I guess you are making emotionally laced statements!!
But remember and appreciate the history of India...North Indians, having more Aryan blood in them, had a superiority complex and patronized the tribes that had more Dravidian blood in them...
The tamils, with dravidian blood in them, resented the fact that they were patronized by the Aryans...over a period of time, this mentality got ingrained in the genes and made them more stubborn and competitive with an air of self preservation!! Over a period of time, they asserted themselves in many fields including art, science, technology, business and many of the Iyers and esp. Iyengars, earned names for themselves in these fields..
The wheel had thus come full circle, and the Tamils proved that they were second to none, and if given the opportunites, dravidian blood was as good, if not better, than Aryan blood....
After the wave of achievement and self assertion, came the wave of regional jingoism by which Tamils excluded non-tamils from most activities and businesses in their state...provincialism took firm root and regionalistic fervour took a hyperbolic state...Keralites, Telugus and Kannadigas were systematically marginalized and the Tamil state was born... An air of self preservation coupled with intense regionalistic fervour made a heady concoction.......almost as if a self contained independent self reliant Tamil state existed within a larger Indian state....
