bismillah ur rahman ir raheem firstly all thanks to Allah of course , all southerners are educated whereas all northerners are barbarians living on the borders of civilisation. there is no way u can classify all of south as one . and we in maharashtra certainly dont want to be counted along with you people. ours is a different culture ,we are not dravidians .

Just for the record, I am a kannadiga. South is shielded by the Vindhya Range and the Narmada River. That is the reason why it wasn't invaded many times.
The great empire of Rashtrakootas according to Wikipedia was started by north indians, who came down south and mixed with the localites and nurtured the local culture.
North had Delhi, East had Calcutta and West had Mumbai to fuel the economic growth. It was the south which didn't have anything going for a long time until the digital divide came along. Rajeev was referring to this development in Urban area which may tickle down to sub urban and rural areas.

Yashwant,
actually no one here talked about North until you guys came along. Don't tell me you do not know how northerners treat southerners in north india?
As far as invasions are concerned. I f babr came to india and conquered the north in 1300-1400 then why do you think the mughals could never conquer the south?? It was because of the vijaynagar empire which for a two centuries kept the mughals and other muslim leaders out of the south. It was only with the advent of british that the south started going down.
Learn history before you talk. and don't talk as if you yourself fought all those wars. Stupid excuses for hating people!!!

HI Guys, Stop fighting.. we are one.. If south is shining then they should also draw plans for improving the rest of india, and meanwhile people in north should learn the ways how to improve economically. One thing i want to make it very clear , that due to multiple attacks in northern india, there has been a lot of loss which any body in south india cannot understand. Vijaynagar kingdom would have fallen in the very first day had it been in Punjab. But treat everybody as one and we are one country.
