The name Bhatt should tell you that he is from Karnataka. You ignorant which is typical of most of the Tamils say he is Northie. And Mr Bhatt should know what he is talking about because it is the Tamilians who stoked the parochialism of Kannadigas in Bangalore. Kannadigas used to be the most broad minded of all the communities in India. But the Tamils in Bangalore Cantonment used to taunt them, ;their language and always used to proudly say "I dont know Kannada. Speak in Tamil" whenever some hapless Kannadigas used to speak to them in Kannada in the bad old days. Now they are paying to the Tamilians in the same coin in Bangalore. And that is what is happening in Srilanka with Sinhalese taking out on the Tamils for their past arrogance as you are taking out on the Brahmins in your State.
