Orissa High Court proclaims temple entry for all
In a significant judgement, the Orissa High Court rules that Dalits have a right to enter any Hindu temple:
“Every Hindu, irrespective of his caste, has a right to enter any Hindu temple which is open to other persons professing the same religion,” a division bench of Chief Justice Sujit Burman Roy and Justice M M Das observed.
Emancipatory, enlightened, epochal even - if this was the 18th century, yes? Ruling addresses concerns raised in Navya Shastra press release.
