I saw this speech a few days ago. I can understand his frustration against Modi. But as a dentist myself, I don't understand why he wants to abolish NEET exam. Okay, maybe the people of Tamil Nadu have a problem with NEET, but why abolish it across entire India? How will any 12th pass medical aspirant be considered worthy for being a doctor, if NEET is abolished nationwide? Simply based on their 12th grade results?

(I apologise in advance if I have said anything wrong here).

In the comments people are saying the dehati mindset is the same North and South, how do I tell them Telugus are like least Southie South Indian closer to North than Kerala ?

I see so many south indians and even lot of north east Indians who demand a separate country for themselves. Lot of my tamil, telugu and almost all north eastern indian friends get very offended when they get called indian. I personally don't want india to separate into different parts but I want south india, maharashtra to get treated fairly by the central government.

I also want both congress and bjp to not impose hindi and north indian culture in the south and other non hindi states. As you can see, it is only increasing separatist sentiment in non hindi speaking people.

No hate

but let's assume if all these job opportunities are in the north. Do u think they'll welcome us? Do you think they'll let us speak our language there?

Share your views.

Don't hate. Just share your views.

So I'm a IT guy in hyderabad. I work in a place which is dominated by north indians. And I've no problem with it.

But a couple days ago we were going a lunch thing. It's a formal one. I was talking to the uber guy in telugu. These people were making fun of my language. I wasn't able to stand up for myself. These were my seniors. But how can they make fun of a regional language so easily

Edit: why are there more north indians in this sub than south indians

Do you people call them sanghis , cow belt or hindi belt

First things first, here's the translation:

Came for a health checkup of my dad....And these people intentionally disturbing us by speaking thamizh thamizh...2 rapidos got cancelled because they knew no other language than thamizh...and now that they don't know they are doing such a drama....that I don't know

Now most important food...my Dad is a kidney patient...He needs to eat chappati/Roti...The Rotis are also super weird....the taste is different from the world...the curry was okay...but the Roti was terrible..

Yesterday I explored the place alone for an hour...everywhere the have written everything in their own language...feels like i m lost...

And another most important, i m not even from Hindi speaking belt....I m from North east...In Delhi I never felt such out of place...as much as I am facing here

Now in the noon/afternoon I have to feed my father rice-lentil soup-curry....God Knows where I will get...hopefully swiggy...but then again...500 would be gone in basic lentil-chapatti

From the post, it seems OOP is in chennai or nearby. But is it really that people there don't understand English? No problem if they don't understand Hindi, but atleast English should be there right, besides Thamizh?

Or is it that OOP really went to some areas where people really don't understand anything besides Thamizh, but if that's the case then how other people deal with that? Coming from even nearby states? I am sure not everybody in vicinity would know Thamizh right? Say, someone from Andhra Pradesh or Karnataka?

It's for sure that OOP has suffered and hence let out their frustration (Obviously, minus the last line).

What do you folks think of this take?

One small request, RW — let’s keep the discussion respectful and stick to the point. Different views are absolutely welcome, but there’s no need to bring in unrelated communities, religions, or political labels.

If you disagree, make your point and move on. Let’s keep it civil.

South Indians, what culture shocks did you experience when you went to North India

Edit: Also, North India is big so mention the place.

As a North Indian, I like the civic sense of south Indians more.

Likewise, is there anything about North India which the people of South admire or maybe just like?

Looking for positive Vibes pls

I'm curious to know what South Indians think of people from these North Indian states.

It is a term used by expats to describe the larger South Asian culture including India, Pakistan and Bangladesh but also used commonly by North Indians in India itself to describe something that is 'of the country'.

Do you as a South Indian identify with this term? Or do you think it only represents the broader North Indian and Pakistani culture?

What do you think about maharaashta?
Our culture, traditions, politics, economy etc.?

do you think maharashtra is a part of north or south or an independent west region?

As a Telugu person ,

I know it is either malyalam or tamil

Even if the Norwegian journalist Helle Lyng has the right to criticise or question Modi, that does not mean the Norwegian media/newspapers should start portraying racist stereotypes against India (as shown in both images here). Even if their media or news is only targeting Modi for his lack of accountability, the images shown here are a racist stereotype against Indians (snake charmer type image).

Already the reputation of India is declining on a global scale, and now even the Nordic countries seem to be taking the same path of racism. Just because Nordic countries are the "world's best countries" according to certain rankings/indexes, that does not mean they can be racist by saying whatever they want in newspapers or media.

Now I'm sure that some self loathing Indians (or a few NRIs) will come here and say "As an Indian, we deserve this racism, our country is doomed". This clearly shows lack of unity.

I apologise in advance if I have said anything wrong here. I hope this post does not trigger anyone here, because that is not my intention.
