@sumanthraman @svembu Sir please see @SubramanianKri response to the tweet for a similar post

One of the finest articles explaining the Sabarimala dispute !!!!

[Indic Collective @indiccollective]

In 2018, a five-judge bench armed with the Oxford English Dictionary and the “Essential Religious Practices” doctrine tried to dismantle the centuries old tradition followed at Sabarimala temple through a hearing session conducted for a few days. They failed. And in failing, they unleashed the greatest religious movement of the century.

The Ayyappa tradition is a sampradaya, the Hindi text of Article 26 uses exactly that word. But courts spent seventy years applying an Abrahamic “denomination” test to Hindu civilisations that never built synods, only paramparas. The 2018 majority never asked the only question that mattered: Do millions of devotees sincerely hold that the deity’s celibacy requires the restriction? They do. They have. For centuries.

Meanwhile, the women who actually observe the Vratham (not the petitioners who indulged in uncalled activism) built the “#ReadytoWait” campaign. They refused to cross a threshold their own faith had marked as sacred.

The nine-judge bench now decides: Can courts be theologians? Can a PIL by non-devotees demolish a living tradition? Lord Ayyappa waits on his mountain. His devotees still call Saranam.

@TharoorOffice @ShashiTharoor Alternatively if the current Lok Sabha seats are purely based on population, are you trying to convey that we need to revisit the older method of these many seats were actually decided upon and followed up till now sir?

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@TharoorOffice @ShashiTharoor Is the current delimitation exercise based on population or it’s just a blanket fifty percent increase in the total number of Lok Sabha seats catering to each state at the existing numbers sir?

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@arvindgunasekar This is a cas were perhaps one of the grounds on which it was dismissed was not making the Dargah the party. This is not on merits and would not subjugate the existing judgment

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@arvindgunasekar Hilarious. Please read the conspectus of facts leading to the dispute and subsequently the court order. The Order is determinative of the right to lit the lamp at “Deepasthambam”. My right to practise that lighting at the designated place was tested before the court

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@arvindgunasekar Hilarious. None of them were allowed. There is video evidence to show that few office bearers were willing to go only with three people. It’s the right of every Hindu to witness the lighting of the lamp. Looks like a pathetic excuse

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@RKRadhakrishn It’s sometimes hard to believe that journalists like you don’t read the law or the order of the court. There is an appeal without stay. The Entire government should be held at contempt including people like you who criticise the judge and not the judgement

@Samaniyantweet @aadtyaa_ Can he spell out the names of those who stopped such reservation policy?

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@Samaniyantweet @aadtyaa_ What an Irony. He quotes Periyar as a pioneer of social justice who got reservations for the backward community in TN. Since he refers to “Brahmins” who stopped such reservation policies, in 1938, being a lawyer, does he know who drafted the Temple entry act

All those who had no problem with @NarendraModi inaugurating an official emblem with (Hindu) prayers, answer this: If Hamid Ansari—as Rajya Sabha chair—had inaugurated the same with (Muslim) prayers, how would you have reacted?

And be honest, for once in your miserable lives!

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@sumanthraman @char_joker 🤣🤣

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@sardesairajdeep Only if you exhibit "fair" criticism 🤣

[Narendra Modi @narendramodi]

India scripts history.

We are witnessing the triumph of Indian science, enterprise and collective spirit of 130 crore Indians.

Congrats India on crossing 100 crore vaccinations. Gratitude to our doctors, nurses and all those who worked to achieve this feat. #VaccineCentury

@PiyushGoyal @narendramodi Sir, kindly notify SEIS scheme for 19 20 sir

[Sumanth Raman @sumanthraman]

If Hindi is the issue here, then let him say Vaazhga Bharatham instead.

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@ssramkrishnan Are things all right?

[Veeraraghavan @vvsrivatsan]

@sumanthraman Sir, then have a hybrid solution for every place of worship, why only temples.
