What's suprising is the way Racist politics come to surface with no delay among Tamils. I understand the great heritage of Tamils and there evenly great diaspora, above all Tamils have been very tolarant and vibrant part of community where ever they lived (India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia etc.) but the TN politicians used racism and cultism to cover up there own back yard. They got the Sri Lanka issue all the time when they have an election, stangly all Indians will get effected by this TN's racism. recently they started in Malaysia, in future somewhere else. Tamils should thing as an integral part of the soceity they live, respect others. Which many of you don't see is in Port Blair in Andaman Islands. Bengalis, Ranchis, Malayali and Tamil and Telugus lived in Harmoney since 1950's but now Tamils started cultism there, refuse to use Hindi even though A&N is a union terrotory, Tamil shops with name boads only in Tamil and English. Tamil Sangam school refuse to teach Hindi. Tamil buissnessmen getting staff from TN while poor locals seeks for jobs. These are the ways they get to the nose of other communities when they react whole Tamil diaspora will go crazy. I strongly belive Tamils should change there attitude. I don't white wash Kannadiga's but when your in Bangalore you feel it's an Indian City not in Chennai, it's Tamil homelands capital not an Indian metropolis.

First of all there are very few Hindi speaking people in Chennai compared to any other city in India. You mean your people are courteous if they do not speak their language. That is not courteous but that is called rude or ungracious. Please remember that TN is the only state in India which does not teach Hindi our national language as a compulsory subject.

You cannot insist Chinese to Talk English. If they are not talking English they will loose the global opportunities. It is similar situation to TN also. You need not worry abt their Employment problems. You have to see whether the people are good and kind. Yes they are. If possible, change your mindset. Dont talk the language barrier always!

You cannot insist the people to learn what is not necessary for them. There are so many states that dont even consider Hindi as subject not only TN. CHECK YOUR FACTS RIGHT

Tamils are not Racist and most of the South Indians are also not Racist as compared to North Indians. North Indians are the people who are the biggest Racist in India. Most of you other than Tamilians talk about Malaysia and Sri Lanka - Fine. You just cannot compare situations Sri Lanka and Malaysia with this issue. In Sri Lanka Tamilians were raped and killed by sinhalese and you want Tamilians to keep quiet - bullshit. I think may be you can keep quiet but not us. If you think that retaliating when some one takes away your freedom, rapes you mom & wife & children, kills your family is a wrong thing to do, then we will do that wrong thing till we die no matter even if our fellow Indians do not like or approve it. In Malaysia also the Britishers tooks us against most of our wishes before Independance and now the Malaysians are not giving us equal status in every walk of life and you want us to keep quiet. Sorry my Friends they are also citizens of that countries and worked and played a major role in the development of 2 Nations and they have every right fight for their rights.
But where do North Indians stand in India. Maharastra - North Indians were beaten in streets and their shops were smashed and one poor guy was killed also. And almost entire North- East(Mizoram, Assam, Meghalaya, Nagaland etc.,) are against North Indians and atleatst one North Indian is killed by them every month. When a North Indian is attacked & killed in other states for the same

reason as Tamilians do in Karnataka, you condem that act and even say the people who did that are not Indians and you even demand them to be hanged to death. Great thought hypocrites. And my Dear North Indians, this is just a statrt and this will continue and will intensify in the coming years. So before telling us you better start adopting to local regional culture if you are not in North India. Especially in Karnataka's case, my Dear Kannadigas during 90's itself they routed most of the developed & developing Tamilians out of Bengalooru and next will be your turn North Indians.
Hindi - National Language. Natinal Language doesn't mean that is is mandatory for all Indians to learn. Because some Hindi speaking poliicians made Hindi as our National language that doesn't mean that every one should accept that. This is a Democratic country my friends and every one has the right to learn what he wants. If some one wants to learn Hindi in India no one can stop him. Even in Tamil Nadu Hindi is taught in all the schools(even in some Tamil medium schools) as a subject and they have no restriction from attanding that subject. Most of th e Tamilians do not want o learn Hindia because they love their Mother toungue.In Tamil Nadu it all started when Hindi was made a compulsory subject. That is the time the Dravidian parties took out huge protests to ban that order passed by Indian Government. All Indians have the right to learn what he wants and in a democratic country n

no one should not be told what he should learn. If the Dravidian parties did not protest at that time then Tamil Nadu also would have been in the same situation now as other states where you have to compromise your own Mother Toungue for our National Language Hindi. During that protests also not even a single North Indian was killed. We just fought to protect our Mother toungue and we have the right to do that. If you think that is wrong then we will do the wrong thing till our last breathe.
Also stop lecturing us all the time to learn Hindi. When you are not in North India and when you do not want to learn local regional language the what rights do you have to tell us to learn your Mother toungue. We do not have any problem with Hindi speaking population(we do have a huge Tamil speaking Shah Rukh Khan base here) but we do hav a problem with North Indian who wants o impose their Mother toungue out here.
My Dear Veera Kannadigas - I worked in Bangalore for bout 3.5 yrs. Actually Tamilians are not the biggest threat to you land or your language. It is the North Indians who are the biggest threat to you guys. Le me give you an example - how many North Indians speak Kannada or even want to speak Kannada in your office or in ntire Karnataka? If you ask them they most of them don't even consider Kannada as a language. There are very few North Indians who can speak Kannada but there will be only less than 500 North Indians who can write Kannada in entire Beng

Bengalooru. But the Tamilians are the people next to Veera Kannadigas who can speak/write Kannada in Karnataka. Now itself it looks like there are more Hindi speaking than Kannada speaking population in Bengaloou and in the coming years it will be cleary visible. I am not saying this to incite any Kannada feeling or to develop hatred towards North Indians but I am just simply reflecting most of the North Indians attitude of demanding other Indians to learn their Mother toungue.
Moral of the story - I am not saying that Tamilians are the greatest people and most peace loving in the entire India but I am just saying we love our language very much and we will not compromise our Mother toungur for any language or any government. So My Dear Veera Kannadiga Kanmani's and all other fellow Indians in my point of view North Indians are the most Racist people in India and first they should learn to respect regioanl feelings before talking about their Mother toungue then only all this reginal factions will be solved.
