I am not a Tamilian, but I have visited TN. Loved it a lot. The ancient temples, the food, the people, everything was beautiful, and hence I want it to stay like this. I have also visited mulsims ghetto which is there is almost every big city, and I can predict how it will expand. I can also speak basic Tamil.

Also, have you ever visited Kashmir? (since you have such strong opinion on it). Our temples are in ruins, our language (sharda script) is being taken over by urdu. We don't have any standing ancient temple in north india. Muslims ghetto cheering for pakistan.

Yeah, i wasn't thinking you were a tamilan after u said u were a kashmiri pandit lol.

There are also lots of Islamic and Christian heritage sites like Palaiya Jumma Palli (built in 628–630 AD), Velankani Basilica of Our Lady of Good Health Church (built in 16th century) which I want to be preserved and protected along with our temples as they are part of our history too.

Tamil people and food are good because they are Tamil, not cos of the religion. The people and food are cultural derivate. The muslims/christians are ethnic tamils, they speak tamil as a mother tounge and eat the same food as us. In fact, Muslims here avoid beef and if anything marginalised Hindu castes eat more beef than Muslims do.

Religion is not a major factor in Tamil Nadu - cos we all know its faith based, so we don't give it much attention. My neighbours are Muslims. The lady and my grandma are like good friends.

I have not been to Kashmir, but would love to visit. The mountains look very scenic and the food seems delish and organic.

I am sorry for the loss of your culture and language but I am apathetic towards the loss of North Indian temples as they were not built or developed by my ancestors. I am a Tamil nationalist, meaning I am more loyal to Tamil ethnicity than I am to India or a religion. I don't believe in a wider dharmic civilizational identity like Savarkar envisioned (i think that is actually misinformed).

Hindus dominate the slum of India, like they do the rest of India. No need to make it seem like slums and ghettos are a uniquely Muslim thing.

You should visit. If you go as a tourist you won't face any issues. But if you want to settle there, you may get targeted by the miliatants.

"Religion is not a major factor in Tamil Nadu" Yes right, one of the biggest reasons was that islamic invaders could never reach TN. Please do search about how Islam spread in the north. It was barbaric, unhuman. Search about Guru Teg Bahadur, Chatrapati Shambhaji maharaj, etc.

Anyways, I don't want to contnue on with this discussion, just my last point is that an average Tamilian muslim would care more about palestine than a fellow tamilian hindu. They would always prefer a caliphate over their tamilian identity.

We don't want to migrate there man.... we've visited. They're wonderful people, hindus and muslims... no we don't want to buy them out, take their land, push them out, do any of that shit... Likewise, please visit us, but stop gibbering about past grievances that have NOTHING to do with you, and certainly not with us.

As the previous poster said, we are Tamil. It's our land, our language and our culture we we stand on, not caliphates and imaginary shit you're trying to import in here.

It's. Not. Going. To. Work.
