Bindu, a 40-year-old law professor, left, and 39-year-old government supplies officer Kanakadurga met just weeks ago. Now they finish each other’s sentences. The pair, who entered the Lord Ayyappa temple in Sabarimala, southern Kerala, on Jan. 2, became the first #women to officially do so since the Supreme Court overturned a longstanding ban in September that prevented women of “menstruating age”—defined as between the ages of 10 and 50—from entering the temple complex. Afterward, the head priest shut the doors for an hour-long “purification ceremony.” Across #Kerala, in southern #India, mobs claiming to be offended devotees are going on a rampage, damaging buses, burning effigies and throwing stones and crude bombs in the streets. One man has died, and hundreds have been injured. Police have arrested more than 5,700 people. Many #Hindus believe that the energy, or chaitanya, of a woman’s body is polluted during menstruation. Most temples allow women to enter as long as they are not on their period, but the #Sabarimala temple is one of the few banning women of childbearing age altogether. “People will always spit at those trying to push for social change,” Kanakadurga says. “We’ll be asked what’s the hurry to become #equal, why us two, why today, why not tomorrow, or why this way. It’s part of any transition. I just appeal to my brothers on the streets to find some #tolerance within them, and stop the violence in our name.” Read more on TIME.com.
