I more than please read such an articles which helps me to understand further about India. Although reading in papers on the wonders of south India\'s economics performances but this article has given me further insight.
My forefathers come from madurai settle in singapore, my father was an illiterate but hard working father & mother and learn to read and write tamil ( till now ) only in singapore, we were born in singapore with deep rooted tamil culture educated in english and with must impeccable spoken and written tamil.
Although India per se is not homogeneous society like china though having different dialect groups but china is united with same major festivals and language mandarin.
Whereas the language and culture changes every mile in india, this being said though my nationality is singaporean but my race is Indian and name spelled in tamil language clearly indiactes in our identitiy card of their respective race and langauage.
To add, tamil is one of the main official language in Singapore - its the only country in the world apart from various places where tamil is spoken.
I am a proud singaporean Indian tamil origin now working India based in North India.
