yes..lets hand over india, bangalore and all other places to british. Bcoz they developed it right(as per ur logic). U moron. FYI, IT revolution started in Bangalore spear headed by Nr Narayana Murthy who is a kannadiga. U cant develop ur own place, and how come u have to come all the way to develop bangalore. Have some sense before posting such a msg.
Learning any language is good, but it shouldn't be forced on people & no regional language should ever be made the medium of instruction.
Earlier, it was Mumbai for mumbaikers, Now it is Kannada for every karnataka residents. Next it'll be some other city.
The main problem is actually developing one particular area to a great & disproportionte extent while neglecting the majority of remaining areas in the same state or even country.It should be strongly discouraged.
The best amenities of a state or even the entire country shouln't be limited to a few people who are lucky by chance to happen to be the resident of that particular region.
Good education, Best healthcar facilities, entertainment & similar amenities are accessible to a lucky few, wheras the majority are destined to suffer from lack of these.
No point in telling that Mumbai / Bangalore is supporting the nation by the huge tax it generates. No wonder much higher investments have been made in these areas to build them to this level. For that reason, any area where such high disproportionte investments would have been made would have reached the same level where Mumbai & Bangalore are today.
Finally, one gets the shock of life that after working in these areas, one feels an alien by another who just happened to be the resident by shear luck and chance.
The same thing happens within a state itself, where people of one (better developed) area tend to underestimate & think low of people who live in

Your observationn is incorrect. The central government has not doled out funds to Bangalore and Mumbai to develop them in preference to other cities. Kerala too is a beautiful state with many famous cities. It could have attracted private investment. Nobody stopped except the communists ruling Kerala.

india is an artificial state created by the british ... there was never any single centralised monolithic state like british india ! bharat-bhumi was a civilisational concept rather than a political entitiy.. it ws a loose federated collection of autonomous states.. each with its distinct way of doing things.. sub - cultures.. dialects and local opportunities and problems.. the common binding force was a common set of broad beliefs and values.. which are time tested and sustainable coz they came from nature.. mother nature and human nature.. sanskrit had its place of honour as the medium of higher learning and the pathway to the scriptures.. pali, prakrit, were widely spoken for day to day work.. deep south had its own traditions and dialects.. tribals had their own .. there were no forced imposition of language .. no reservations based on any extraneous factors.. there ws sexual freedom and creativity unlike christian europe.. elders, women, children all had their place of repsect and what they naturally deserved.. capabilities, contributions and entitlements were all naturally and evenly matched.. so nothing was needed to be enforced by artificial politically correct laws and police brutality!
