Kashmir Observer
|MAY 22, 2025 ISSUE
Indian writer, lawyer and activist Banu Mushtaq on Tuesday won the International Booker Prize for her short story collection "Heart Lamp".
The 77-year-old is the first author of Kannada-language literature to receive the prestigious literary award for translated fiction.
"This moment feels like a thousand fire flies lighting a single sky -- brief, brilliant and utterly collective,” Mushtaq said at a ceremony at the Tate Modern gallery in London.
"I accept this great honour not as an individuals but as a voice raised in chorus with so many others.”
