Explanation
The International Booker Prize 2025 was awarded to the book Heart Lamp, a collection of short stories originally written in Kannada. The prize is shared equally between the author and the translator. The winners were author Banu Mushtaq and translator Deepa Bhasthi. This win was historic as it marked the first time a short story collection won the award and the first time a work translated from Kannada was honored. The £50,000 prize money is divided equally to recognize the joint contribution of both the author and the translator. Banu Mushtaq is a prominent Kannada writer and activist, while Deepa Bhasthi is a renowned literary translator and journalist. Sanjay Chauhan, a noted screenwriter, was not a recipient of this award.
