    This is Mangalore! we are all want to be united, unity in diversity is the core value of Mangaloreans. Be it Hindu, Muslim or Christian all wants to live in peace and helping each other. A humble request to these political parties and affiliates " please don't bring politics in between the religion and divide the people just to attract votes" We want to live like this for ever.....we all one...Salute to all my christian brothers & sisters.....

    Hats off to my Christian and Muslim brothers.
    As a Hindu I am indebted by your generosity and hope my hindu brothers will remember and reciprocate at appropriate time.
    This is the "ooru" I remember growing up. This gives me hope of harmony for my next generation to come.

    We live in a society. Give and take is the policy adopted by many. Politicians are playing with the sentiments of the people. Actually all religions are equal and praying to one God by different names. It is nice to see Christians and Muslims are participating in the Paryaya. May the God bless all the people in this world.

    Its great to see that the organisation IFKCA, led by none other than Mr. Ronald Colaco has taken this great initiative in showing our solidarity with our Hindu brethren.
    At the end of the day, there is no religion greater than Humanity. Our faiths may differ but the blood that runs in everybody's veins is of the same colour....

    Definitely this news must have reached abroad to the global media.
    Unity in diversity is strength of India.
    Hostile countries and divisive forces knew Indians bond in unity.
    They also know that religious division alone can break unity among Indians.
    Surely such countries will manipulate and use gullible leaders to divide Indians in religious lines.
