With a twin-objective to enhance interaction
among community members and to promote the cultural heritage
of Navayaths via the Net a group of Navayath intelligentsia
launched bhatkallys.com, a site which you have have just logged
onto. Culture represents the quintessence of all that is best
and invaluable in the life of a person. Besides focusing on
our culture and keeping the Bhatkali diaspora well informed
about the news of Bhatkal, the site aims to provide career
guidance to our people and help them in getting employment.
The site, created by Mohammed Mohsin Shabandri with the help
of a dedicated team and developed by Peer Mohammed, was launched
in January 2003. The site encompasses a slew of interesting
and informative features including community news, general
articles, chat room, discussion forum, photo gallery, etc.
In February 2004, the Naqshe-Navayath was made available on
bhatkallys.com with the consent of the publishers.
