See the RSS swayamsevaks and rightwing Hindus working? Incidently, this happened after amit shah visited that region
Terrorists seen destroying graves near Baba Budangiri shrine in Chikmagalore while chanting 'Jai Shri Ram'
Incidently, 2-3 days before this incident, Pratap Simha (Mysore MP) in his Facebook live video said, Amit shah had asked Yuva Morcha members to hold more aggressive protests, which would lead to “bursting of teargas and lathi-charges."
The Bababudangiri vs Dattapeetha (Baba Budan Vs Dathathreya) controversy has been going on since 1970s. This is not invention of BJP.
From Wikipedia;
The available history says that one Dada Hayath, his real name being Abdul Azeez Macci, considered to be a direct disciple of the Prophet, was sent to India in 11th century from Saudi Arabia to spread the message of Islam and peace, in true tradition of Sufism. In fact, Dada Hayath’s religious preaching did not target Hindus as a religious community. Rather, it targeted local landlords (palegars in local parlance) who were highly oppressive against the common masses. History says that the palegars did not tolerate the intervention of Dada Hayath into their domain, as his mission was about to affect their stronghold and dominance. On many occasions, they tried to eliminate him but failed.
According to some accounts, Dattatreya is a later phenomenon and it could develop a syncretic culture by synthesizing Shaivite, Vaishnavite and Sufi culture together. The people of the region believe that Bababudan is an incarnation of Dattatreya. Having a long history in Karnataka, the Dattatreya tradition – a part of Awadhut tradition, upholds the idea of a formless god, and condemns caste and sacrificial rituals performed by Brahmin priests. Also a long tradition of the Dattatreya and Sufism going hand in hand can be witnessed by the fact that Baba Budan and Dattatreya have become interchangeable.
