    Eid Mubarak. Hope to see this spirit at Deepavli and Christmas time also. When I was growing up I could watch the pictures and symbols of different religions put together and mounted on the walls of hair cutting salons, in buses near the driver's cabin and grocery shops and restaurants. Now that is changing. The people with survadhrma sadbhva must patronize such places if exist today in a big way. That will be a new dawn of communal harmony in Mangalore. AAP is the only party which encourages people of all religions to come together for peace and harmony.
