💨 Abstract

Despite calls to cancel due to border tensions with Pakistan, the Miss World pageant began in Hyderabad, Telangana, with 110 global contestants. The event, hosted by the Congress government, faces criticism from groups like the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP) and opposition politicians who argue that it diverts resources from border security. The festival, reduced in fanfare and lacking a grand gala dinner, will feature cultural events and the grand finale on May 31.
