Rediff being a national portal has thing for regionalistic articles . They tend to promote the regionalism in the people . I guess the people in rediff believe in that . This article is little to regionalistic . They are no numbers so what these people at rediff write . "South did not see any wars" The only war they know till now is partition of which they havent being a part of. thanks for enlightment on south doing well .South has casteism, regionalism and above all corruption which i guess everybody from south india indulge in . "Birds of same feather flock together "

Well ur the first one who ever said that bengali, bodo are anti-national... iv never heard tht.. I hv heard some dumb ppl say tht abt s but never heard anyone say bengalis are anti-nationals, thats jus another story of ur own. And btw, i dont think s are anti-nationals, i believe they'r jus as patriotic and nationalists as any1 else in india. I read this somewhere else in the discussion too tht karnataka ppl arent as anti-north, and esp anti-hindi as ur making it seem, i totally agree with that. But yeah i do see the problem in other states of south, esp TN

Moral of the story: Naidu is regionalist, Lalu is nationalist. Praising Punjab, Rajasthan is not regionalist. Praising south is chuvanism. Hindi is nationalist language, southies, bengali, bodo are anti-national languages. * I wonder why Regionalism is much abused word in India. Regionalism exists everywhere. it exists at international level, national level, it exists within states, it exists among the districts, among the villages.
India has unity in DIVERSITY. This MAY be regionalistic article but NOT AT ALL chuvanistic.

yyy on earth r u people fighting over hindi???????? People who think Hitler was racist are the real racist people(Americans especially)..anyways the south especially Tamil Nadu people who have always been proud about their language want to learn english but not hindi..they think the british people were their cousins who treated them as equal to the british thats the reason they now want to convert to christianity..hahaha.. wake up tamils look at where ur lives are going.Muslims kill and die for islam ..Tamils kill and die for Tamil(LTTE)
North Indians aint any better either ,they think they are the richest people in India and the descendants of the white british itself..
There is nothing wrong in learning Hindi ..its a language derived from sanskrit which will unite us Indians...Its time we realised wat is swadesi and wat is pardesi.
i like the way deve gowda has given importance to kannada...i think english should be eradicated from India and Hindi and the local language should only be taught in educational institutions..
Anyways i am from A.P and I speak hindi,telugu and english..

Hey Guys, have a break. its has nothing to do with hindi or tamil. i think there is a major misconception that TN dont appreciate learning hindi. the fact of the matter is Tamil is a complicated and rich language. if children did not learn them from an early age its really tough to get it in your brains at a later stage.
i learnt tamil since my kindergarden to high school. from college i chose hindi and i had formal hindi classes for 2 years(its was much easy tahn tamil). now i am ready and raring with hindi. there are 1000000s of guys like ME in TN.
OK heres the deal, would anyone from the north indian states, enroll for a tamil lanugage course and speak, write tamil, how many would volunteer that in high school or in college? even though if its declared tamil is a national/official language!!
the guys in the south are DEFINITELY traditional but they are also tolerant,knowledgeable and they are Indians.
