Thursday, December 14, 2006 (Keradgarh):
A small group of Dalits defied an age-old ban to enter the Jagannath Temple in Orissa's Keradagarh village on Thursday. Two platoons of policemen provided security to the group.
The move comes after the Orissa High Court ruled that all Hindus, including Dalits, could enter the temple.
In November last year, four Dalit girls had been humiliated by upper caste Hindus for entering the temple.
The issue snowballed into a major controversy and the matter was finally settled by the Orissa HC.
