But the good thing is, it SEEMS he's a wannabe Thamizh and so...become one. <BR/>I think it's more the 'educated' (read English-educated) Tamils who are losing touch with all things Thamizhhh. Namely people like you and me. <BR/>And our CM, instead of taking some backward steps in the name of Tamil, could take some leaps forward by making say, Bharathiyaar's works a part of the curriculum ...in English as well. If we know Tagore, we can and ought to know Bharathi. Even Vivek made fun of this in 'saamy'. Just instances...<BR/>And certainly, no Tamil should take any mockery of Thamizh lying down.

But the tamizh karadis here speak ... MARATHI and Hindi just to see if they get marathi and hindi voice opportunities..
