    People should stop going to temples that discriminate.
    Askl your relatives not to visit such temples.
    The temples which don't discriminate should put up a board saying "All are Welcome" and "Discrimination is not our belief".  
    Temples should be made specifically where Dalits are not prohobited. 
    Parallel temples should be built within Hinduism challenging this discriminating mentality. It won't be anything new.

    It's high time we need a strong wave of such a change.

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples.

I have been thinking recently about our state of temples. They have changed their forms from being cultural and binding factors to just business centres. mostly people who are visiting the temples are doing mechanical things. how can we revive the temples as discussion forums for arts, culture, social responsibilities from being just "transactional" in nature. there are satsangas being organized in the temples, but they just follow the bhakthi movement. how can we revive usage of sanskrit, learning of vedas, and then to create a more responsible generation than ours? ideas are welcome...
