Whether or not it’s operating instructional and medical establishments, partaking in charity and improvement 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 tons of of mathas, representing the various castes and sub-castes. Politically important amongst them are Lingayats, Vokkaligas and Kurubas.
Over time, Karnataka has seen a rising interdependence between politicians and pontiffs. Right this moment, these religious 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 means of budgetary grants.
However how did these mathas and their pontiffs acquire followers and clout to develop 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.
