This crap man is either a bloody Tamil or a Telugu shit dravidian in disguise.<br /><br />Bugger, do you know that you Telugu Buntu is a African term and a suicide squad like them as you have mentioned. While the "Tulu Bunts" were ardent worshippers of Nag devatas and Lord Hanuman from who comes the term Buntu. Bloody, don't compare the Kannada-Tuluvas to mere African Telugu-Tamils. Go check out your faces and butts first before you speak. By the way, Tulu is none other than Halegannada. Understand, you bastard? If you didn't, come to me, a real Tuluva, I fuck and show youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8973162.post-757514640781848742007-03-22T15:33:00.000+05:302007-03-22T15:33:00.000+05:30Well, in Malayalam, cevakan(cekkon, sevakan=servan...<I>Well, in Malayalam, cevakan(cekkon, sevakan=servant) means soldier.</I><BR/>Dhanyavadagalu for the info!<BR/><BR/>Maybe before the appearance of a professional army, all servants of a king would take up arms whenever a need arose.
