakradhar Gopal. I had posted this very thing in rediff yesterday in connection witth Saudis deporting Indian muslims overstaying in Saudi Arabia on a pilgrimage visa.
Your comment that an ISRO scientist would have to be anti-religious is blatantly ignorance.
THE FIRST HIGHER SCIENTIFIC INSTITUTION IN INDIA, BASU VIGYAN MANDIR (FOUNDED BY JAGADISH CHANDRA BOSE) WAS DESIGNED BY SISTER NIVEDITA ACCORDING TO HINDU AND BUDDHIST TRADITION.
GET YOU R HEAD CHECKED FIRST, AND FIND OUT THAT VEDIC RELIGION IS NOT ANTI-SCIENCE AS XTIANITY WAS AGAINST SCIENTIFIC ENQUIRIES IN EUROPE IN THE MIDDLE AGES.
SHAME THAT YOU APPEARS TO BE FROM BENGAL WHICH GAVE BIRTH TO VIVEKANAND.
