This issue has been made out of proportion purely for political purposes. They were not allowed into the temples because of their christian lineage and not because of the fact that they were untouchables. Even today famous singer Yesudas is not allowed to go into Guruvayyur temple not because he is a dalit but because he is a christian.
Mr Ravi should not try to divide the country for his own political gains. It is very sad that people like Mr Ravi that the country is torn apart.
Please for Gods sake restrain from making such damaging statements.

The Brahmins did not create caste system. You have no knowledge of history. The caste system evolved by itself depending the nature of work one was carrying out at that time. God did not create Brahmins first, khstriya next Sudras, last. Do not argue with half knowledge that suits you.
