1. The author is talking as if "Indian" as "Hindu". But for the coming of Islam, caste system would've rotten this land.
2. As much as he argues for stability and prosperity of Vijayanagar, one could argue for the same parameters of Nizam's state or Tipu Sultan.
3. Like someone pointed out, I dont think Maharashtra, Gujrat and Punjab, which are doing pretty good.....are South indian.
4. It is true to some extent that southies are somewhat peaceful, friendly and cheerful when compared with the northies. But that is cultural difference unrelated to the article.
5. Progress is in the future. Singapore has a 175 year history....compared to 100000 or 10000000 years of the so called Indian Civilization.....and yet we all know which country is more prosperous.
As a personal tip, I want to say to the author that logic is one very important when articles are written.

Why the Sunnis and Shiites are killing each other in Iraq, and the Kurds already declared themselves independent!
Sorry What is it again about Islam you are talking about?
