While there are copious references to Tamils, even Keralites and not to mention Andhras, only one reference to Karnataka. We are undoubtedly the laziest of the dravidian tribes. I am sure most of them did not even know that a Mahabharata war was taking place. Fit for producing beauty queens and nothing more !
Of course, given one more chance, I would prefer to be born as a kannadiga only ! -:)
