Sir, Your article not only reflects poor logical and analytical abilities, but it also a notion which the pseudo nationalists would want people to believe.Are your assumptions supported by evidence?
1.What about Egyption, Mayan,Inca civilizations? 2.What culture does Australia,US,Canada,tiny Singapore has? 3.What happended in this country some 200,300 years back,when we were clinging to OUR CULTURE even more? The south or west is doing well because of number of economic,social,geographical facors except culture.It is also futile to talk about such things when the disparities amoung the people are widening at an alarming pace.I am also happy and proud to see Indian companies doing well and aquiring firms abroad. But the point here is there is no purpose in glorifying the corporates when the country has the largest illitertes in the world,low ranking in Human Development Index(along African Countries),etc. Are you aware that Srilanka has better indices in spite of civil war for 25 years? Therefore, the need of the hour is to talk about Improving the standard of living of the people whether Northeast(why you people always forget them?),north,West or South.
