    @ kujuma, kodial i agree with you, but this is NOT NORTH INDIA & we mangalorean's don't follow north Indian attitude, or culture whatever you said, don't say we are spinless we TAKE RESPECT & GIVE RESPECT + we are cool people but the new issue is our city is now groomed by mallus & elsewhere hence managlore is loosing its original culture.

    private bus lobby in twin districts is the worst. Partly because of the coward public of these districts. I am born and brought up in mlore and know that our public is spineless. I have lived in calcutta for 6 years and if this kind of incident happens there the bus driver and conductors will be hammered to death on the spot. So enjoy being cowards and keep mum on all these kind of atrocities. keep on crying for beef and love jihad and vote third rated saffron party again and again.
