A point about the virtual revolt by devotees of Ayyappa that is taking place in many parts of Kerala opposing the recent verdict by the Supreme Court that now permits all women to undertake a pilgrimage to the hallowed shrine. The revolt is not needed at all if women by themselves decide to abide by centuries-old traditions. There is no compulsion to make the pilgrimage. Is there any stronger law than one’s own conscience?
