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.

First you have to understand the fact that Hindi is NOT our National Language. As per the constitution, Hindi and English (AND ENGLISH) are our official languages. There is no official National Language as such for our country. You guys just read some junk GK book and browbeat foolishly that 'Hindi is our National Language' again and again - without knowing the fact.

Oh so Mr Vijay, u mean to say whoever believes hindi is our national language has read some junk GK book, in that case maybe the GK books in the 4 south states are different frm the GK books in other 26 states, cuz every1 in north, east, west of indian believes hindi is the national language. Maybe its you guys who are reading some junk GK books, or just coming up with stories of your own. And its south ppl who have said stuff like "to hell with hindi", and "bullshit hindi".. i didnt see any1 talk like that about any of south languages. If something is said against northies,, u call it "talking against hindi aggression", if some1 says rubbish about south, u call it "anti-south".. well i see things the other way around, ppl here are either "anti-hindi", or "handling south aggression"

What is 'South' and what is 'North'? If south is do's well or north, the final comment from all of us should be INDIA is doing WELL. We might be telugu tamil, kannada, malayalam or hindi, but together we are INDIANS................

When our beloved Dr. Rajkumar passed away I put on Hindi news channels. The breaking news there was that :Dance bars will reopen.
Nearly for 2 hours no news about Dr. Raj was carried there. These bullshit channels woke up when buses were burnt that night. Meanwhile I saw BBC World releasing his death news in bottom line.
For this hell like treatment we have to learn hindi. Hindi news channels show bullshit of Kumaraswamy's vastu, jyotish. That why hindis can't digest this article.

CV, ur one crazy dude! I have been staying in karnataka for a long time, and i can tell u one thing frm my experience their, i have never seen any kannadiga disrespect hindi, or north indians like you do, they are some of the best people in india. You are just one of a kind, and acting as if u represent the entire karnataka state, dont do that cuz all ur managing to do here is spoil ur state's reputation.
