    It is good to see great people of Udupi coming together to celebrate each others' festivals.
    It is also nice to see the absence of politicians who may instigate false divide for their benefits.
    Let us continue to live in harmony and peace with each other.

    Jossey,

    That is why politics is always a mile away from religion. Only BJP used religion as a strong weapon to get votes and to rename my Hindustan as "COWSTAN".
