Whether or not it’s operating academic and medical establishments, participating in charity and growth works or endorsing candidates and lobbying for ministerial berths, mathas or mutts are establishments peculiar to the state of Karnataka.
The State is house to lots of of mathas, representing the various castes and sub-castes. Politically vital amongst them are Lingayats, Vokkaligas and Kurubas.
Through the years, Karnataka has seen a rising interdependence between politicians and pontiffs. As we speak, these non secular and spiritual establishments may even make or break a candidate’s electoral fortunes.
Successive governments have additionally supported the mathas, whether or not by affiliation of high-profile leaders, allocation of land or by way of budgetary grants.
However how did these mathas and their pontiffs achieve followers and clout to change into so essential to Karnataka’s political panorama? How has this affected the State’s electoral and id politics?
We converse to Janaki Nair, a Bengaluru-based historian and retired professor, Centre for Historic Research, JNU.
