K.Kamaraj has taken several wrong decisions during formation of states. I. The first mistake was the decision on Guddalore. Guddalore would have gone to Kerala. He decided to keep Guddalore with TN where Malayalam speaking people were majority. Later on TN government has corrected the linguistic imbalance by establishing srilankan settlements in Guddalore.

II. The second mistake as adding Nilgiris to TN. I have lived in Nilgiris for 5 years. The language of local people is Badaga. It is 90% Kannada and no way related to Tamil. Badaga literally means those who came from North, ie Mysore. Nilgiris would have gone to Mysore, if the division was done based on a referundum.

III. The third mistake was adding Kanyakumari district to TN. Since Kamaraj's roots were in this district, he had to do this to remain in Tamil politics.



Interesting stories: A new generation Tamilian from Nagercoil went to Chennai and started speaking in Tamil. The Chennai Tamilian replied "You Malayalee, do not speak Tamil and spoil it". Actually the people in Kanyakumari district will be much more happy, if they are allowed to reunite with Travancore, their parental country.
