Who is talking about disrespect of tamilians for telugus and vice versa ?
Thsi thread started abobut calling the demand for the creatio of a telugu
state, totally UNJUSTIFIED, and (to some extent) unpatriotic.  Now, the
arguments that were runnign on the net were based on the `resistnace'
of some tamizh bigots (any sane person would read it as SOME not all people).
to the realizatioon of telugu pride and freedom.  Now, you clearly mention that
you and your ancestors lived in TN all along.  So you clearly, do not
EMPATHIZE (repeat EMPATHIZE) with telugu people and their feeling of being
wronged, and not being given their due (circa 1950).

IF YOU REALLY FEEL THAT TAMILIANS HAVE PROVIDED GREAT HOSPITALITY FOR
TELUGU PEOPLE LIKE YOU, LET ME TELL YOU THIS.   PEOPLE OF EVERY
STATE HAVE DONE THIS TO PEOPLE OF OTHER STATES.  A LOT OF TAMILIANS HAVE
PEACEFULLY SETTLED PERMANENTLY IN AP.  MAYBE YOU DONT KNWO THIS.
what tamilians have done is no big deal.  We are one country, and they have
to treat you the way are treating you now.  You make it sound as if they
have done the unthinkable (in telugu : Ghana kaaryamu chaesinatlu).

You are taking umbrage over something that you imagine has been said.
Well, letting steam off once a while, helps especially if one is a student.
Claiming that all these prior articles ahve been a party time bashing
tamilians for being tamilians, is your delusion.

But let me clarify the topic for you again.  A few people like me are
terribly upset at the statements that AP was created because it gave
telugu people kicks to rule themselves, and  thereby, the AP people
contributed to the DEGRADATION OF THE INDIAN FEDERAL STRUCTURE.

What incenses me further, was the various attempts by the then madras
state to prevent the formation of AP state AT ALL COSTS.  Why did they
do that ?

*****

Anyway,. I tried explaing.  If you still see this as a anti-tamil tirade,
go ahead and continue your postings...  Clearly, you cannot understand...
