பெண்கள் விமானத்தை இயக்கினாலும், விண்வெளிக்கே சென்று வந்தாலும் அவர்கள் நுழைய முடியாத இடங்களாகக் கோயில் கருவறைகள் இருந்தன. பெண் கடவுளர்களுக்கான கோயில்களிலும் இதுவே நிலையாக இருந்தது.

ஆனால், அந்நிலை இனி இல்லை! அனைத்துச் சாதியினரும் அர்ச்சகர் ஆகலாம் எனப் பெரியாரின் நெஞ்சில் தைத்த முள்ளை நமது #திராவிடமாடல் ஆட்சி அகற்றியதில், கரு சுமக்கும் பெண்களும் இனிக் கருவறைக்குள்...

Despite women's achievements as pilots and astronauts, they were barred from the sacred role of temple priests, deemed impure, even in the temples for female deities. But change is finally here!

In Tamil Nadu, as our #DravidianModel Government has removed the thorn from Thanthai Periyar's heart by appointing people of all castes as priests, women are also now stepping into the sanctums, bringing a new era of inclusivity and equality.

Editorial context

Tamil Nadu Chief Minister M.K. Stalin hailed the historic appointment of qualified women as temple priests by the Hindu Religious and Charitable Endowments Department, ending centuries of gender discrimination at the sanctum sanctorum. Stalin observed that while women have achieved distinction as commercial pilots and space scientists, archaic social traditions historically barred them from performing sacred rituals, even within temples dedicated to female deities.

The Chief Minister declared that this transformative reform successfully removes the persistent thorn from the heart of social reformer Thanthai Periyar. Under the Dravidian Model governance, the state previously enacted policies appointing trained individuals of all castes as temple archakas, dismantling hereditary and caste monopolies. Stalin emphasized that extending this religious inclusivity to women candidates marks a monumental victory for gender equality, human dignity, and progressive social justice.

Stalin commended HR&CE Minister P.K. Sekarbabu and departmental officers for implementing comprehensive scriptural training programs in state-run archakar academies. He affirmed that Tamil Nadu temples now embody universal spiritual egalitarianism where merit and devotion prevail over discriminatory customs. The Chief Minister concluded that Tamil Nadu continues leading the nation toward progressive social emancipation.
