I have lived in bangalore between 1970-1999.I have seen ,understood s.india.I have seen the change which has occured when in 1970 all s. indians used to look up to north indians.Mr Srinivasan ,perhaps wants to talk about the great dravidian intelligence and oneupmanshipship vs northern dimwit. The impression that we are great intelligent ,innovative,people is all crap.I can only say that south is ahead of north because you scrub my back i will scrub your back ,be it when they come to delhi looking for a job or getting onein usa/europe for another SOUTH INDIAN.The north indian is very broad minded,openly liberal he may joke but he feels the south indians are quiet and don't create problems. The only reason south india is progressing is because of NRI remittances to karnataka,kerala,ap and tn.Their is nothing big about getting back office IT jobs from USA .The effect of christian education and importance to english in s.india hence their easy employability abroad. The north indian is enterprising,bold risktaker ,broadminded,vivacious,fun loving and more interested in staying back in India. I have not tried to spellcheck my letter .IELTS band 8.5 er no TIME
