Mismanaged?

How we could have handled the issue of women’s entry to temple, better.

It is well known, any changes to the status quo shall invite the opposition, at least from the few who would have been feeling fortunate to be part of the permitted ones. Since this can make them feel at a loss by not being able to be privileged, as earlier. And it becomes an ego issue.

At any organization, those responsible to implement and manage such changes need to follow some pattern. Introduce certain requirements that give an air of authenticity, or selection, to those permitted anew. For example, we could start with permitting the entry of women of such age groups who have undergone certain special rituals. Like visiting a few notified temples. The more complex we make such rituals, more bliss, the disciples shall be feeling.

In such a scenario, the matter would not have gone to the judiciary at all.
