I have been in south for quite sometime. I have been in kerala and Bangalore for studies and jobs. I personally do not believe that the south or the north are better than each other and we can not come up with any particular answer to that. Bu what makes me sick is that you being an Indian (and for that part many more, though not all south Indians whom I know), you are glad that south is making progress. However you might not have written any article if north was doing better.
You go on mentioning that the tradition/culture is kept intact in south as against North and that China has no forgotten its culture and so south is developing faster. Can you provide some facts on what is progress as per you. 10 days per month strikes in kerala? If you are talking about karnataka, can you tell any other business center other than Bangalore an perhaps Mysore. Bangalore has had geographical advantages as well. Bu civilization wise, I really do not think any of these states have improved. If in the name of tradition, you consider abusing people from elsewhere, including you own country some sort of progress, then it just makes me sad that south is doing well.
