That is more credible than your estimate which is plucking off the air. Would you believe that there are tamils in fiji, guadalope, guyana(mahendra nagamootoo who played for windies is one example), france, mauritius, seychelles, singapore et all.

I got nothing against telugus but merely pointing out your shallow perception.

and btw who had trade with romans back in 1st century. Who built catamarans -the word which is in the English dictionary? There are tamils in various pockets in SE Asia in places like Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam etc.,

And which kingdom had close ties to Thailand and Java, Sumatra etc.,

So there goes what people who claim that their ethnic grop is better than others...

Well there is more than a little evidence to suggest that the Vijayanagara kings were Telugus. Karnatic music is sung in Telugu. Bharathi called it "Sundara Telugu", the language of poetry and music.

There is a lot of things good about Telugu, but pure ethnicity based bigoted narrow minded thinking like this does not hold up those values in very good light.

What distinguishes Tamils is their ability to absorb and accept outsiders within the framework of their culture. Vaiko may be Telugu, but no Tamil will hold that against him. He represents the interests of his people, who are Tamils, pure and simple. Same with MGR, Jayalalitha neither of whom are ethnic Tamils.

As long as people like you keep announcing their exclusivity from rooftops without seeing the need for reaching out, then there will always be problem.

It is guys like you who encourage splittism in India, as well as Ironically within AP, in the Telengana like situation.

and can you name any one state where an outsider has become CM? TN is the only state in my opinion. That shows how people are so.o acceptable compared to many other places.

You mention all these acheivements of Telugu people, what is that supposed to indicate? Are you seriously suggesting that such achivement is absent among other ethnic groups in India? It just further exposes your narrow minded mentality.

Telugu people of Telengana are organizing themselves to get separation from the oppression of the coastal Andhrites.
