Well people have adapted pieces of alien culture through out history. Dress patterns change. Well we have South Indian brides wearing Gagra Chowli in the receptions, and the bride grooms wearing "bandgalas" and "sherwani". So are the South Indian losing out to non-South-Indians? Is the South-Indian narrative being not told.
Well that is my personal peeve. The Kendriya Vidyalaya education never taught much about South Indians. Even if it was taught, what stuck in mind is about Maurya, Guptas, Mughals. What stuck is Chandrasekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh, Gandhi and Nehru. Such is the treatment to very own parts of India.
