@missmaddenstein All I see are a bunch of sweeping generalisations based on anecdotal experiences.. Are you aware that there are thousands of blue collar workers from the north who work peacefully everyday in Chennai/TN? Forget them, I’m sure you know about Sowcarpet don’t you..

Have you ever travelled to other parts of the country? I used the word ‘aloof’ for a reason because the mehmaan nawazi culture of the north is so diametrically opposite to the pained tolerance of “outsiders” in the south. There they want to make sure you have the best experience, here they can’t wait for you to leave. Caste is a problem throughout India but some societies are more outgoing and welcoming of others.

“Tamils are aloof people as a collective, they are taught to mingle with their ingroup and keep others at a distance (which is also why caste/class divides continue to permeate the fabric of the culture)” As opposed to rest of Indian society famously known for its egalitarianism
Maddy Ravi@missmaddenstein

Absolutely agree with most of this, and in my view all issues with Chennai boil down to one thing: close-mindedness. The government is close-minded in how they view growth and prosperity. The society is close-minded in understanding what modern behaviour is. Individuals are close-minded in who they accept. Tamils are aloof people as a collective, they are taught to mingle with their in-group and keep others at a distance (which is also why caste/class divides continue to permeate the fabric of the culture). In the case of immigrants, this sense of us v them is heightened, and combined with the natural southern predisposition to minding your own business and being socially insular, this comes off (rightly) as being non-welcoming. It is not an easy city to make new friends. It is not just where you’re from, acceptance is also dependent on how you behave. I’m Tamil, born in Chennai. I’ve grown up overseas. I’ve been to Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore… but Chennai is where I feel the most suffocated. Where being my outgoing, loud, gregarious, carefree self has invited unnecessary scrutiny and unwarranted scorn. And if they can do that to their own, I can’t imagine what they’d do to outsiders. So yes, Chennai has no appeal to youth, but the important thing is it doesn’t want to either, and that I think is far more dangerous for its demographics in the long run.

@UpdatesChennai Andhrapradesh is still having the highest GDP than Tamilnadu. It has been split hence there is reduction in GDP. You should split Tamilnadu and compare the GDP against the Telangana and Andhrapradesh.
