Use of Ganesh Idol in Protests Sparks Heated Debate

Warangal: A few people who benefit from ongoing Ganesha Navaratri celebrations use Ganesha idols as a protest symbol to emphasize their problems. While some people appreciate the new way of protest, others criticize the use of religious symbols in demonstrations.

Kundoju Lavan Kumar from Dornakal in the Mahbabad region organized a protest from Dornakal in the Panbubabad region using a Ganesha idol made of banners and urged elected representatives and officials to address long -term problems in the election regions. The establishment of new intermediate and degree colleges, the construction of a 100 -bed hospital, a special vegetable market, the maintenance of appropriate sanitation and the launch of new roads, and stray dogs, including measures to reduce the threat of monkeys and pigs listed the demands of the banners.

Lavan Kuma organized a protest with banners at all critical intersections in Dornakal town and attracted people’s attention. Various parts of people greatly appreciated the creative protest.

However, in the Manthani Assembly segment, a protest by BRS leaders with a Ganesha idol created anger and brought great criticism among people. Under the leadership of the former Mla Putta Madhukar, a protest was placed in the middle of the road in Manthani town to demand sufficient urea supply to farmers. Moreover, after the completion of the protests, BRS activists left Lord Ganesha Idol on the main roadside near the old gasoline bunk bed, which brought a lot of criticism among people. By expressing anger in the incident, the actors say that the action is disrespectful and damaging religious emotions.

Two protests offered a compelling look at the use of religious images in public demonstrations. Lavan Kumar’s creative protest in Dornakal was applauded as an effective way to raise awareness on social issues, while the protest in Manthani led to a violent debate, emphasizing the insecure balance between a cultural symbol for a reason and emphasizing the precarious balance between the risk of determining it.
