Vayalar Ravi need not have invoked his caste as the reason for the cleansing ceremony. Millions of Ezhava Hindus have had their feeding ceremony and other worships there. No complaints of any untouchability practice. The conservative priests might have factored the Christian connection of Ravi's family, for the punyaham. I don't think otherwise the Temple top brass would have annoyed a Central Minister and his family. Anyway, this will change with time. But no keralite takes this as an insult to Ezhavas; it is a rare case and it is praiseworthy that Ravi brought up his children strictly under the Hindu Culture. He should not feel hurt in this. There is sympathy for him and the tantris need to answer the rationale of their decision, with solid proof, some day.

Are you suggesting that as long as Hindu Ravi had done a great job by raising his children as Hindu and you seem to justify the humiliation felt by hi poor wife who helped him raise his children as Hindus?
