    Just wait for 2 more Republic Day celebrations. In 2025 India will show-case a true Republic Day Tableau parade which is secular under the leadership of most abled Shri Rahul Gandiji. Just 2 years! The whole world will be awestruck at Rahul's approach in showcasing how secular and tolerant India is.

    This is all political gimmick. Brahmashri Narayana Guru Swamy is unique and nobody can lower his status by any means.

    The Republic Day had other grand spectacles. The display of our armed forces, airforces was overwhelming. Nobody even noticed the Tableau. It just passed by. It was only after I read this article did I realise that something was 'excluded' . Guys its not an issue at all. Being a Billava , I am least bothered. I dont understand why these people are so adamant and end up making a laughing stock of themselves.

    Our city mangalore is not developing due to such reasons. I have recently visited most of the places in Karnataka. Even smaller cities than mangalore are overtaking in terms of developments and most of the people here are still busy reading history books.

    A protest? Seriously? Congress has not learnt any lesson in spite of people leaving the party over the last few years. The average congress worker is not sure who the leader is. The family run business is taking its toll. Each state must have an elected president. Elections have not taken place is decades and all posts are filled by the family selection process. Its time the party starts electing its reps from the bottom upwards.

    The involvement of Mr, Lobo and Mr, Ivan in this scenario defies logic. Why are they here ? Above all why is Congress as a party involved in this so called 'protest'? Its their headache.

    Let the Billavas or Hindus sort it out among themselves or whatever. Nobody else has an issue with this. Please dont politicise this. We have got other burning issues where your intervention is required, if you are really serious.

    Dont drag Congress 'party ' into this issue. Its just absurd. Mr, Poojari till last week was praising Modi to the skies. Does he want to contest again? Republic Day celebrations have finished. No use anymore, than being a laughing stock.

    This is totally politically motivate. Republic day is for India and representation should culture of state not religion. How a state can represent in RD parade with one community? Just we want to make noise for no reason. People should have better things to do.

    Dear Sompa Salli, Don't comment for the sake of it..... The UP tableau is about Kashi Viswanath Temple, Gujarat tableau is about tribal warrior Motilal Tejawat...... Does these tableaus represent the culture of the entire state and all the people of the state..... The problem with Mangaloreans as I stated earlier is that they are communalised to the extent that they view things through their communally tinted spectacles and identify every individual with their Religion / Caste / Community etc.... For Keralites, Narayana Guru is a reformist held in high esteem by people of all religions / communities for his egalitarian philosophies during a time when Kerala was suffering from the feudal and caste system perpetrated by the upper caste..... For us, he is not just a Ezhava Guru..... much more than that...... BJP played because it is a opposition state, we gave them back the dose of their own medicine..... It is quite natural for you to feel hurt being a BJP supporter..... Buy Burnol from Jan Aushadi Kendra

    Dear Naresh I know exactly what I am saying. I also belong to same community. As you rightly said we look in our own angle and apply it for the entire episode as a whole. Above was my opinion which you labelled with your view. However about other states representing the tableau yes its belongs to state. Representing Krishna temple, Attoor Chruch etc., or any famous places of Karnataka no matter which religion it belongs is fine. Koti Chennaya, Yakshagana, Kambala this also makes sense. Why a personality other than Udupi Mangalore people no one knows. Hope you understand what I am trying to say.

    It would have been a good platform to launch some new young dynamic leaders , to lead the protest. With these ousted and outdated leaders, I dont think it would hold any weight. The question on how Congress leaders have suddenly overnight become the followers of Shri Narayana Guru is also a question mark.
