deeni meda ne spandaneti? http://www.andhraheadlines.com/news/national/156260/gender-w ar-women-demand-entry-into-shrines Mumbai: Mahaila Shakti is on a roll. After the Hindu women are asserting their right to enter the shrines like Sabrimala, Shani Shingnapur, Muslim women yesterday staged a protest demanding entry into Haji Ali dargah off the Mumbai coast. Several activists belonging to women groups held placards demanding entry for females into the sanctum sanctorum of the historic dargah, which receives hundreds of devotees every day. The Bombay High Court, which is hearing a petition challenging the Haji Ali Trust’s decision to ban women, is awaiting the Supreme Court’s verdict on women’s right to worship in the shrines. Earlier women threatened to airdrop into Shani Shingnapur temple in Ahmednagar district to break a 400-year-old tradition banning women from entering its sacred sanctum. The local police denied permission to chopper fly over the shrine. The march of Bhumata Brigade to the shrine was foiled by the police even as the Chief Minister called for a dialogue between the temple authorities and the protesters. |
