Indian history books are biased. they only glorify only north indians. when Jhansi rani is glorified other queens like rani chennama of karnataka or rani mangamma of tamilnadu are ignored. all these north indian before pointing fingers on others, should learn about vellore mutiny which happened in 1803 in tamilnadu & sanyasin revolution happenned erstwhere in bengal. why doesn't the north indians learn abt these things. to say in short north indians were so cowardly dumb that they starting resisting only after 50 years when rest of india was already boiling. so shame of these northies

Mr Kkarthik, Dont compare vallore mutiny with 1857 ...Vellore mutiny was just a day fight and happened in one fort where as 1857 one lasted months and fought almost in full north India. So dont harp on anything ...Dont compare needle and sword. Yes even during 47 it was south India who was majorly invloved in Independence sturggle ...come on ..i accept you people( tamil) are supporting tamil elam liberation .

You Guys are sick...is this a matter for contention?? we Indians were all united in the Freedom struggle..the point of only N.India participating in 1857 was...because of the poor communication systems back then and also the different Ruler prevailing in S.India (S.India was mostly under Nizams then)...N.India was the direct victim of the Enfield bullets of the British which expalins the sudden reaction of them...and before the struggle could reach the S.India, it was subsided by the British...so it was not N.India vs S.India..but India vs British..please dont insult our freedom fighters...by bringing regionalism into this... !!Jai Hind!!

Alluri Sita Rama Raju (Andhra Pradesh), Veera Pandya in Tamil Nadu) are examples who laid down their lives in fighting white people. Don't bring North-South dispute not only in this but also in other issues as well. First you are an Indian, then only you're a Tamilian, Keralite or from Haryana.
