"There is a simple question: Why? What is the reason behind the South's ascendance? An equally simple answer would be: tradition. Or cultural continuity. The South has generally hewed to its ethnic, linguistic, and cultural patrimony, without necessarily being insular. This is the very reason -- rootedness -- behind the South's current growth." This quotes is totally incorrect and miss guiding to the people. The reality is that comunism is adapated in south more & more. The English is the favourite than national language for south. More educated unemployed are in the south. More IAS officers from after indepedent of India are working at higher position in the central governments but due to their self goals whole system developed such manner that red tapped bureaucratic procedures which make our nation too too much much behind the other countries like Japan, Germany etc. (who have started from like nothing)
