Before any reader of this thread assumes anything let me tell you first that I
am a tamilian by birth though I live in Delhi.
I read the review of tamil movie "Kurthipunal". There were couple of good
reviews but I am sorry to say that others were more of LTTE / Karnataka
issues.
Come on , tamilians grow up. We are here to review the movie and not to bring
any political issues or talk about tamil pysche.
I have visited TN many times and for a brief period I have worked in TN and I
think I can claim to know enough about the so called tamil pysche. By the
way what is a tamil pysche:-
a) Develop irrational hatred for any language except tamil.
b) Never try to mix with mainstream and try to create your own pockets.
c) Be extremly self centered.
Point a:- It is well known that tamilian's speak atrocious Hindi. They will
not make any attempt to learn Hindi. Proof:- Go to Delhi where there are
close to a million tamilians today. Most of the middle age people ( > 45
years) can't speak Hindhi even after staying in Delhi for more than 15 years.
This is ridiculous. Of course young people are very fluent in Hindi.
Tamilians can say that it is due to political leader that tamilians were
denied learning hindi in school. My point is - who brought such parties to
power- Tamilians only. Just because some AIADMK and DMK bastard makes hindi
as an election issue doesn't mean that people of TN should swallow such
arguments.
Lets face it - Outside TN tamil is a USELESS language for all pratical
purpose. At least Hindi gives you the mobility in most part of India.
English is a different issue and is essentially a langauge for education and
work.
Point b:- Go to Delhi or Banglore and this is a common complaint that
tamilians don't mix with the mainstream. In fact someone told me that in
Banglore even after staying for many years tamilians don't speak kannada - or
is it that they don't know kannada. No wonder that in Dec 91 and now, Cavery
has become an execuse to settle scores with tamilians.
Point c: Point a and b explains this.
I am not bringing other issues peculiar to TN as I think these points are
enough.
LETS HOPE TAMILIANS CHANGE FOR GOOD.
