This is exactly how I feel. Folks from the North are less tolerant than their southern folks whether it concerns - diet, religion, language, etc... Tamils sensed this long ago, pre-independence. They single handed took the blame for anti-hindi agitation and and rest of us enjoyed the benefits of this pluralism. Just imagine, the central entrance exams in Hindi, we would have been at a severe disadvantage. English evens the playing field. All hail our Tamil brethren.
We need a true federalism, a true devolution of powers in all aspects except defense.
