Media did a great job: Dr. Hegde
Shri Dharmasthala Dharmadikari Dr. Veerendra Hegde, the president of the Vishwa Tulu Sammelana, said in his concluding speech that the media has done an exemplary job in covering the day-to-day events of the Convention. The most fascinating thing about the Vishwa Tulu Sammelan, said Dr. Veerendra Hegde, was the fact that all the people who attended the Sammelana, in spite of their differences of color, caste, religion, and localities, were bound by a common thread—their love for their mother-tongue Tulu. Dr. Hegde expressed his unhappiness that this great cultural event has still not attracted the attention of the international media in spite of its magnitude and grandeur while trivial events such as a pub brawl and the attack on some girls by some unruly boys hits international headlines.

He expressed gratitude to media persons for giving extensive coverage to all the events of the Convention. Thanks to the media, people all over the world as well as those who couldn’t attend the Convention for a variety of reasons could get the best reports of it. The press has successfully conveyed the true spirit in which the Sammelan was organized. By doing so, they have rendered great service to Tulu cultural tradition and language.
