Silverine talks about the great north south divide.
That’s one sore point. I can see the southies vs the northies argument going on for a long time but as soon as the bad northies are driven out of the dravidian land voila!! You have kanndu vs the tamilian and mallu vs the telegu lot.
Wake up silverine. It’s something more then north vs south, its about our (read Indians) ability to form groups and fight against each other. The british have left but their divide and rule policy lives on.
I am a northie and I stay with a kannada guy, never had any problems. Its people like you and your colleagues who have a myopic vision who create such fissures in the society.
I was in Sydney last month and there my Korean manager told me about his experience in US where he was leading a team of 40 engineers out of which 25 were Indians. Within a month the Indians had formed groups, telegu, tamilians, northies and what not. I don't feel like writing about what all they did but my confidence of taking on the world as an Indian had taken a beating. A severe one at that.
