| Title | Temple Entry: Examining The Intersection Of Caste, Gender And Religion |
| Summary | Temples in India have immense political and social power. Two groups have been historically marginalized and face strong opposition to temple entry: Dalits and women. This thesis, in particular, it explores the Dalit temple entry movement in Tranvancore that took place in the 1920s. On the women’s issue, it focuses on the Sabarimala temple entry by critically examining the litigation histories of the Kerala High Court and Supreme Court of India cases that form the legal basis for their temple entry. It provides a socio-legal narration in how these two groups responded to the temple entry issue and establishes the interlinkages between caste, religion and gender. |
