Do you agree with the ruling to allow women into the Sabarimala temple?

Do you agree with the Indian Supreme Court's ruling to allow women into the Sabarimala temple?

One of the holiest Hindu temples in India will now have to let women in after India's Supreme Court ruled their previous rules which banned women of menstruating age entering violated gender equality. Do you agree with the Indian Supreme Court’s decision to allow women in the Sabarimala Temple? After that, Nihal will speak to comedian Romesh Ranganathan about his new book. Following that Nihal speaks to two daughters from a Muslim and Christian family who are featured in the BBC Radio 4 documentary called ‘Doorstep Daughter’.  Later, he’ll be joined by our weekly sports panel where they’ll be discussing the Asia Cup cricket final, the Ryder Cup and the spat between Mourinho and Pogba. Plus as part of BBC Music Day, Nihal will be talking to producer Naughty Boy and singer Esha Maria about whether it’s become easier for Asian women to break into the music industry.
