The Bunt community never supported hating other people and has been the true follower of Vishwa Manava culture.

People from Bunt community are spread across the globe and have opened many an enterprise. They were into almost all fields of social life, Mr. Siddaramaiah said. With its unique culture and heritage, the community has made invaluable contribution to Kannada culture and history, the Chief Minister complimented.
