Banu Mushtaq wins the 2025 Booker Prize for 'Hridaya Deepa', a first for Kannada. Celebrated by Sudha Murthy, this marks a new chapter for Indian languages.

Banu Mushtaq Wins 2025 Booker Prize for Kannada Work

Banu Mushtaq makes history with 'Hridaya Deepa' winning the 2025 Booker Prize, a first for Kannada literature, lauded by Sudha Murthy for its global impact.

Sudha Murthy celebrates Kannada literature's global triumph

Banu Mushtaq's 'Hridaya Deepa' wins the 2025 Booker Prize, marking a first for Kannada literature. Sudha Murthy praises this historic triumph.

Infosys Foundation founder-chairperson Sudha Murthy on Wednesday said that Banu Mushtaq's Booker Prize 2025 -- the first for a book originally written in Kannada -- is a double win for every Kannadiga woman.
Writer, activist, and lawyer Mushtaq's short story collection &lsquo;Hridaya Deepa&rsquo; (Heart Lamp) on Tuesday night became the first Kannada title to win the coveted GBP 50,000 International Booker Prize in London.
"I feel extremely happy. As an Indian, I am happy. As a Kannada person, I am very happy. As an author, I am very happy. And as a woman, I am even happier. She is a great writer, and this is a great beginning. Let many people like her get the Booker Prize in different languages," Murthy told PTI Videos.
'Heart Lamp', translated by Deepa Bhasthi, was described as "a radical translation" that reshaped language and offered "new textures in a plurality of Englishes" by the jury of the Booker Prize.
Hailing from the Hassan district of Karnataka, Mushtaq often said in interviews that she wrote to challenge chauvinistic religious interpretations of societal rules.
Meanwhile, Karnataka's heartthrob, actor Namma Shivanna, aka Shiva Rajkumar, took to 'X' to convey his "heartfelt congratulations".
"Your achievement of introducing Kannada literature on a global scale and attracting the attention of the world is a great contribution to Kannada literature and cultural heritage. I hope that this honor will further strengthen the world of Kannada literature," said Shivanna.
Activist and actor Chetan Kumar Ahimsa, one of the key figures in pushing for equality and safety of women involved in the Kannada Film Industry, also posted his message for the author on 'X', noting that this recognition is a source of pride for Kannada and Karnataka.
During her acceptance speech, Bhasthi paid tribute to the Kannada language by quoting an iconic line from a Kannada song, made immortal by Kannada film legend Dr Rajkumar. "Jenin holeyo, halin maleyo, sudheyo, Kannada savi nudio", she said drawing a parallel between Kannada and a river of honey, a rain of milk, and sweet ambrosia.
"What a win this is for my beautiful language," Bhasthi added.
Not just Bhasthi, but Mushtaq's win--which comes 15 years after Aravind Adiga, another Kannadiga who won the Booker Prize for his 'White Tiger' in 2008-has made most Kannadigas beam with pride.
Many also felt that this is not just a win for Kannada literature, but for every Indian language writer dreaming of global recognition.

Sudha Murty backs India's three-language policy in education, while opposition MPs push for regional autonomy, sparking heated debate.

India's Three-Language Policy: A Heated Debate

In the ongoing controversy, Sudha Murty champions multilingual education under NEP, opposing Congress MPs defend regional language autonomy. Sparks fly over the BJP's policy intentions and Tamil Nadu's opposition to more expansive language learning.

Debate over India's three-language policy in education

The debate over India's three-language policy sees contrasting views from MPs, with Sudha Murty advocating for multilingual education and opposition figures defending regional language autonomy.

Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty has expressed her support for the three-language policy outlined in the National Education Policy (NEP), advocating for students to embrace multilingual learning.
Drawing from her personal experience, Murty shared, "I have always believed that one can learn multiple languages, and I myself know 7-8 languages. I enjoy learning, and I believe children can gain a lot from it."
This endorsement contrasts sharply with the stance of Congress MP Karti Chidambaram, who has criticized the Union Government over the same policy. Chidambaram argues that Tamil Nadu is adequately served by its two-language approach, comprising English and Tamil.
"English connects us with the world of commerce and science, and Tamil preserves our culture and identity. If anyone wants to learn a third language, it should be their choice. Forcing a third language upon us is unacceptable," he stated.
Adding to the opposition's concerns, Congress MP Jebi Mather remarked, "The BJP should realize that language is a sensitive emotional matter... Anything that damages people's sentiments should be avoided. Dharmendra Pradhan is causing unnecessary societal divisions. The opposition stands united for harmony, which is why we walked out of Parliament yesterday. The BJP's NEP (National Education Policy) has hidden agendas..."
In the Rajya Sabha, the Union Education Minister refuted claims that the government seeks to divide society through language policies, asserting that the administration, under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would never commit such a "sin."
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman also criticized the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) for its opposition to the three-language policy. She accused the DMK-led government in Tamil Nadu of creating a "political mess" and denying children their "right to learn" additional languages.
