Tetool
1. insulting aryan-bengali slang for dravidian blacks or shudras. 2. literally, it means “tamarind”, the imli or tamarindus indica, a very sour dark fruit with black seeds.
when applied to dravidians, it refers to the blackness of their skins, akin to the black colour of tamarind seeds. it is offensive as it also refers to the sour & salty taste of the thick negro-dravidian epidermis (skin), which is naturally oily & sweaty as an evolutionary adaptation to the dravidian climate. the most offensive connotation, however, is to the pungent acidic odour exuded when the tamarind is distilled to create chutney, which this bengali slang phrase takes as alluding to the strong body fragrance of the negroid-australoid dravidians. this is then extended to imply that dravidoids have a “sour”, knavish or crooked character. dialectal bengali variants & differing spellings include “tentool”, “tentul”, “thethool” & “tentula”.
