There is no denying the fact, that South is doing well. many of my friends & colleagues, gape the development., when they see the roads, connectivity, buildings, educational facilities etc, at Hyderabad, & Bangalore, Chennai & Kochi.. catching up fast..
But all this happened from past 15-20 years only. We dont have to think/go back discussing 100 of years.
The invest ment on education past 20 years, and enormous faith of parents, in good education for their children has resulted, in better careers, better facilities, large projects and thinking minds, who can demand local politicians, what is required for better living conditions and get it.
Education brings in development and higher levels of productivity, prosperity etc..
