• Dussehra is celebrated as the biggest Hindu festival in Karnataka

Pramod Muthalik, the National President of the Sri Ram Sene

Dharwad (Karnataka) – Pramod Muthalik, the national president of the Sri Ram Sena, has accused Christian educational institutions of violating Dussehra holiday. While the Dussehra holiday has been officially declared in Karnataka, these institutions have scheduled exams during the time when families perform rituals at home. Muthalik expressed his anger, stating that this reflects their tendency to insult, disrespect, and disregard Hindu culture.

Muthalik said that Christian educational institutions have consistently been neglecting nationalism and Indian traditions. Their schools don’t allow Hindu girls to wear bangles, kumkum, or anklets. He added that they have now also violated Government orders. Muthalik demanded that the Government take action against such schools.
