Women Take Historic Step Into India Shrine
Two Indian women in their 40s have made history by entering a prominent Hindu shrine in the southern state of Kerala, after months of protests against women getting in.
The Sabarimala temple was historically closed to women of “menstruating age” – defined as between 10 and 50.
The Supreme Court overturned that ban but protesters then attacked women and stopped them from entering the shrine.
