    All those Sene's Vedike etc... instead of creating tensions in the peace living society kindly go to the border and fight for the nation. That is much worth.

    Government must make NCC compulsory in all the colleges.

    I think there is no time for Mangalurean to attend such meaningful memorial event instead of "entertainment/boosting/boozing/protesting" events.

    I salute those who fought for our country and liberation of other country.

    Very Well said Mr. Hussain. People don't have time to go to functions like this. Even I don't see any politicians here. Why?? Because you cannot give big big speeches here. And you cant even boast about you & your party. Functions like this should made in large scale, with students, teachers,lectures, professors,social reformers, freedom fighters, retired military soldiers & officers all should be called and spread the message of 'PATRIOTISM'.
