She was like my mother, the last rites of a Hindu woman professor performed by a Muslim MP

Bangalore, May 21, 2021

In many places during the Corona period, there have been cases of Hindu youth being cremated by Muslim youth. In this connection, another example of communal unity has been seen in Karnataka.

A Brahmin professor died here on May 5 in Corona.

Professor Savitri Vishwanath, an 80-year-old researcher on Japanese language, history and politics, was a former professor at Delhi University. After retirement, he lived in Bangalore. MP Hussain said, "Savitri was like my mother. Her family lives abroad." When Savitri died, no one from her family could come, so I did my duty as her son. Savitri was divorced from her husband and they had no children.

MP Syed Nasir Hussain performed the rest of the rites after his funeral, as the priests said. He is also hospitalized and his condition is serious.
