But the horrible memories of those days still linger in the minds of every devotee who fought to ensure that the Sabarimala traditions were not broken by a bunch of atheists.

Horrible, because this was a very rare occasion, when a ruling atheistic state government decided to use its entire might to break the traditions of a popular temple. Millions of devotees were disturbed and hurt.

THREAD: In todayโ€™s hearing in Supreme Court on #Hijab, @MNizamPasha for the petitioners made brilliant arguments

1. There is a conflict between SC judgements on whether only essential religious practices are protected or if all sincere beliefs are protected by Article 25 Image
2. Article 25 guarantees every individual freedom to practice their faith. Recently, the 5 judge bench in review of the #Sabarimala judgement said that there is a conflict between Shirur Mutt & Dargah Committee cases that has to be resolved by 9 judges
3. Whether or not the โ€˜essentiality testโ€™ has any place in Indian jurisprudence is now pending decision before 9 judges. How then can the present 2 judge bench decide this issue without referring the matter to a larger bench?
