yeah but apart from chennai, bangalore and hyderabad south is still quiet backward as far as industrialisation is concerned. compare it to north india where even small cities like ludhiana, jallandhar, mathura, gwalior, biwani, bokaro etc are industrialised not to mention cities in gujarat and maharashtra which are the leading industrialised states of india.
i am not a north indian but its high time south indians wake up from their fantasy. i think they are becoming complacent due to their arrogant attitude becoz of IT growth. only 3 cities in south are worth mentioning about compared to tens of cities in north. how abt spreading the growth of chennai, bangalore etc to other areas which are still backward in south. south indians, IT will not last forever so beware and think of other avenues of developing your rural areas otherwise a time will come when north will be the focus all over again.
the biggest crime any successful person can do is being complacent and praising himself forever. because ultimately it will lead to his downfall.
btw i am a south indian too if u r thinking of abusing me as a northie. ;)
