If Tamil Brahmins are called Aryans as against Tamil, it is their own doing. It is the Brahmins who called Tamil a Neecha Bhasha as against thieir Deva Bhasha, Sanskrit, It is the Brahmins who called all Tamils excepting themselves Sudras and Chandalas. It is the Brahmins who say that Carnatic Classical Music is Divine and Tamil (read folk) music is degraded music. Anything Tamil was anathema to the Brahmins, who considered themselves pure and High and the others impure and degradable second class citizens. The Division was brought by Brahmins against the others and not the other way around as the author is trying to portray. It is a very dirty trick played by Brahmins.
the problem with Indian government or Indian is that we still cannot come to terms with the term 'Indian'. we dont feell the same for other communities the way we feel for our own communities. ex: A bengali would never sympathize for a Srilankan tamil but would for a Bangladeshi muslim. that is the reason we have millions of illegal Bangaladeshis in our country, voting legally. but we would never go out and help a fellow Indian in Srilanka or Fiji or South Africa or Malaysia. High time we change this atitude. one more reason might be is that the policy makers belong to a sect of people.(these people amke around 2 percent of indian population but always protect their interests) one more reason might be that these people belonging to policy making didnt actually migrate to other country as labourers,but immigrate after independence as skilled labourers. already we have reservations to get rid of these guys, but the print , tv media is still occupied by these idiots. these are the Brahmins... the jews of India
The Indian Identity, like the Russian, the Chinese, or the Jew is unique. Even one hundred years later the Indian will remain so, very much like the Jew. It is way we are wired that makes us Indian. The weight of our heritage,the live and let live mentality- along with Chalta Hai and nothing really matters is all a part of our make up. Whereever we may reside we will always retain our distinctive character which marks us out from the rest of the world. It is for this reason that we as a people will be discriminated in foreign lands. Worse fate befalls a person who forsakes his roots. The temples were built in Malaysia a long time back and the Govt there suddenly found them pagan and worthy of destruction then this is a case of deliberate abuse and putting these long settled minorities on notice.No matter what Malaysia Tourism may project an image of amity among the various communities beckoning Indian tourists with images of a beautiful Malaysia. It is correct that our PM has voiced concern but in this day and age who heeds to sane voices.On the contrary the Govt of Malaysia has chosen to slap Attempt to Murder charges on the protestors and punish them severly.This is tragic to say. One can only hope that good sense prevails.
THis whole aryan dravidian thing is a hoax. There was never an Aryan invasion in India. The whole thing has been built over a mythand thats it. Yes, it is true that Brahmins have erred, but that was past. It is also true that now they are facing unwanted criticism for no fault. They mind their business and that is called cowardice. They slog their ass and come up in life, and that is looked upon with jealousy. And bottom line, we are still in the 3rd century no matter how much we eduacate or how much we progress why because like our politicians we don't know how to kill time. so we lock horns. Any of you done true research on Indian civilization speak up. Else shut ur ass up

It is you who hasn't done enough research. What is visible to bare eyes cannot be seen by you blind people. Simply because you do not belong here. You came unclad and unfed running from centra asia. We gave you food and shelter. Instead of being thankful to us you colonised us and tortured us. If you want evidence, look into the shameless aryan works which go in the name of literature, ancient literature at that. That tells you what your shameless forefathers did to Indians.

you can shout at the top of your voice that Aryan invasion is a myth, Aryan invasion is myth. But there is no proof for that except the concocted ones by shameless persons like Rajaram. Even his fraud is out now. So stop shouting and do your work you shameless people.
Just because dravidian tamils call people of his kind call him aryans, he does not need to go on a lecture like this. Malay tamils are indians, and if you know the issue, situation is almost like nazi germany. No country treats the minorities better than India(in fact majority is discriminated). And if DMK call tamil brahmins non-tamils fight in the courts, fight in a democratic way. Tamil brahmins have not done that, that's why they are cowards. Then they take their frustration out on other communities where they finally settle in.

what utter BS~! 'Indian' is not a RACE like white or asian or latino. India has so many races in it that no single race is 'Indian'. So people living abroad who look like us are not Indian- Not any more than Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are!

Malays (Malay: Melayu) are an ethnic group of Austronesian peoples predominantly inhabiting the Malay Peninsula and parts of Sumatra and Borneo. The Malay ethnic group is distinct from the concept of a Malay race, which encompasses a wider group of people, including most of Indonesia and the Philippines. The Malay language is a member of the Austronesian family of languages. The Malay people are believed to have originated in Borneo and then expanded outwards into Sumatra and later into the Malay Peninsula. These people were descendants of Austronesian-speakers who migrated from the Philippines and originally from Taiwan. The main foundation of this school of thought lies in the fact that the oldest Malay settlements have been discovered in Sumatra and not in the Malay Peninsula. This suggests an upward - south to north - migratory route. Malay culture reached its golden age during Srivijayan times. Malays praticed Buddhism, Hinduism, and their native Animism before converting to Islam in the 15th century.
