Re: # 600

Nkg,

It was a light hearted banter with Majumdar. Intelligence has no connection to race/religion....

Saab, I tried to mean this: "a person as an embodiment of a collection of qualities"

Majumdar,

"Hindoo Brahmins are hardly the only racist, casteist people in the subcontinent."

No...Proly it has changed for the better now. What Tahmed Sahib says has lots of truth in it. Brahmins might not have been the only caste to discriminate but they were the movers/leaders behind the idea.

"Are you saying that many Dravidians are to quote Arjun mian "inbred retards"???"

Inbred ;yes to a certain extent but certainly we are not as much retarded as our Aryan brothers from the north, right? You have to see the statistics on development to understand that...

Tahmed,

Whites have bored our craniums with all non-sense...I think I would have to unlearn this non-sense. Anyway I am attracted to the personality than the complexion...

Majumdar,

But Dravidian nephews by default have a right to marry the daughters of their maternal uncles :D...Even the maternal uncle has no stakes in that decision...

Re: # 574

Be good maternal uncles to them...Dravidians regard Maternal Uncles more important than their Father and Mother...

Majumdar,

con·sid·ered 1. thought about or decided upon with care: a considered opinion.
2. regarded with respect or esteem: a highly considered person.

Majumdar,

From wikipedia.

"Kapus are considered be the earliest inhabitants of the Deccan region who migrated from the North and cleared Forests for Agriculture and built Towns in the Deccan. They are considered to be the Descendants of the Original Aryans who migrated to South India. "


They are mostly brown complexioned. Doesn't it fail to qualify the Aryan race?

Majumdar,

Dravidians could have been fairer as naturally as what made other tribes fairer. Sridevi, to my knowledge, is not a Brahmin. There are a whole lot of Dravidians of non-Brahmin backgrounds who are lighter in complexion. Infact these days I see the non-Brahmins fairer than the Brahmins in the south, possibly due to the new found affluence.

Funny, the other day when she was interviewed by Srinivas Jain of NDTV, this lady traced her ancestry to some Punjabi village and claimed that her parents were North Indians.

She was rejected by the south film industry. I don't care if she is an Aryan, Dravidian or Draryan...
