How come most of the CMs of Madras Presidency were Telugus, be it from Andhra or present TN? How did Telugus come to dominate Tamils with a lesser population? And they still demanded a separate state!!

 

1. There is no ethnic identity, in the history- atleast from 3rd century. 1800 years is too long to differentiate.
2. In traditional Chera, Chozha and Pandya - only Pandyas before 14th century can claim 100% Agmark Tamils of today.
3. Malayalam of Chera country got separated 1000 years before.
4. Chozha except Great Raja Raja and his son Rajendra (he is the emperor who ruled vast Tamil Empire across the Globe), the area is limited.
5. Kalabhras rule which is the “darkest period of Tamil country” brought it with new religions and new languages.
6. The Pallava dynasty was an Indian dynasty that existed from 275 CE to 897 CE, ruling a portion of southern India. They gained prominence after the eclipse of the Satavahana dynasty, whom the Pallavas served as feudatories.
7. They ruled Chozha, Thondai Mandalam, Muluvai or Arcot, and some Chalukya territories.
8. The common languages of the region are Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu and Prakrit.
9. Pallava dynasty - Wikipedia.
10. Before 10th century, Northern Tamil Nadu had Telugu, Tamil, Sanskrit and Prakriti speaking people.(there is one more language called Manipralava). Tulugus are the sons of the soil, living with Tamils over 1800 years. Due to Tamil imposition in Schools, post independance, they cannot read and write Telugu.
11. After 13th century, Pandya Nadu also has Telugu people due to Vijayanagara Rule.
12. History cannot be changed. North of Kaveri saw frequent changes/ invasions. 15th century saw Ganpaths of Odisha occupied it for brief period.
13. Are you going to deny, Kalappirayars rule followed by Pallavas, Chozhas, Vijayanagaras, Maraththas, French and British in the region?
14. Are you going to deny, Buddhism, Jainism, Aseevagam, Saivism, Kaumarism and Sri Vaishnavism, Islam, Christianity in our history?
15. Are you going to deny Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu, Prakritis, French and English were Court languages at some point in time?
16. These are the anonymous questions intentionally raised by separatist forces to divide us ethnically like they did it in tiny island. Beware.

Summary: There is no ethnic identity, in the history- Telugu presence in North TN dates back to 3rd century and in South TN dates back to 13th century.

It is foolish to classify them as Tamils and Telugus as all of them are from the same soil, son of the soils, they have been living for last 700 to 1800 years.

End note: I would like to quote the answer from Ravi Malhotra here:

How Tamilnians became President and Vice President of the country, although Tamilnadu is a small state of the country? Every Indian has the right to live anywhere in India and contest elections from there and become not even CM but PM of the country also.

Kamarajar did not opt to become PM. Will any Tamil fulfill that?
