Kerala?

So I’m from South India and my whole life I’m 22 btw I barely met like 10-15 ppl who never bullied me for being South Indian I was in Maharashtra from 1st to 12th grade then came to Delhi And bro through my whole life I’ve seen North Indians never liked us Like genuinely they just don’t My Sanskrit teacher once straight-up asked Do we have South Indians in our class We all got excited raised our hands thinking maybe she’ll say something nice But then she was like Pls don’t talk in my class or in groups because you guys make the same noise as when you fill rocks in a tin can

BRO We just looked at each other completely confused Why did she say that Is our language that bad That was in 8th grade And this This is just one story I got MANY

You guys always made fun of our movies our language our culture bro even eating with hands Matlab haath se khana bhi crime hai kya That’s when I realized you guys never really accepted us as your brothers The only people who did were the ones who were really close to us our friends our neighbors But even then not all

And the worst part The SAME people who said South Indians go back forced us to learn Hindi forced us to change forced us to adapt And upar se bullied us for being South Indian Like bhai how am I supposed to feel accepted And we all KNOW when that landslide happened people were actually saying Acha hua mar gaye beef khate the Like BRO is this even humanity anymore

I feel like North Indians just force others to live like them They don’t like other cultures And let’s be honest you guys have also spread hate This is a land where I never felt like we were brothers so how do you expect me to respect you the same way Meme pages keep calling us 100 percent literate state like bro did we ever mock you In Kerala we have Hindi as a language we have so many Bihari and Bengali people working alongside us But North Indians Always giving us hate And then asking us to take it as a joke

Bro when were we ever truly accepted We were just a punching bag to you guys I had enough I did everything you guys asked I tried to fit in I changed the way I spoke I adjusted And still there’s no empathy I see the comments I see the hate It’s all visible

And now The hate and anger it’s just turned into loneliness and sadness Cause bro I feel scared to even say I’m from Kerala
