I was in Kerala last three days. Absolutely amazed & emotional about the groundswell of determination among hindus.
Across parties/ ideologies, #Sabarimala has united us. SM, WA lit up with people discussing article 25, rights of deity, temple as public property etc.
People suddenly hyper aware of apocalyptic changes being thrust upon us, have forgotten our differences.
Randomn people coming up to me and discussing #ReadyToWait almost made me weep.
Swamy Ayyappan blessing us ordinary lesser mortals with near-cosmic experiences!
Its brilliant to watch as people fully grasp wider implications of two core issues that will emerge from #sabarimalahearing if verdict is FOR entry.
1. Temple becomes a public institution without religious denomination
2. The deity's status as juristic person revoked.
My aunt said "if that happens, I'll demand that govt take responsibility of running every single, smallest, poorest temple in the land"
The legislature will cut a very sorry figure, if they can't address the mass anxiety expediently.
