for some reason, there's this divide in India, based on some stupid hypothesis about aryans. in any case, i want to know how do the 2 groups of ppl relate to one another? esp since skin color is big in India, how do light skinned northies look at darker southies? i heard that southies aren't accepted in society when living in the north, ie- a tamil man working in delhi. what about punjabis living in chennai? India is the only country where a fair skinned woman will shoo away a dark skinned man sitting on the same bench on a train platform (i've seen it). when northies and southies meet, how do they interact and view each other? there must be some underlying tension always.

i've observed that intra-indian relations are worse than inter-racial relations in the West. the black-white divide of US is small compared to the north-south divide of India. things seem to be getting worse, bc the dark skinned southies are economically better than light northies. could it spell the start of southern secession movements? as it is, southies have had to deal with northern domination of India since independence. they must be getting fed up of it by now? for some reason, hindi became national language, and bollywood is considered the all-India standard. when will southies get equal treatment, there hasn't been a US-like civil rights movement for them yet. what will happen in the future? it's easy to say we're all Indian, blah blah, but the ground reality is diff, and ppl are mistreated everyday even though they're supposed to be citizens of the same country. time to stand up!
