Karkala, 14 Feb 2016: The vices such as caste, creed and faith in the society threaten the communal harmony. When the parents are well cultured, the entire family will be alright. The harmony and brotherhood comes from families. The mother is the focal point of culture. The castes and sub-castes are not so important.
