    I wish all success to the members of ''Sangama Kalavidaru'' and artistes of their drama. When i read the news, the voice and face of our departed friend, Umesh Nanthur flashed through my mind. He strived for the renewal of coastal unity and progress of our languages beyond religious and cultural devoids. When i saw the photograhers i felt that his dream is realised as i was happy to observe artistes from different communities there. Kudos and keep up your spirit, we must collectively take a vow to include ''Tulu'' in the 8th schedule of our constitution by this year end.

    My best wishes to dear Vishwanath and his team. I am sure this will be a good start for "Vishwa Tulu Sammelana" from this part of the world. "Sangama Kalavidaru" is a platform for many Tulu Artists in UAE for exhibiting their talents in front of a large Tulu audience. Thanks to Daiji for the coverage.
