Vilander Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Its all in good fun really, its because of profile of south indians ( esp outside of India), earlier it was punjabis..I am a south Indian too, there is a lot of stereotyping in real life too. It wont hurt when you see the funny side of it.
GautiMaan Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Take it easy pa,we also make fun of punjabis,mallus,gults no?
Vilander Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 South Indians don't celebrate holi? :blink: i remember when i was a kid, my marwadi/guju schoolmates coming home and insisting that they play holi with me and my dad,he was sitting with his morning edition of 'the Hindu' lol...i went out got colored, then we used tiny syringes(lol) through the grill to color my Dads bright white vest.. Holi is not celebrated in TN and as far as i know in Karnataka by older generation.
vvvslaxman Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 Take it easy pa' date='we also make fun of punjabis,mallus,gults no?[/quote'] Rejult as opposed to Result pronounced by a section of people form north :cantstop: . We have made fun of this all our lives.
The Outsider Posted March 23, 2013 Posted March 23, 2013 South Indians don't celebrate holi? :blink: Not sure about other areas but the year I was in Bangalore I hardly saw more than very subdued Holi celebrations. In fact, colleges and offices were open on the day. I was quite surprised because till then I had assumed Holi to be a pan India festival.

Holi is not celebrated in TN and as far as i know in Karnataka by older generation. That's news to me. In Hyderabad it is celebrated like crazy, even Pune (where I stay now) pales in comparison. As a kid, I remember, my mom's cousins used to visit my home all the way from old city, about 20 KM from where I used to live, just to attack my mom with holi colors. I remember being sh!t scared of them and used to hide in the bathroom. We used to dig up ditches, fill it up with coloured water and throw people in to it. Crazy fun. Miss those days. :cantstop: As a Hyderabadi, I just can't fathom the thought of southies not celebrating holi.

Hyd is not in TN or KA , and older gen in TN and KA do not celebrate Holi as far as i have known and seen over a 25 year period.

But honestly, I traveled very little in India, during any festive season to really understand the culture in other places. Pune is the only place I stayed, for an extended period, away from home (I mean within India).

It's prolly the only place apart from Bang in South where Hindi is spoken.
Precambrian Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Never ever celebrated holy in kerala. Holi is not a holiday there. Even Diwali never used to be celebrated till recently.

BeautifulGame Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Holi is not celebrated in Tamil Nadu and its not a holiday either
Ram Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Any festival that involves throwing colors at other humans and 'accidental' groping of the members of the opposite sex should be pan-India me thinks. :hmmm:

Tiger80 Posted March 24, 2013 Posted March 24, 2013 Holi is not celebrated in Tamil Nadu and its not a holiday either Hindi belt of India has enough birth rate to make sure that in 30-40 years the entire south India will play Holi :cantstop:

Neither North Indian or South Indian, neither Hindu nor Muslim and even the telugu people are divided by caste like Reddy, Kamma, Kapu and region like Telangana, Andhra, Rayalseema etc. No wonder terrorists are ruling the roost there because of divisions in society.
