Seeing a lot of hatred towards Telugus online of late, and more than Northies, it's from other Southern states.

The fact that Telugu movies are succeeding at a pan India level, from Bahubali to Pushpa is giving them a real heartburn, especially these cinephiles from Tamil Nadu, Kerala. When Naatu, Naatu won the Oscar for choreography, there was a whole lot of sniggering from this group, about how Oscar's were getting dumbed down. Even otherwise Telugus have been doing successfully in NEET, JEE, UPSC at a national level, dominating the IT sector, and nowadays making their impact in US politics too. CBN made a harmless statement about Gukesh being a Telugu guy, and all the Tamizhs were seething about it. Of course earlier many Sanghis too were making jibes about Andhra Pradesh being Christu Pradesh, how we Telugus are not true Hindus since we don't vote BJP. But now since Central Govt is dependent on TDP support, and Andhra, Telangana saved NDA from an embarrassing defeat, they change tone. Actually it's Telugus themselves responsible for this, there are Telugu accounts who pull down fellow Telugus just to impress themselves. The problem is we have this crab mentality trying to pull down our fellow Telugus on basis of caste, region and that makes us an easy target for others.
