    Whichever may be the religion or sect these people belong to, the seeds are being permanently sown for Mangalore city to be stamped as a communal hotbed!! Even before things are trying to improve on the socio-economic front, we are giving wrong signals to the future investors and foreigners.

    Every other week there are such incidents and the cycle is vicious and ends in a brutal murder after which climax, there is a bundh announced and the city goes into total disarray for a few days thus making huge losses to the general population and the economy as a whole.

    This cannot be expected in such a small city which has just started its growth path!! It is high time that ordinary citizens ignore these incidents and continue with their daily life and the media too not give more media publicity as that is what these antisocial and despot-type elements agenda is! Hope better sense will prevail amongst these elements, and peace and tranquility rule this beautiful city once again!

    Dear all, pls do not comment on targetting any other religion.If you do so you are a total illiterate and senseless person. Religion does not give you food or shelter. Its just a medium to live in the society like a human beings. Those who misuse this religion are nothing short of animals...and they will get their reward one fine day. SO LETS BE HUMAN BEINGS RATHER THAN HINDU,CHRISTIAN OR MUSLIMS.

    The hatred has been sowed in the young and teenage mind against each other by claiming they are the saviour of the society and the result is vengeance to each. Their goal is only one thing, greed for power which the common man will not understand. Please do not communalize any issues unless you go through it.

    Sometimes even in the comments some vested interests change their names and ignite fire against each other which should be watched. It seems that political or personal rivalry rather than any other. The religious fanatic organisaton today are shaken due to mass media and most of the young generation prefers to sit at home and watch TV.

    The only way to keep the members and community on fire is nothing but to create situations, tensions and enemity. The Coastal Karnataka will not burn no matter who sow hatred because people are quite wise. Today majority of people do not like their own religious fanatic group. Dear Mr. Vishal, the way you have written shows you have hidden your true identity. Please do not communalize any issues. The real facts are always bitter and painful. Let us all strive for unity.

    i second your thoughts ,darryl. Hindus are always peace loving people.I too have lots of Hindu freinds .I  see the recent incidents,it is the Hindus who are being attacked in BC road. The culprits are still not caught. why is the BJP govt not gieving protection to the Hindu leaders inspite of threats to them?

    As on of the views suggested,it could have been engineered by some anti national forces to make a rift with the other wise peaceful & communal harmony prevailing with Hindus, I have so many friends and they really respect your religion, but if you put yourself in thier shoes you will be able to appreciate thier feelings better, I am still a strong believer of the fact that Hinduism is the culture of India.

    Criminals, Goondas(irrespective of religion),hatred mongers- arent you all a shameless class. How can you keep your head straight and call your selves Indians? shame on you! We people of all religions have lived peacefully in our regions and would continue to live so.

    Majority community comprising of Hindu bretheren are wonderful friends and take part in social development. Lets not encourage these hatred mongers at a time we want to develop our country and provide better future for our children and India in general. Hinduism has evolved over more than 2000 years and will continue to do so irrespective of hatred mongers and will be enriched continuously.

     Fundamentalist units are shameless( of all religions) as they misuse the money meant for social development. Help thy neighbour should be the mantra of all religions!

    People are not interested to read the actual news here, instead they are concentrating on some others comments. That is why status of India is like this. So i'm at centre stage now, better if you comment on my comment at least i'll get publicity. I know everything even about Orisaa , J&K , Bihar & also Maharashtra. Please go to actual news here if you are really like to read news, don't bother about my comment. It's my personal view as I know.

    Only people with no sense can blame other religion, but some are different coz they want to build their own religion and worship. Majority of Hindu's still want to achive peace & honours. and minorities should support them because we are Indians.

    Hello Vishal please do not create communal tension among the people. Are you associated with any political party or are you a politician? Real Christians are known for peace and harmony. Do not forget that you are human being .Please recognize diversity in its broadest sense, including race, gender, age, class, religion or culture, difference of ability, education or economic positions. Think twice while giving your comments.

    Dear Vishal, do you call Sharan Pumpwell, a Hindu activist as a Bangladeshi? who recently claimed the responsibility for damaging the grotto on Pacchanady Hillock. So how third party could take advantages, yes I agree with you Christians should be very careful as Sangh parivar consciously attacking them.

    This is a result of poor justice system, dirty politics and a cowardice police force. Of course police is very brave infront of poor and helpless. People are taking law into their own hands. Soon we might celebrate complete independence from all the authorites.

    Mangalore is filled with anti national forces ,Bangladeshis & those people making efforts to take advantage of the situation & efforts have been made so that Christians turn against Hindus. Definitely a third party takes advantage here. So Christians should be very careful.
