Sudha Murty, the chairman of Infosys Foundation, shared a video message on social media to celebrate the festival of Raksha Bandhan. In the video, she explains the historical origins of the festival and its significance, citing the story of Rani Karnavati and King Humayun. However, the video has failed to garner much attention from online users.
Murty's comments about the origins of the Rakhi tradition have prompted discussions and debates online. While some have praised her for shedding light on lesser-known historical events, others have criticized her for spreading a false narrative. The story of Rani Karnavati and Humayun's supposed involvement in the tradition has been called into question due to the lack of historical evidence.
