The south is doing better than the north, marginally, because of the lower population densities down there. The bottomline is, they're both not shining(!)
Gujarat is doing well economically too. Maharashtra was doing well. Just rate the statistics of Punjab, Gujarat, Maharashtra and the South. Gujarat and Maharashtra are unsurpassed industrially; Maharashtra's second largest city (Pune) is neck and neck with Bangalore - even climatically(!).
And everybody knows how congested Bangalore is. If you're tyring to tell me that hell-hole (with those eternally grid-locked roads and call centers with american accented young people) is the future of India, then we're in for a rough ride!
As a matter of fact, India is doing uniformly well (or badly), except for BI-MA-R-U and its derivatives - and the North-East, which fare far worse. BI-Ma-R-U for the lack of per capita resources and the North-East due to geographic isolation and illegal immigration.
Kerala is stagnant; it gets all its money from the gulf. Andhra farmers under Naidu were commiting suicide like never before. And our man almost built a F1 track. Great going.
