In an outrageous video which has been making rounds on social media, a Dalit woman can be seen forced out of a temple by few people who are alleged to be the temple authorities. In the video, the woman can be seen refusing to leave the temple even after the others insist her to do so.
The people can be heard saying that they don’t visit ‘their’ (the caste that the woman belongs to) temple, and thus she should not interfere in the matters of temple run by the caste Hindus.
The temple is 35 km away from Pondicherry. However, when The Hindu contacted Arun Prakash, president, Sri Draupadiamman Alayam and Sri Kamatchi Sameta Boodanadheeswarar Temple Board, he denied the allegation and said that he was not present in the temple when the incident happened.
