Learn from the Japanese. How to never give up (they achieved on par industrialization with ze germans in even less time) , how to be pioneers in technology and innovation, how to be humble in face of tremendous sucess, how to preserve their culture...in short how to be model citizens.
Actually you might be right...I saw a documentary once which said all the rulers of this world have a shot of Egyptian pharoah blood running in them and the descendants of the Egyptian pharoahs left Egypt to Europe long back and their progeny continues to rule the world ~ ofcourse in tandem with...
Thats somewhat correct.
The choice is actually Hindi/Tamil in the urban schools till 10th and only in 11th and 12th Sanskrit as a choice comes in.
So till tenth - Hindi/Tamil
11th and 12th - Tamil/Sanskrit/French. (No Hindi, atleast till what I ve seen)

Hmmm..again no. Malayalam as is spoken now branched out of old Tamil roughly 600-700 years ago and went through a partial sanskritization process.
But I agree to your point that Sanskrit holds greater importance to mallus than Tamil because a section of the scriptures are in sanskrit. I said a...

Hmmm thats wrong. None of the Dravidian languages are derived from Sanskrit perse. But they are influenced by it in varying levels. Malayalam being the most influenced to Tamil at the other end, being least influenced with Telugu andd Kannada inbetween.
Idealistic dreaming.
A united India would not have lasted a whole decade and would have succumbed to a civil war resulting in many more pieces like Yugoslavia or USSR rather than the two that happened.
What happened in 47 was a controlled explosion where the output was known. What would have...
