I just want to know from all of you guys as when you are in a foreign country, are you known as Indians or kannadigas or Tamilians Only Indians wil have these classification? In spite of whatever one says India's official language will not become English as a first language and it will remain as Hindi( pl see Toefl or GRE GMAT forms). I really do not understand the logic behind recognising English, a foreign langauge as one our own and insisting on the fact that we recognise it as one of our own naional language but not recognising Hindi as our national language.
Secondly if Rajeev really want to compare the NS growth then pl see that the growth of south is really because people from all across India have come to south to make it grow. I would like to see how many Kannadigas are working in Bangalore in the IT/BPO or shining sectors, or how many Tamilians are working in Tamil Nadu industry as compared to other Indians. The official stat. figures show otherwise. Middle/ Senior/ most top level management is dominated by other than south Indians in all south Indian companies .... so please do not divide and rule.
