There were movements in Karnataka when India got the hosting rights
As soon as India got the hosting rights, movements started in Karnataka. On one hand, feminist women said that such beauty contests are an attempt to humiliate a large number of women. Activists associated with the women's organization threatened that if this event took place, they would commit suicide.
On the other hand, some people said that such a program would put the culture and civilization of the society in danger. Describing Miss World as a program of capitalist forces, Karnataka Farmers Union President MD Najundaswamy said that if the organizers do not agree, the stage of the program will be set on fire. The protests became so extreme that the swimsuit competition, one of the Miss World competitions, was held in Seychelles instead of Bengaluru.
This is how there was protest against the Miss World contest in Bengaluru.
