Mr Peria Samy, you have got many points right but I wud like to point out at some flaws. All ur posts in this page talks only abt Tamil Nadu and Tamilians, not a word abt India or Indians. How can someone like u comment on regionalism? To start with you say Cantnment area in Bangalore had tamilians as majority, I agree with you, but do you realise that when the British started railway service in Banaglore Cantonment Area, since they needed cheap labor and more man power they recruited lotsa tamilians and this is how they settled there(not like they were settled there from hundreds of yrs!) and cantonment is a very small region in Bangalore so it really doesnt matter. 90% of my friends are tamilians and so is my wife but I like tamilians as they have learnt Kannada and they mingle and have effortlessly merged well with the locals (except for a few tamilians who have recently shifted to Bangalore due to the IT boom). Its true that north Indians are taking away jobs all over as they dont have jobs in their states and they can do any work for cheap labor. Once they start they get their frnds and family thus populating the already messed up cities, but it is under no rule that the locals can stop them. Hence there should be a minimum amount of jobs kept aside for the locals to help them grow. Cities like Bangalore and Mumabi are big and popular partly due to investments from outside and workers from outside. So lets all be in peace and let others be in peace. Jai Hind!
