We have to really make the society understand that women are standing for their rights and equality is absolutely non-negotiable and that is something we all want to do. Why to unnecessarily make it look like women are standing against men. This is not what it is!

Recently, a five-judge bench of Supreme Court, in a 4:1 verdict, ruled that women of age group 10 to 51 can enter the Sabarimala temple in Kerala. It was a historic ruling by the apex court, giving a push towards gender equality.

While terming the ban on women in the age group of 10 to 51 as religious patriarchy, CJI Dipak Misra declared the discriminatory act as unconstitutional and violative of fundamental rights.
