In India, I am called names and my culture, my language, my appearance is ridiculed and insulted. When ever I go to North India, I am called ethnic slurs by north Indians. In Delhi I was once told to get out of Delhi and go back to south. When I protested that I am an Indian, one north Indian guy told his friend in hindi....(This south indian is lecturing us. Seems to be a huge patriot. Wait till I give him a kick, see how he forgets his patriotism and learns to keep his mouth shut in Delhi.)
I have been called 'a_su_ra' and 'hab_shi' by my fellow citizens in North India. I have been told that (You south indians are upto no good. Those Pakistanis are way better than you south indians). And this has been my experience in New Delhi and NCR regions....the capital of the Country and surrounding areas!
I have interacted with a Chinese people in my trips abroad to Hong Kong, Silicon Valley, Europe and the Middle East. I have found them to be very hardworking and nice people. The one thing I noticed about all the Chinese people is they never take part in talking ill about others and dont gossip at all. I have received respect and love from the Chinese, and insults from my North Indian brothers.

Sad if that happens. regionalism is bad and curse to our nation. we all should pledge Not to get into regionalism. however, please don't show your love for Chinese. They want to ruin our country.

Dude, I am a marathi born and brought up in hyderabad. I learned to read and write and still was treated as an outsider and forced to bend ,but i didnt bend to localist and regional minds. So everyone suffers in india as we are not taught to think rrationally.
so i am a north indian (marathi more specifically( who suffred in south india. so, there are always cases when u r growing up.
