The dispute arose against the backdrop of celebration of the Muharram festival in the Hyderabad-Karnataka region, traditionally known for its communal harmony where Hindus and Muslims jointly celebrate festivals.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">In Tumkur, Muharram celebrations involve worship of the Hindu deity Kashimalli and a folk dance known as &lsquo;Alai Bhosai Kunitha,&rsquo; with active participation from various communities, including Dalits. Historically, members of the Madiga community were required to beat the <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><strong><em>halige <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">(a percussion instrument) during these celebrations. This tradition started to meet with resistance from the Madigas, as they felt that it advanced notions of untouchability. This led to communal tensions between upper caste Hindus and the Madiga community.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><br \/>\n \n <span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">The petitioner sought a writ of mandamus to direct local authorities to consider their positions to halt these public festivities to prevent further communal disharmony. In response, the Additional Government Advocate stated that under the prevailing conditions, it was inadvisable to proceed with the festivities.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">Justice Arun, while observing how a festival once celebrated with communal unity had become a source of division, remarked that human identity and national identity must transcend caste or community lines. Additionally, the court pointed out that while the state should support celebrations that foster unity and harmony, it also has a duty to recognize when they put communities at risk of violence. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\">Accordingly, the High Court disposed of the petition with directions to the local authorities to consider the Madiga community&rsquo;s representations and decide on the conduct of the celebrations after consulting all affected parties. <\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">It clarified, <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\"><strong><em>&ldquo;It is needless to state that, if the festivities are gone ahead with, no one can compel the Madiga community to beat the halige (a type of percussion instrument) and it is the duty of the State to give adequate protection for the participants.&rdquo; <\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \n \n \n <p dir=\"ltr\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#333333\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">Case Title: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/judiciary.karnataka.gov.in\/judgment_download.php?data=bU4wY1JFWW9EUkF3c1orY3Mwc1BHMmhWU2t6TzdiZHd3MnZRYmt4Unk0dz0=\" style=\"text-decoration-line:none\"><span style=\"font-size:14pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"color:#1155cc\"><span style=\"background-color:#ffffff\">MADIGA DANDORA v.
