For all the enlightened nitwits out there, lets get one thing straight. Tamil Nadu is not the only state in south-India. In case u missed your class on Geography in primary school, South India has got 4 states with people speaking different languages and having having distinctly different cultures.
I've witnessed some apalling misconceptions that normally-intelligent-looking ppl have about we ppl from down South. Thought I'd clear some over here, in an attempt to promote unity in diversity (which again is a sham. India is regional.Period. No matter how much you go denying it)
No, 'south-indian' is not a language! Neither is south-india a state, with Chennai as its capital.
No, south-indians are not decendents of Raavan. Get real ppl!!!
No, Rajnikanth is not the only actor down south.
No, all south-indian movies do not, i repeat, DO NOT have Rajnikanth-ish stunts. Its like saying that all Hindi movies have Mithun-ish stunts or hero-heroines running around trees in song sequences.
No, south-indians needn't necessarily have relatives in Sri Lanka or the US or the Gulf.
No, Telangana agitation is not a demand for a seperate country, atleast yet.
No, dont stare at a south-indian when he/she orders a Naan or a Roti at a restaurant. You needn't give him/her the "oh-my-gosh-i-thought-you-guys-are-supposed-to-only-order-and-eat-rice-everywhere" gaze.
And no, this doesn't end here. A lot more unpleasantly funny and ridiculously inedible perceptions have been formed against Indians who hail form the 4 states down south.
Need your comments on this one, if you have a thing or two to say (which you surely will, coz this is a hot-topic) ;)
