And, hey. Yeah, Tamilians did ask for a separate state. It was due to blatant sidelining of southern states by the center. Sucking up all resources but not giving anything back. Just like the anti-hindi issue, even other southern states don't like Tamils asking for a separate state, as they did not have the backbone to speak up against northie politicians. So, whose problem is it anyway ? Here again, Tamils were the first to give up their claim for a separate state when India was faced with a war against China. Such is the nationality of Tamils. If you have problems with Tamilians having their own opinion about such issues, well, its your own problem.
