KAUAI, HAWAII, USA, February 9, 2008: A reader points out with reference to yesterday’s HPI news summary, “Court Asks Lord Ayyappa Temple To Open Doors for Women,” that the information implied in the original article (Yahoo! News) is misleading. As reported here, “The [Kerala] government made its stand clear in an affidavit it filed before the Supreme Court” but the Court has not yet intervened. The effort to change the traditional protocol of Sabarimala remains an initiative of the Kerala State Government only.
