Incredible South India and South Indians!!
by Deepa N on Feb 06, 2007 10:34 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

South Vietnam, South Korea, South Afghanistan ... Time for another country [?!] to imerge, i.e, South India. Isn't that why the Southies have always hated and neglected their National Language, Hindi?! Being a North Indian has been tough-luck in the Deccan for ages. Now being a Tamilian in Karnataka is going to be the same. It shows the failure of diagnosing a deep-rooted cultural disease by the age-long symptoms, passive as well as active.

Deepa

You are giving vent to some past bitterness at this juncture when people are supposed to maintain calm rather than talk rubbish. Though most of Kannadigas speak Hindi, you should keep in mind that most of south indian languages are different from Hindi in every way and it's tough to pick it up. Also the way the south indian hindi is made fun of in every television forum and hindi movies it's better we stop speaking hindi. Anyways English is the laguage of the world and it has not remained foreign language anymore.so it's high time English is made the national language.
I wish I could send you few flowers as you are sick.

take care

Your desire to have English as your National Language itself describes my logic for another South Country. You missed the basic point, see?! And remember, the entire IT sector in the south should be grateful to the Tamilians for managing the HR sector.

What kind of logic is that? South Indians(mainly tamilians) hate Hindi for it's foreign content(persian, arabic). Not because Indians from other regions speak it. People will not have a problem if languages like Marathi or Bengali are made national languages. Not Hindi. Take it to Arabia or get back to your roots before you enforce it on rest of India. But it's a fact that south indian people still try speaking Hindi though they are mocked at. It's a cruel joke to India as a whole.

Not sure what you are trying to comment about. Most of the people in Bangalore and Karnataka can speak Hindi thats why North Indians prefer Bangalore over Chennai. Looks like you are confused

South India will never divide from rest of India. Everybody has issues, not just people from South India. Let's focus on NE and Kashmir. Now stop the nonsense about south india dividing from north. It will never happen. Language raise curiousity more than hostility. Religion is a different thing.

Hello Madam....Please do some research as far as the National Language of India is concerned. India does not have a single national language and there are 23 official languages in india.
Get your facts right before accusing someone.
