Why is the International Prize winner in India in the political number at the Center for the Political Center?

The International Booker Prize, which won the Ban Mushtak, was in the midst of the dispute after it was invited to a solemn place in the famous festival in the South Indian state of Karnatak.

Last week, the Congress of the State announced that Myshki – who won the prize earlier this year for his anthology of the story, “Heart Lamp” – would have opened the solemn events of Mysuru Dasara in Mozura (formerly called Mysore).

Mysuru Dasara, also called Naado Habba (which is approximately translated into the Earth Festival in Canada), is an annual 10-day event that has been celebrated for decades.

Thousands of people flock into the city to participate in big festivities, including cultural performances, elephants, exhibitions and fireworks.

The decision to invite the mushtan caused criticism of some Bharati Party leaders (BJP), which is in opposition in the state – who said that the Muslim, born in Karnatak, should not open the Hindu festival.

Dussyra is a Hindu festival that marks the victory of the good over evil, but Missur Dasar is conducted by the Karnataka government, and people of all religions join the festivities.

Meshka said she was honored to invite her to the festival and that she felt deeply related to her, participating in her childhood festive events.

But despite her expressing respect for the festival, the dispute refused to die.

Some BJP leaders have also been offended by some of the preliminary comments of the Banu, related to the Hindu goddess Bhuwanwar, who is considered to be the language and identity of the Kannada.

Muscovy went down in history earlier this year, when she became the first author to write in Canada to win an international booker.

Her awarded book, Heart Lamp, which was translated into English by Dip Bhadost, was evaluated by the judges for demonstrating heroes who were “strange portraits of survival and sustainability”.

The stories of the Mushtak, including in Heart Lamp, focus on the problems that women, especially Muslim women, face -religious conservatism and deeply patriarchal society.

Interestingly, she is not the first Muslim person who was invited to open the Mysuru Dasara festival. In 2017, K.S. Nisso Ahmed, poet and author of Kannada, received honor.

But the invitation to the Muscovy was under close attention from BJP.

BJP MP Vadiar acknowledged the influence of the mushtak on the writing of Kannada, saying that her victory Booker had brought a “great honor” to the literary fraternity of Canada.

However, he added that the Mysuru Dasara festival was not a cultural event, and the Hindu Religious Festival and demanded that the warfare “clarify its veneration” to the two Hindu diets related to the festival before agreeing with it.

BJP leader Protap Simha said that at a time when the chairman of the Literary Festivals, Chairman, It was unacceptable for her Be the main guest at an event such as Mysuru Dasara. He also asked if he believed in the goddess of the festival and when she adhered to Hindu traditions.

Against the backdrop of criticism, a video of the speech, posted by the man last January, began to spread on the Internet.

In her speech, she questioned the practice of the Bhuvaneshwari Association with the language and identity of the Kannada, noting that it is an exception to her and other Muslims in the state.

The warrior is not the first author to see this blurry of identities through a critical lens. Many progressive writers from the state criticized what they call the “induction” of language and identity of Kannada.

Proponents of the invitation to the masters say that the line goes not only about its religious identity, but also that it is a greater battle between the preservation of one of the largest state festivals open and hospitable for all religions and transforming it into a major.

“Mysuru Dasara is a secular festival and invites the banana to the opening is one of the best things that can happen to the Karnatak. Turning it into a problem about religion or the Hindu nationalist agenda),” says Mamta Sagar, the poet of Canada.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Minister Karnataki D.K. Shivakuma defended his government’s decision to invite the man, emphasizing the inclusive nature of the festival.

The warrior also did not bow the pressure to refuse the invitation.

“Active politicians should feel what to politicize and what to do,” she said the Hindu newspaper.
