Its a very fine line of judgement. State based hate is just a large demarcation of rounding them all (like considering Delhites as spoil brats). <br /><br />I am a north Indian who doesn't like north Indians for all their amazing qualities, and I find south Indians to be quite less judge-mental in that comparison. I don't even want to go back to my native place and steer clear of Delhi in any form, to the extent of not befriending people from Delhi. Guilty I am one that count. I already have enough friends from Delhi to last me this lifetime :)<br /><br />Food based judgement is quite fun. I have a very short-sighted view of vegetarians, the people who eat food of my food. Ridding the world of its forest cover they are. Next in line are pseudo-non-vegetarians who call themselves so, but all their palette has tasted is KFC/McD filth. Ah, and it goes on :)<br /><br /> <br /><br />Anshul Chaurasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075675002601565862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252215017699624164.post-54674895075271469732013-08-16T00:24:39.341+05:302013-08-16T00:24:39.341+05:30You know, last month I had been to Chennai and sin...You know, last month I had been to Chennai and since I am not of that fair complexion, initially people were sweet to me, as soon they realized that I am not a south Indian, suddenly they began behaving rudely and all. It hurts and it is stupid also to dislike someone of your own nationality but not of your own regionality or however it is termed.

I mean to say I can't eat a certain kind of food or that I can't read a certain author is one thing, but if you were killing people, depriving them of basic comfort and feeling of belonging then I'd definitely see a problem with it.These people fight, quite openly about it too. It's embarrassing. :)Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07353984357319916497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252215017699624164.post-39458000271381630162013-08-15T22:05:13.832+05:302013-08-15T22:05:13.832+05:30Hey Anshul!

But I could try.<br /><br />I can stand being questioned, may be even the structures it forms, but when I see people hate another state, it really just pisses me off. I've seen enough hate for tamilians, Malyalis, Maharastrians, Kannadigas, I've seen hate for people from the north eastern states. All of it based on some concept of superiority. If I feel better about myself because I hate your state, how does that make me a better person, why should that be acceptable? :) BTW food judgement? how does that work!? :) Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07353984357319916497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252215017699624164.post-47637961791526871212013-08-15T21:29:34.193+05:302013-08-15T21:29:34.193+05:30I think what Anshul is saying is very much a pract...I think what Anshul is saying is very much a practical concept. And I of course as a human agree to it as much as I agree to judging people based on books. Which is my weakness and not called for. So I would say Maggie you have brought out a wonderful concept here. One that makes me feel more belonged to this country. If people like you are turning to be the next of the next citizens around perhaps my children will be more loved and less discriminated against because they were born in a different geographical location which by the way does follow IST no matter what...<br /><br /><a href="http://subzeroricha.blogspot.in/" rel="nofollow"> Richa</a><br /><br />Richa Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18147592329627851095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-252215017699624164.post-10743347988869756642013-08-15T21:06:03.698+05:302013-08-15T21:06:03.698+05:30though I totally accept all what you point out, I ...though I totally accept all what you point out, I feel that at some point in our lives we form our own set of conformities toward others - whether it be religion, caste,the place they live in or the languages they speak. The bias is there, its level is subjective. It has been there and it shall be, either we can revel in the myriad structures it forms or be bothered by what is acceptable to others.<br /><br />BTW. I tend to judge people from what they eat - does that count? :)<br /><br />Anshul Chaurasiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075675002601565862noreply@blogger.com
