Government ‘Secularising’ Dusshera, We Will Celebrate Our Own ‘Dharmic’ One: Yaduveer Wadiyar, Maharaja Of Mysuru
Facebook.
Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar, the Maharaja of Mysuru has made a statement about Dussehra that has taken everyone by surprise. A report by Vijay Karnataka, a local newspaper in the state quoted him as saying, “The Dussehra that the state government celebrates is a secular one, but what the palace observes is a ‘dharmic’ one.”
On the other hand, the Maharaja said that there is not going to be any changes seen in the way the royal family celebrates the festival, and he hopes to keep the tradition alive. He insisted that Mysuru has a track-record of being one of the cleanest cities in India, and that littering during the celebrations must be avoided as it can dirty the surroundings. With regard to the demands of the pourakarmikas (civic workers), he said that the government must ensure that the situation is dealt with and the problems are mitigated at the earliest.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
