Kendrapada, Orissa, December 17, 2006

Priests performed late night purification rituals at an Orissa temple and opened it for three days after its closure by upper castes protesting the entry of Dalits, reports said on Sunday.

Members of the royal family, whose ancestors had built the Jagannath temple some 300 years ago at Keradagarh village, 45 km from Kendrapada, spent hours talking to both the Dalits and upper castes on Saturday night, after which the temple was opened.

This is a shameful act by India and Hindu's defying social equality that too backed by the court. Who should be help responsible for comtempt of court? Will our politicians come forward and take a stand for the OBC's now?
