1. This High court judgment is problematic at so many levels, and clearly illustrates how divorced are our legal system from religion, culture, & philosophy, in short divorced from Dharma of this country.

2. First, it presumes that the scientific paradigm alone is authentic knowledge and the rest- the religio-cultural knowledge- are branded as superstitions & myths. This itself is problematic as it cancels the rich religious & cultural knowledge traditions of India.
3. Second, judgment falsely equates distinct notions of menstruation prevalent in different religions into a homogenous category of 'ritual impurity' as if all religions perceive purity-impurity in same way. I have shown in my book #MenstruationAcrossCultures how this is not so.
Four of my books are doing exceptionally well on @amazon!

1. As we wait for SC verdict on #Sabarimala review petitions, resharing my work on #menstruation which basically started as a response to media narrative on Sabarimala and as a defense of Ayappa Swami.
2. Two articles on #Sabarimala issue:
a. Why Sabarimala controversy is religious issue, not women’s rights issue-newsgram.com/why-sabarimala…
b. Sabarimala Debate: How Equality discourse is being used to undermine Adhyatmic practices- indiafacts.org/sabarimala-deb… #SabarimalaVerdict

1. I had heard about #Sabarimala and Ayappa Swami when I was in school. But never knew much, or cared, except that some people took some kind of vow, wear a black dress for a few days before going to Sabarimala on pilgrimage. #SaveOurSabarimala
2. Even though as I grew up, I came to know more about them, there was never any kind of affinity as such. It was in 2015, which marked a turning point in my life on many counts: personal and professional, & it was then that I truly became emotionally connected to Ayappa Swami.
3. It was a time when the Sabarimala issue was taken to the court and there were all kinds of media narratives. We had Right-to-bleed movements of feminists and in response, we got the Ready-to-wait movement by @IchBinGorg and team. #SaveOurSabarimala
