<description>&quot;Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.&quot;

-- Master Yoda, in Star Wars

I guess that is a universal truth. Individual and collective fear of any kind eventually leads to hate, and finally suffering. That is the root of all racism, xenophobia, oppression.
One must eliminate fear. But I guess that is almost impossible.

Love and peace to all,
Ayan</description>

<description>&lt;B&gt;TN GOVERNMENT&#039;S BETRAYAL OF TAMILS&lt;/B&gt;

The &#039;Tamil&#039; politician, Karunanidhi and his daughter Kan(n)imozhi are cowards worshipping is Hindian masters as he is working to remove Tamil from Tamil Nadu. After all the Telugu speaking family finds pleasure destroying Tamil heritage sites like Raamar Paalam and in denouncing Tamil poet Baarathiyaar.

Following are acts of language racism perpetuated by both Hindian goverment and also the private corporate sector. The central govt in Delhi has plans to wantonly ignore other languages and pave the way for their decline by sole use of Hindi and by the portrial of India to the outside world as Hindia. 

Karunanidhi is of-course supportive of such policies against Tamil language and people.

1&gt;Gas books across India printed only in Hindi and English
2&gt;Air Hindia, Hindian Airlines, S(J)et(h) Airway etc having announcements only in English and Hindi.. Hindians only served
3&gt;Hindi being compulsory in CBSE schools while Hindian can choose to skip the state language in favour of Sanskrit
4&gt;Lack of opportunity of native Tamils in the north leave alone North Indians to learn Tamil and other southern languages in their areas
5&gt;Tamil being portrayed with lude &#039;comical&#039; roles in Hindian films
6&gt;Hindian railways train tickets skipping the state language. Hindians only served
7&gt;Airports (like in Madras) hiring Hindians who cant speak Tamil/state language. Hindians only eligible
8&gt;Hindian Railway and other Hindian institution websites restricted to only Hindi and English
9&gt;Hindian movies only being sent to the Oscars and other cultural events ignoring other languages. Hindians only served
10&gt;Hindian bank passbooks skipping the state language. Hindians only served
11&gt;ATMs of most banks (Citibank, Hindian Bank etc restricting to Hindi and English)
12&gt;Looking down on states of Tamil Nadu because of refusal to prescribe to &quot;accept-Hindi-as-your-language&quot; attitude
13&gt;The very use of the term &quot;Regional language&quot; to non-Hindi languages
14&gt;The use of Hindian stickers in trains and else portaying &quot;speaking Hindi is nationalism&quot; and other propoganda messages stating use of English or non-Hindi as not being nationalistic. So Indian Railways is calling non-Hindi speakers as foreigners.
15&gt; The very absence of languages other than Hindi on the symbol of citizenship of the country&amp;ndash; the passport

The above is a part of a sinister policy create to transform India to simply Hindia or Hindistan.
These remarks are taken as fascist...but you need to ask yourself whether the National Language policy of India itself isnt fascist.
If you trace the history since independence regarding the use of language apart from Hindi, you can foretell the future plan for this fascist policy.

This Hindian fascism should not make it a big mistake for India to be a lingual union. The last thing for the country is encouragement a colonial attitude by speakers of the &quot;elevated&quot; lingo.

What is Hindi. It is language brought by Muslim invaders who came and destroyed the countries history and languages. SHame Shame is promoting the language of ammaa-p-pillais.

DMK, PMK and other Tamil traitors are happy with this scenario as they are in business with their Hindian masters who safeguarding the TN reservation policy, where several Hindi OBCs get reservation in TN while Tamil FCs are thrown out. Their vote bank has been assured by their Hindian masters.</description>
