DO YOU THINK BUNTS ARE LOSING GROUND AT HEARTLAND CITIES..
We cannot call it a social crisis yet, but the Bunts are losing their lands in Mangalore and Udupi at a fast rate now as the young generation is leaving the heartland for careers overseas and to larger cities in India. There are about 10 lakh Bunts across the world, of which only 4 lakh are residing in the heartland, compared to the 8.5 lakh population of the community in the region during Independence.
