Thoughts
” Every children of our community should be taught with the importance of the beary language. I am a prompt supporter of education and literature. The people of our community should learn the importance of literature. They should learn to accept the world of literature. The people of the beary community are very greedy when it comes to money and fame. They need to stop running behind money. People should follow the Islamic way of living. This will result in nothing but peace.”- Thoughts expressed by Mr. Hussain Katipalla.
