pray at one of india's most sacred hindu shrines. that temple almost half the world's population is not 12 come. to be a good thing guarding a t.s.r. the. women aged between 10 and 50 are considered impure by the hardline hindu men who come here to worship. they are not minus and are not attended a part of the order of what it was called and there are. some female to go to these have had enough

a i didn't do it when i was you know oh thank you thank you thank you but you know i think other things. yes of. all the cold just the thought of it all over the top. women of menstruating age have for decades been forbidden from entering the shrine. i fall right in the middle of this age group and i'm not welcome. that's because many hindus believe menstruation makes women impure. plus a bit of it tonight i'm heading to the temple to find out why this has become such a volatile issue. some of them some pretty stuff. some of them believe that. there's going to. security is tight we must pass through several checkpoints almost 600 police officers are stationed here one of their main jobs is to make sure women don't enter the shrine. this police officer is stopping a woman to ensure she doesn't try. to cut. the woman's husband stops us from filming. near the temple entrance i meet us we need a one of lord most odan to follow was. going to ask. what is the police checking all about because of you. i got to go any further if you know and what would you do if i decided to come with you. and with that is only a bit of a deal but what prevents me from going then they leave to their god willing we need a big to do through dangerous so maybe. i am not allowed to go any further. inspired by lord. when he has chosen to live a life of celibacy. steered us army your god you know become a little. time with 3 about it but i'm not a witch and go to go but in the uk there are a lot of 4 inversions arma. deliberate of your my position ask for the end of the wording yeah i can win or to one side because of. those who defy this tradition incur the wrath of the faithful and even the highest court in india cannot shake their beliefs after years of legal battles in september 2018 the supreme court lifted the ban on women entering the temple finding it a discriminatory practice. in the months that followed around 15 women try to exercise their new found rights but still they were stopped from entering the shrine prompting millions of defiant women to take to the streets forming a human chain in the name of gender equality. in the wake of shabby lakhs of women from across garret are gathering to form a 620 kilometer state sponsored women's walk. but the doors of the shrine remained closed to women. undeterred no professor been do a mini and her friend. set out to try one small. and then lot of night to live i'm going to assume. that a lot of me too. ok enough of the boy able the lot of fostered an american member. get it done a little bit in the book. about it not

the motherly. a male friend filmed the 2 women entering the shop or you might not temple. i lucked out with my new looks about history on aleutian arnold and another to the canonical albert albert out of the sin of those are you do are they on the most of it in the full of doubt evil which is a lit up with a not at the best well it is either learn about the minimum coverage given the want to go on with. the police try to get them to leave the shrine after just a few minutes. even though what the women were doing was perfectly legal the police were aware of the danger. that. the little boy. was a hero to your daughter there are 2 of them. because. a few seconds was all it took for bindu and coming to make history becoming the 1st women to enter the forbidden temple since the supreme court decision. you know you want to show seal and legal and i'm all i'm going to allow medical in be on one of the met the but i am not a gender i'm just as establishing that indeed the walking wounded who died down and then it kind of got them up only to get out and do whatever you want to buy. but bindu is proud moment in the bridge hindu hardliner as violence spilled onto the streets leading to thousands of arrests and the do. the protester. and forbidden do it's come at great personal cost mounting death threats forcing her to leave her family and go into hiding. what is that. they look

of. them while the other 2 knew the mob was on me to give them the older and help them as some would do him you have met some of the never really denoted gollum on a mensa scarlet others are going to because i think if. you talk about women being powerful and people praying to them as goddesses yet you don't allow them into your temple. there are moments of all that in. fear that it would have all of them are mothers. who should know what ever to come out of the what a good number they are. someone in the love of them streamer the good you pour if he 1st did you get in on the brown or. that i'm not to you that i'm that i'm very loose in a moment ya go with a star we love you so what about. whatever they love us i wonder when they get enough of that down to us when he is not alone in his
