South Indians a.k.a Mallus are a real asset of India. Most of top tier executives of your defense establishments are Mallus.
Literacy rate must be high in Kerala and the adjoining areas
Hi...True Mallus are a Hard working people and are real assets to India, but if you see this Project of Mangalyaan, there are More Tamils than Mallus and than comes Telugites, though I'm not degrading any Mallus here, because both of them are almost like brothers..
The list of tamils in top levels of defence establishment are
1. Mayilsamy Annadurai - Chandrayaan Project director
2. A. Sivathanu pillai - Brahmos Head
3. A.P.J Abdul Kalam - father of PSLV (Retired)
4. Tamilmani - ADA DG
5. S.Ramakrishnan - Director of Vikram Sarabhai space centre
6.S.Shiva Kumar, B. Jayakmar , pannir selvam - Key Ground project chiefs for Chandrayaan Lift off
7. Dr. Kasthuri rangan - Head of ISRO during first successful PSLV Launch (Before Madhavan nair, and Radhkrishnan)
8. Retd. Air Marshal k. Madeswaran - chief scrutiniser for IAF projects with HAL and so on..It keeps going..
Though mallus are one of the highest lots in India in terms of literacy rate and social development, tamils are also equal to them in terms of knowledge if not higher..Thanks
