Kolhapuri chappals: Priyank Kharge calls for skilling, market access for artisans
Karnataka rural development and panchayat raj minister Priyank Kharge on Sunday called for greater skilling and market access for the artisan communities and investments in design and branding of their products, stressing that getting a geographical indication tag alone won't be enough. Kharge's comment comes in the backdrop of the recent developments over the Kholapuri chappals, where Italian luxury fashion house Prada acknowledged, after initially giving no credit, that sandals featured in its latest summer collection were inspired by the traditional Indian footwear. The minister also pointed out that while these chappals are commonly associated with Maharashtra, a large number of the artisans who craft them hail from Karnataka. Very few people know where they truly come from, said Kharge, also the minister for information technology and biotechnology. Artisans from Athani, Nippani, Chikkodi, Raibag, and other parts of Belagavi, Bagalkot and Dharwad in Karnataka have been making these chappals for generations. They have traditionally sold them in nearby towns, especially Kolhapur, which eventually became the default market, and over time, the brand, he said. 'We saw how Maharashtra was pushing for sole GI tag rights over Kolhapuris and through LIDKAR (a Karnataka government subsidiary), we contested this and fought to ensure the state's artisans were not left out,' Kharge wrote on microblogging site X. Live Events The GI tag was granted jointly to four districts each in Karnataka and Maharashtra. 'This was never about a contest between the two states but about preserving our shared heritage and giving our artisans the legal recognition they deserve,' he said. 'When international fashion houses adopt our designs, it is our artisans whose names, work, and legacy must be showcased — not sidelined,' he added. While Prada has acknowledged the Indian roots of the design and signalled openness to artisan collaboration , Kharge said the artisans don't just deserve credit. They deserve better prices, wider exposure, and the chance to build lasting, dignified livelihoods from their craft, he said.

Prada's Rs 1.2-lakh Kolhapuri chappals spark row, Priyank Kharge calls for global platforms for artisans
After Kholapuri chappals recently went viral at the Italian luxury fashion house Prada's summer collection, Karnataka Minister for Rural Development, Panchayat Raj and IT-BT, Priyank Kharge , highlighted that GI tag recognition isn't enough and cultural entrepreneurship is needed. Kharge on Sunday also pointed out that while the chappals are commonly associated with Maharashtra, a large share of the artisans who craft them hail from Karnataka, sharing the tag. The minister said that with the sandals being priced at Rs 1.2 lakh, very few people know where they truly come from.

MotoGP: Aprilia ready for courtroom showdown with champion Jorge Martin over contract
MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin's bid to escape his Aprilia contract looks set for a date in the courtroom, with the Italian manufacturer's boss Massimo Rivola declaring on Sunday that they are 'relaxed' about dragging the dispute before a judge. The simmering contract drama boiled over last month when Martin announced his intention to leave Aprilia ahead of the 2026 season, barely a week after the team insisted he honour the two-year agreement he had signed. The 27-year-old, who has raced in only one round this season due to injuries in a pre-season crash and at the Qatar Grand Prix, said he had exercised his right to release himself for the 2026 season. His manager, Albert Valera, had also said Martin is free of his contract for next year, having triggered a clause, but Rivola said that was not the case. 'I think he's not going to be free for 2026,' Rivola told TNT Sports at the Dutch Grand Prix. 'In case we have to go to the court, the judge will take his position, but we are quite, I say, relaxed about that.' The dispute has also caught the attention of MotoGP organiser Dorna Sports, who took a firm stance on rider movement. Dorna CEO Carmelo Ezpeleta said they would not accept any rider entry unless a judge clears them to ride or both parties reach an agreement. 'Now Aprilia says it has a contract in place with Martin while his manager, Valera, says he is free,' Ezpeleta told Sky Italia. 'For us to accept that, there is a need either for the two parties to come to an agreement or for a judge to decide the case.' ALSO READ | Marquez records ninth sprint victory of season With Ducati out of the picture after they snubbed Martin last year, Honda may be an option, but the Japanese outfit's manager Alberto Puig said they will not get involved until Martin reaches an agreement with Aprilia. 'We can wait. Frankly speaking, it's a matter between Aprilia and Jorge,' he said. 'It must be clear. If he gets out of the contract, then we will understand. We are not in a super hurry. We will see what is the final resolution there.' Meanwhile, Martin's physical recovery continues with Rivola revealing the Spaniard will run a test in Misano on July 9, targeting a return at the Czech Grand Prix in mid-July. 'Having one race before the (summer) break would be good, so mentally. Physically, he starts getting a bit of rhythm, and then he knows that he has to push... Then to get the result will be a second step,' he said. Related Topics Jorge Martin / MotoGP
