Mumbai, June 8: “Cultural shuffles always occur in development oriented society. The undivided Dakshina Kannada district is the cradle of several cultures. However there is cultural domination these days which is dangerous” lamented Chief media advisor to the Chief Minister of Karnataka and senior journalist Dinesh Amin Mattu.





He was addressing 'Sahitya Chintana 20', programme recently held by Karnataka Sangha, Mumbai at their Samarasa Bhavana in Mahim west.

Culture is a definition of love of language and life of values. Conflict is not a part of our culture. So may the Indian culture be free from friction”, he suggested.
