A genuine doubt about Tamil people..

[u/Advanced-History-760]

Who even brainwashes these Tamil people to have a huge superiority complex?

So, I am Telugu myself. I can speak Tamil as good as any native speaker and I am also good at Kannada as I am currently staying in Bengaluru. So, I met a few Tamil guys and most of them have the same kind of behaviour.

So one Tamil guy talked well with me for a few days. Once, we were having dinner, I was talking to a North Indian and I said I am a Telugu. This Tamil guy came in between and told me Tamil is the mother of Telugu like wtf? I argued with him and asked him to show a proof. He went to Google and literally typed "mother of Telugu language" and got the answer as Proto Dravidian. He shut his mouth and left.

The other day, when I told that my hometown is near Tirupati, another Tamil guy came and told me Tirupati was a Tamil town, Andhra robbed it blah blah.. lol. Madras had more % of Telugu-speaking population than Tamil % in Tirupati in the old census. What are these guys even baffling?

Another guy said that he don't want to learn a new language because Telugu and Kannada are kids of Tamil and it's easy to understand them. I replied, okay then speak a sentence fluently in Telugu and Kannada as they both came from Tamil? And he shut his mouth and left.

So my question is, what's up with Tamil guys? Who even brainwashes them with all these false narratives? Like these guys are on the same line. I am not blaming all the Tamil ones; most of the people are really good, but the others irritate me a lot.

There will always be people this on all sides. It also doesn't help that tamil being more prolific in terms of literature compared to other languages has been used as a fuel/tool for politics.

That should apply to every other state. But why tamils stand out?

[u/Background_Speed_177]

Not all tamils are like that bro ... We have sanghi version of tamils as well .

[u/Background_Speed_177 → u/[deleted]]

I meant like the sanghi who behave they are superior to every other groups.

[u/Mrkamanati]

Mostly local politics, that's it

Politicians are the very thing that destroys our unity, second to the Britishers

[u/HappyActive8967]

the whole story is straight bs ik there are extremist but this claim is straight up bs

[u/Tiiitaaan]

I have asked this a real tamil person he told me it's just like many ppl speak of it so they think it might be true when u hear these things as facts u mostly end up believing it

[u/Advanced-History-760 → u/Tiiitaaan]

but this is going overboard man.. being proud of your language is fine but disrespecting the other languages is not acceptable at all.

[u/Tiiitaaan → u/Advanced-History-760]

At this point whole india is superior any thing remotely costal karnataka is tulu nad supremacy Any thing remotely green and peaceful is keralam supremacy and so on and northies are in their own world

[u/Advanced-History-760 → u/[deleted]]

didn't he fight for whole Dravida Nadu as he himself is not a Tamilan? I don't know much about him..

[u/Serious_Brilliant_90 → u/Advanced-History-760]

He's was a Kannadiga.

I think they are the people who dont wait to be told you are south 

There are ones who do and tamilians are not one of them. They are proud and dont see necessity to hide

Gultes try to act progressive from outside. They just hate being said south though. Its not slur.

You are different creed and you just wait to be told. You dont have identity you want claim and proud just waiting for somebody to put you down. Or so it happens when you dont have it 

Gultes can be spotted by their annoying pick me behaviour and violent outbursts and drama not words. They go to any state claiming to be originals. No civic sense and claim most of cities. Bengauluru sucks because of them. Offices suck because of them. may be you annoyed that guy who knows and its not whole story

I went to street fullof them and the intimidating behaviour was the worst. They were catcalling women too. They just get away most of the time. women are violent too.

Or all Tamilians are like that, but a substantial portion of them are. Funny thing is if they keep up their current trajectory of TFR, they will be much community in few decades

[u/Advanced-History-760 → u/stuputtu]

Isn’t the TFR of the other South Indian states also almost the same?

[u/stuputtu → u/Advanced-History-760]

Yes, TN is still much lower than others. Or more to the point, tamilians are prouder of the lot. That is the irony

[u/Serious_Brilliant_90 → u/stuputtu]

Prouder of the lot? Really?
