The Travancore Devaswom Board in Kerala recently recruited 36 non-Brahmin priests which included six Dalits, and the news was trending all over as it was a very impressive move by the board. It was talked about for quite a few days because it was the first time in history that such progress had been made.
Kamal Haasan took to Twitter to express his happiness over this decision as he tweeted, "Bravo Travancore Dewasom board.Salute to Kerala CM Mr. Pinarayi Vijayan.4 appointing 36 non-Brahmin priests. Periyar's dream realized". This decision came after the cases of temple priests fighting the management over caste discrimination.
We wish that more such bold decisions will be taken in the future in all committees to demolish caste discrimination.
