One of the great things (in fact the greatest) about Infosys is its large bench strength. These creative but khaali people have no other work but to start any weird discussion on the Bulletin board.
This is one of the best discussions I have read. Truly POWERED BY INTELLECT.
To enjoy it, start reading it from bottom.Enjoy the discussion in Infy's KEC general public folder....do make sure to read from bottom to top to get the maximum fun .... (for the uninitiated, this discussion started with the simple question, "what is maithili?")

We sit before the monitor staring into the pixels, making faces the whole day like monkeys.
And you claim that you are not in this monkey business?

Your theory only proves that Software engineers are not aryans.
Therefore they can be any thing other than aryans and not only dravidians.

B'cas only teachers (arya's) are aryans. So all software engr's are dravidians.
All Infoscians are software engrs........Hence the proof...

How logical!! Now I could easily prove that even Africans are Aryans. They have 10 fingers- so they are aryans. They have 10 toes on their feet - so they are aryans.
Thanks for proving that all are aryans.

Indians invented the decimal system. Ravan(Jew) had ten heads, Ram's father(aryan + German)had ten chariots (Dash-rath) etc. Thus , the base is 10. Therefore they are all Indians

According to maxmuller, Aryans came from Middle East. According to Bal Gangadhar Tilak, Antarctica was the home place of Aryans. And Swami Dayanand Saraswati says Aryans were originally from India b'coz the place "saptsandhav" that is described many times in their book is nothing but Doab region between Ganga & Jamuna. And One theory according Bhagwandas is that Aryans were originally from India then they went to middle east and after some time they returned back to India.
So there are different theories about the origin of Aryans but recent
belief is that only India was their native-land.

So, at present we are at a point where MK's son is a Russian, implying MK is a Russian. MK is a ardent follower of Ravan who is a German Jew. Looks like the german govt running Karnataka (see our previous discussions for a proof of it) is conniving with the Russian govt at Tamilnadu (who support German) to fight the Italian Govts reps at 10 ! Janpath road.
Some heavy international politics we have going on here. Wat's d'ya say man!!

Say this to the DMK and they're gonna kick u!! according to them ravan was a dravidian and was attacked by ram as ram was an aryan. So if ram was a german, and assuming he was a 'hitlerite 'aryan, then ravan must have been a jew!!!

No, on the contrary it proves that Ravan was a German since it was he who owned the Pushpak Viman. The passengers could belong to any country.

After defeating ravana .... Sri Rama flew back in Ravana's pushpak vimana & This is what the Mordern Lufthansa is . It is the modern version of the older pushpaka vimana. The pushpak vimana was "driven" by hansa or swans....The insignia of
Lufthansa is also a swan... This further proves Sri Rama was a German
Hail Rama ....

Maithili is a language which derives it's name from the region in Bihar where it is spoken, the old kingdom of Mithla. There is a reference to the area even in Ramayana- Janak( Father of Sita) was king of Mithla and has been referred to as MithlaNaresh at many places in RamCharitraManas - therefore Sita was also called Maithili.

Maithili is a language spoken in central bihar. It has its own literature. It has its root in the old kingdom of that area. It is similar to Hindi.
