RE:Vijayanagara was founded by Hakka & Bukka, Kannadigas!
by Raj on Nov 11, 2006 07:07 AM

Guys,

Most of the posts in this newsboard is from typical Desis who cannot see beyond their usual stereotypical responses to catch phrases. As soon as you see "South India" in the headline, people immediately start interpreting the article as anti-north. As usual chauvinistic Kannadigas immediately jump at the mention of anything positive about anything Tamil. Please grow up guys..Rajeev was simply presenting his very positive views on the four southern states..as mentioned by somebody else on this message board, he is more familiar with Kerela and Tamil Nadu, hence his elaborate description of their history and economy. I see absolutely no reason for anybody to interpret this article as anti-north or an attempt to revive the North-South divide. By the same token, I do not see this negative sentiment when any article appears citing the glory of Punjab or other northern state. Why this double-standard?
