Karnataka MLA Extols Bunt Community's Cultural Values at Hubballi Event
Deputy leader of the opposition in the Karnataka Legislative Assembly and MLA Arvind Bellad emphasized that all communities should draw inspiration from the cultural ethos of the Bunt community. He made these remarks during the inauguration ceremony for the golden jubilee celebration of the Hubballi-Dharwad Bantara Sangha, held on Sunday in Hubballi.
Bellad Highlights 'Work is Worship' Philosophy
Bellad praised the Bunt community for being at the forefront of adhering to the 'work is worship' philosophy, which he identified as a cornerstone of their success. He elaborated on the community's origins and growth, noting their significant impact across India.
"Hailing from Dakshina Kannada district, the community has made its mark across the country," Bellad stated. "The Sangha was registered in 1974, and elders who migrated to North Karnataka for businesses encouraged their families to move here. The community is now widely spread and well-known in all fields because of their elders, who pushed them to work here."
Community Unity and Support Praised by Leaders
Karnataka Slum Development Board chairman and MLA Prasad Abbayya also spoke at the event, comparing the celebration to the grandeur of the Dasara festival. He highlighted the unity within the Bunt community as a key factor in their achievements.
"The community is united, which is their key to success," Abbayya said. "They maintain cordial relationships with other communities and lend help to the needy."
The ceremony was attended by notable figures including MLC Pradeep Shettar and Vijayanand Shetty, president of the Bunts Sangha, underscoring the event's significance in the region's cultural and social landscape.
