Minister in charge of Mysuru district H.C. Mahadevappa inaugurated a Mushaira or Urdu poetry rendition programme in Mysuru on Thursday evening as part of the on-going Dasara festivities.
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Mahadevappa contended that language, which facilitates communication between human beings, cannot be viewed from the prism of religion or caste.
Pointing out that language reflects a community’s cultural background and history, Mr. Mahadevappa said cultural programmes like Mushaira can also serve to help remove the casteist and religious prejudices that were prevailing in the society.
