My piece in @Openthemag on the #SreePadmanabhaswamyTemple judgement addressing as many aspects as possible in 3000 words Cc @TVMohandasPai - openthemagazine.com/features/for-g…
"A lesser known fact is that the Union Government was represented in the proceedings before the Supreme Court in the Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple case at least from March 20th,2017,until the conclusion of arguments on April 10th, 2019,which is reflected in over 20 orders passed.."
"by the court during that period.Yet,as reflected by the judgment of the Court,the Union Government for reasons best known to it,chose not to actively participate in the proceedings to clarify its position on Articles 25, 26.."
The historic judgement by the honourable supreme court upholding the rights of the Travancore royal family to administer #sreepadmanabhaswamytemple at Thiruvananthapuram will go a long way in freeing our temples from the clutches of the regimes. 
For several decades successive governments in Kerala have tried to take over the control of Hindu temples against the wishes of the millions of Hindus not just in Kerala but entire world.
This decision also strengthens the spirit of democracy and Constitution under which all citizens are equal and state can not discriminate between them on the grounds of religion, caste, gender etc.
