The Mysuru Dasara Festival: A Celebration for All

• Banu Mushtaq, the International Booker Prize-winning Kannada writer and activist, inaugurated the historic Mysuru Dasara festival in Karnataka.

• The festival, which includes prayers at the Chamundeshwari temple, was a significant event, despite legal petitions and political backlash from the Congress government.

• Mushtaq’s participation in the ceremony was seen as a substantive gesture and an assertion of constitutional values.

• The festival, a melting pot of faiths, cultures, and pluralistic values, is more than just a Hindu religious observance; it is a celebration of spirituality, cultural identity, and democratic inclusion.

• The Supreme Court dismissed the petition against Mushtaq’s invitation, stating that the state cannot distinguish between A, B, or C religion.

• The government’s stance, asserting that the festival is not the preserve of any one religion, sends a message that consistent, principled governance is required to safeguard the rights of minorities and affirm their place in the national story.

• The festival was not a deviation from tradition, but a return to the best of India, a reminder that India has always been greater than the sum of its parts.
