Summary:
Some trustees have been doing dadagiri for too long," said Trupti Desai, who led the fight for women's entry into Shani Shingnapur temple. "It was heartening to hear the SC observation. A women's group that has been leading the fight for equal rights for both genders in religious places welcomed the Supreme Court observation on Sabarimala Temple, with some stating they now want to have a woman head for the trust that runs Shani Shingnapur Temple, and also a woman chief priest. We also look forward to having a woman priest," said Desai. There has been a positive development in the country," said Zakia Soman, convenor of Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan..
