Dude, READ what did I say?

Hindu rulers ruled in most of the south until recently, while the north had to suffer the traumas of Muslim invasions. Islam in the south came peacefully, in the north it came at the edge of the sword

It talks about the history of India (you have read this, right?). You replied something completely incomprehensible.:

whatever bomb blasts/religious or communal riots happens in india, the root is in South city.. the accomplice is from South. so, it is not just north at the edge of the sword, actually it is in the south

Duuhhhh..... Did you know that Islam came to Kerala spread by Arab traders and it came peacefully? Did you know that in the north of India it came by the sword, right from Mahmud Ghazni onwards? Hence the difference in the cultures of north and south. You mix the present with history. Sheesh

and for your information when india got it’s independence in 1947 (the day britishers left), south is still under the ruling of NIZAM ( a muslim) who is not willing to leave his seat and unite the state in India

There is a present and a past tense -- you've mixed both up. When the English left India in 1947, there were 300 odd princely states, the Nizams little spot in Hyderabad was just one of them. all the princes were figureheads kept in place by the brits. The Nizam only ruled over the central part of what is now parts of Karnatak, Andhra Pradesh and parts of Kerala -the rest of the south had other rulers, like the Rajahs of TRavancore and the direclty ruled British provinces of the Madras Presidency etc.

that is the reason why our state formation day is different from our independence day where all the rest of the states don’t have it..

A LITTLE knowledge about your own history would help. in 1960, the states were re-organized linguistically. This had NOTHING to do with the Nizam who ruled over a polyglot kingdom that included Tulu, Telugu, Kannada and some Malayalam speakers, plus also many Urdu speakers. Your southern 4 states were built on linguistic lines, divided amongst Telugu, Tamil, Malayalam and Kannada speakers.

Finally, THAT STATEMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH MY POINT THAT NORTH INDIA HAD MORE MUSLIM INVASIONS AND MORE RECENT THAN THE SOUTH! The South was safeguarded by this for centuries by the Vijayanagar Empire and then by the Marathas after that. It never experienced the same islamic trauma the north experienced, hence the culture and attitude towards islam is also different. Capische? Comprende? The attitude towards Muslims in Kerala differs from the attitude towards them in Gujarat. Even the Muslims in Kerala don't have the same mannerisms, attitude as Muslims in say UP

No point talking to you. .You don’t even know when the state formation day is.. read some articles online and talking here about the history.. we are talking about present..

for your info.. AP state formation day is 1956 November 1st, not 1960 like you mentioned.. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andhra_Pradesh

and with this i have decided not to reply your messages, as it seems to me, all you want to do is to argue somehow, but not to know the reality.. i am observing this from the time you mentioned to remove the post. I still don’t understand that if you think that this post is not supposed to be here and should be removed, then what are you doing here? why you are wasting your quality time at a “SHOULD BE REMOVED POST?” .. opening our eyes with your half knowledge or what? :)

Yes, because the Muslims in kerala didn’t burn people alive by locking them inside a train in a fine morning.. If they have done that, naturally the people’s view about them in kerala also would have been different..
