If victims were Northi then why should Southi worry about that? If they were non-Marathi then why Marathi should worry about that? If they were Kannada speaking then why Bengali speaking worry about them? If they were Hindus then why non-Hindus should worry about them?
If they were from upper caste then why should lower caste worry about them?

The reason is India is in real Country of Countries only an Confedaration is worth this Forced Fedaral system creates enmity among the people. Which ever been the languages of prior to august 15 1947 should be there no out state language should be allowed in othere state to dominate all will say england rules india for 300 years but there english never destroyed indian languages like in the case of marathi out of mumbai but hindi done that in less than 61 years.

Darling most Indians ae Dravidians irrespective of which part of Inida they are from. Speaking and Aryan language does not mean you are an Aryan by race, It only means you are Aryanised.Are we English just because we comment here nad use English as our medium of communication. It only means we are Anglicised Indians. If the British had rules as for another 200 years wea would have all forgotten our mother tongues and would have started to only speak and think in Englsih.Like what happened to the Blacks in America. It stil doesn not mean we are English. The same thing happened in the North Central West and East India. The Dravidian mases forgot thoer language due to long term Aryan or other rule and adopted teh Aryan speech of thoer rulers.In reality there are hardly andy pure Aryans/West Asians in India. MOst are of upper castes are AryoDravidian mixed race mullatos. I think it is you who are jingoistic not him. He only stated that people do not have the impoes thoer language on others and it is true. Even if they are the majority. Yo do not like home truths being told so you start about jingoistic Dravidians. Showing your parochial regional mentality. remeber most of Indian culture aorund 75% is Dravidian based, as it is the culture of the masses.

Wonderful writing, but do you believe it yourself?
To me, my roots are important only for cultural activities and nothing else. So whether I am a Maharashtrian or a Naga, matters in a restricted way only.
For the rest, I am an Indian and worry about all Indians irrespective of all those labels.
And when I see innocent persons being hurt, whether Indian or not, it hurts like hell.
