Chill out !
by UsualSuspect on Apr 04, 2008 04:10 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

My dear Kannadiga and Tamilian brethren,

Please do not fight like this. Aren't we all part of the same Indian family ?

I'm from Andhra Pradesh and it pains me to see my fellow Indians fight this way.

Please remember that there are always peaceful ways of solving issues. Let's give the leaders of the respective states a chance to solve it. I'm sure they are capable enough of coming up with a peaceful solution to this issue.

Until then, please chill out ! And don't write derogatory or damning comments.

India is Great !

Good intention but this will neever happen. It was a mistake to divide southern states along language lines. They should have split the states in a way language barriers do not affect solution for non-language issues. Given the polarization by language, it has become way too difficuklt.

Well, since we can't go into the past and redo the partition of states we need to live with that fact.

Regarding the solution to non-language issues, I don't agree that language is an obstacle in any way. If anything, it's the lack of consideration and understanding that is an obstacle.

We need to embrace diversity, not villify it !

I agree!... Why should languages be any obstacle in working together in Indian Union. Initially, it created separtist kinda identity, but it has been phased out. For a tamil to prosper today, It needs more than two languages. Hindi is really an asset, not a burden. Other than the enforced separtist identity which mushroomed rovolt against Hindi becoming a major language, it is more of a colonial pet dogs called dravidians' doings rather than the tamil people. At this junction of time, it might seem that we are fighting regionally, but what is happening in actuality is that separtist identity is phasing out, and breathing its last intake.
