Good Luck Mr.Tirumala. I am in USA at the moment and I agree Mangalore ( my hometown too ) is a lovely place to live. Democratic and secular. It is the Media , primarily to blame for whipping up communal imbalance. Mangalore is a much much safer place for all religion and women in particular compared the lawless Delhi whom politicians claim to be secular.....NDTV please note..
Hey Rediff, we want you to follow up with such good stories and also report on what happened after elections. We will be interested to know how they did..! BTW, thank you for covering this one. I wish Mr. Tirumala all the very best for the elections.
Hello Sir, what you say ("We need to tell the people that religion comes later and it is humanity first.") is true, it is against Islam. Islam is all encompassing guide to life and you cannot change that.

How much you know about Islam ? Stop putting Indian muslims to RSS invented patriotism tests. If someone drives a good car badly, nobody blames the car. But when a muslim does some evil,suddenly everyone starts commenting on Islam, Why? Everytime for individual acts, why Islam is questioned. As far as patriotism is concerned, please remember that we can love one, without neccessarily hating the other. All of us love our mothers. Once we are married, we start loving our wife. But it doesnt mean we start hating our mother. And our wife will be very wrong if she says that I will believe that you love me only if you shun your mother.

Mr.Samba... It's completely wrong... Religion comes first for Hindus then automatically humanity will follow... Why people are not preaching other religion but only for Hindus to respect humanity. For your information, only Hindus follows Humanity with Religion but for others other way ! Am I right ? What an Idea sirji...
Example - Alarming 5 fold increase in Kandhamal Christian population from six per cent in 1971 to 27 per cent in 2001 ,It began with the arrival of Christian missionaries in the area who found the remote region very conducive to conduct prosetylization amongst the poor tribals. The conversions continued unhindered until the arrival of Swami Laxmanananda who put strenuous efforts to stop conversions and help reconversion to Hinduism as well. If not for his effort Kandhamal would have been another Nagaland in the making where the separatist movement has wrecked havoc in the state. The aggressive Christian proselytization in Orissa today pitched previously peaceful tribals into warring camps of Christians and non-Christian. This has has vitiated the peace that has existed with various communities for millenia. Why Orissa Orissa has been specially targeted because of a huge tribal population. This allows the missionaries to work from the scrutiny of the media and carry our their nefarious activities. In Kandhamal district, for instance, the Christian population has increased from six per cent in 1971 to 27 per cent in 2001, despite a law enacted by the Orissa Legislature in 1967 to prevent conversion by allurement, coercion, bribery and cheating.
