In a breakthrough move, M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, announced that all genders can now become priests at temples. This decision was made after a mulla (a type of conch) was found in Periyar’s heart, symbolizing the breaking of traditional barriers. This move has been widely praised by the DMK party.

In a groundbreaking announcement today, M.K. Stalin, the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu, declared that all women, regardless of their caste or social status, will be eligible to serve as priests in temples across the state. This move comes after a historic decision by the state government to overturn the age-old tradition that only men could hold such positions.
Stalin made the announcement during a press conference, stating, “In our efforts to create a more inclusive society, we believe it is essential to ensure equal opportunities for all. By allowing women to become priests, we are not only empowering them but also breaking barriers that have existed for centuries.”
The decision has been met with both praise and criticism from various quarters. Supporters argue that this move will promote gender equality and provide women with a platform to exercise their religious beliefs. They believe it is a significant step towards dismantling patriarchal norms in society.
However, critics argue that this decision goes against longstanding customs and traditions. They fear that it may lead to a dilution of religious practices and disrupt the sanctity of temples. Some also express concerns about the potential backlash from conservative groups who may oppose this change.
The Tamil Nadu government has assured the public that necessary training and support will be provided to women interested in becoming priests. They aim to implement this change gradually, starting with a few selected temples before expanding it statewide.
As the news spreads, it has sparked a nationwide conversation about gender equality, religious practices, and the role of women in traditionally male-dominated spaces. Time will tell how this decision unfolds and its impact on society as a whole..
