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.

CV, You are big disgrace to our country man ! I havent seen even a single tamilian initiating a fight between kannadigas and tamilians. But its always people like you. My native is Karnataka and I was brought up in TN. People like me know what its exact diff between these two and its nothing but BIG KANNADIGA EGO. You always try to drag your fight no matter what ever the topic is. Shame on you !

Dear CV,
First and foremost, your sweeping observation about contribution of Tamils to freedom struggle. For your info, C.Rajagopalachari, known as Rajaji was a Tamil. Lakshmi Sehgal of INA was born Lakshmi Iyer. Many Tamils were a part of INA of Bose and Muthuramalinga Thevar was a close aide of Bose and leader of Forward Block.
For your Information, this chap Periyar, E.V.Ramaswamy Naicker, was an ethnic kannadiga. You cannot dispute that.

few years back My uncle was tranferred to Varanasi from Vijayawada on promotion. Since first day, struggles started for him, there was no help from others in the bank as my uncle is from south. being able to speak english, they kept on speaking Hindi wtih my uncle. I dont say he didnt know hindi. but he was not comfortable with it. what do u say for this?

Dear cv yes I agree with u on some aspects but let us not forget the presence of the Brave Thumbi Regiment which came with the English to rid of Tipu to make you "peaceful" kannadiga a happy and "rich" man. Madras Sappers, the Madras Engineering Group has completed 225 years in Bangalore and is firmly in place in Ulsoor.They have lent support everywhere in the world.
Why could you Kannadigas not form something to come close to that honoured regiment, in 225 years, other than fighting with every neighbour, including your own be it Coorg or Uttara Kannada. Irli bidi, solpa adjust maadi - the new tower on Hudson Circle is a very wrong thing, an aberration, that was the right place for a massive subway, like Churchgate, to ease congestion. Is this what Visvewarayya desired?
If you see the subway of "Little India Station" at Singapore you will understand, how that government has honoured Indian history and motifs-for posterity -forever in stone. Kempegowda made human sized towers. All our politicians, mayors and their meanderings abroad have not brought back an iota of the goodness what is thought of India as a whole.Good wishes Indian

Hey CV, You are a BIG disgrace to kannadigas ..Your parents must be ashamed to have a son like you.
Just come out of your professed obsession for Hindi and rubbishing the growth in south just because of white collared jobs and making a comment that there is lack of enterprenuership in South. Update yourself abouth the groth of economy in India. North was bestowed with large quantities of natural resources whether it is a very furile lands under the plains of Ganges, Sutlej, Ravi, Beas, Yamuna, etc, or huge minerals and coal deposits. The entreprenuership we are talking of from the northen part of India is of those large Industrial Houses which had managed at Delhi in the Licence Raj to stifle competetion and with all support of the political system. The enterpreneurship remained at that level. While South inspite of its natural disadvantages and the vagaries of nature in the globalised era had been able to notch up growth due to enterpreneurship by a large number of people in the Service and Engineering Industry not just competing within the country but globally as well. I had worked in north south and in east and I can say that it easier to survive in south even if you do not know the local language as 3 language formula is implemented here

vii) The 'SIR' (South Indian -------) culture is still carried by these states from British Servants.
viii) In even MAURITIUS, they are seperate from other Indians because they speak only English and Tamil and not Hindi(very popular in MAURITIUS).
