All Debates on #Sabarimala hosted by news channels are by very conception and format are biased, prejudiced and place Hindus at a disadvantage. They use Rights, Equality, and all such heavy sound narratives to shut tradition.
These narratives are by definition prejudiced since, they are rooted in Eurocentrism and Abrahamism and have no meaning or relevance in Hinduism. #Sabarimala
Notion of equality has no relevance especially in Hindu pursuit of religious &spiritual emancipation. Our Hindu worldview is rooted in concept of Svabhava & Adhikara. Moksha is ultimate goal for each person, but the path is never same. Path depends on Temperament and Competency.
Since, Spiritual pursuit depends upon one's temperament & competency, there is no question of 'Right to admittance' or equality in admittance. It is all about each pursuing what is best for them and the path for which they have temperament & competancy. #Sabarimala
But, does News Anchors have patience to hear to all these arguments? No, for them and for rest of urban society equality and rights have become unquestionable gospels! I call this, Liberal Superstition! #Sabarimala
