If north indians are so open minded and highly adaptive, let the bollywood make a movie which is fully south centric with all southie technicians and the let the movie become a national hit (blockbuster). when that happens, I will say India is truly united and each and every citizen & sub-cultures are respected equally.
If A.R. Rahman composes a punjabi centric music thats acclaimed as 'National' & if he composes a Tamil centric song then that is branded as 'regional'. I don't understand the logic behind this ?... that brings the question what is 'national' & what is 'regional' ?
I don't agree with the article completely because no state in India is completely developed. There are pockets in each & every state which are economically successful and developed.
Finally, I very much admire the north indians for their entrepreneural & leadership skills which a very average southie (not all) lacks.
