is dravidianism different from dravidian supremacism??
since the last 7-8 years or so, ever since bangalore and the hyderabad and chennai became IT hubs, there has been umpteen reports of a new found arrogance, a swagger, based on arguements down the lines of "we have bangalore and you have bihar", and/or "look at literracy rates in kerela and madhya pradesh" etc.
i have myself been on the wrong end of countless allusions to "stupid northies" and other unflattering descriptions. news papers like deccan herald are shamelessly parochial, "northi go back' is scrawled on the toilet walls of most colleges, "delhi sucks" was the slogan that all 10,000 people broke into during the Bryan adams concert....i could go on.
Where is this headed?? how long will it continue??
