Excerpted from a recent book titled ‘The Way I See It: A Gauri Lankesh Reader’ (Navayana and DC Books).
Such amazing things happened over the two weeks when we organized communal harmony meetings at Chikmagalur and Bababudangiri, and called upon people to stop Karnataka from becoming another Gujarat and Bababudangiri from being turned into Ayodhya by the saffron brigade… I am confused about where to even begin!
