Do we have an 'ism'?

I think we do. What '~thanam' is in Telugu at the end of many nouns made from adjectives, what '~thaa' is in Hindi at the end of those nouns, is the same as what '~ism' is in English at the end of the same. Then why do we hesitate to accept this sentiment? I think we should, by our instinct, well perfected due to centuries of life in the widest cultural and social diversity in this country.

  2. It was actually you that motivated me to write this post. You had once said, probably in emotion, "We have no ism."

    I am just trying to say that it depends on point of view.
