Abstract

The article discusses the controversy surrounding the invitation extended to Booker Prize winner Banu Mushtaq to inaugurate the Dussehra festivities in Mysuru, Karnataka. Former Congress minister Tanveer Sait defended the decision, highlighting the historical significance of the festival and the inclusivity of past inaugurators, regardless of their caste or religion. In contrast, former minister K.S. Eshwarappa expressed concerns about the need for Mushtaq to perform prayers to Goddess Chamundeshwari before the inauguration, suggesting that failing to do so would insult Hindus. Chief Minister Siddaramaiah emphasized Mushtaq's achievements and the importance of her recognition as a woman writer from Karnataka. [Extracted from the article]
