Before you call southern states 300 years forward compare development level in Western UP and Northern karnataka or telengana in AP.
Karnataka is not just Bangalore and Mysore it also has Bellay Raichure , Bidar which are poverty striken and development level matches to that of eastern UP and Bihar.
Incidences of dowery related harassment is equally and even more widespread in Andhra and Karnataka. On the other hand if you want to compair urben infrastruture Noida is definately better then Bangalore. All these stories of South being lightyears ahead are fanned by regionalism and chuvanism. For your kind information highest growing states in India are Hariyana and Gujrat which is almost equal to China (10 %). Will it be correct if Gujrat or Hariyana starts saying that southern and northern states are a dragging factor ?
development level in rural western utter pradesh , Northern MP , eastern rajisthan is any day better then drought prone interiar karnataka, TN and Andhra. Its time southerners wake up to the fact that growth just does not mean city based growth fulled by IT and BPO it needs to be more broad based and equitable.
In my openion Gujrat presents best development model as it is generating a large blue coller jobs apart from white coller ones.
Disclamer : I am not a Gujrati and I am based in Bangalore

Oh yeah Gujarat. That picture that comes to my mind is Godhra and post godhra riots. Wonderful to see a person from a state which has excluded an entire community teaching us about broad-based equitable growth

If you are so much pleased with North, why the hell are you not going there. And how do you explain the Nathari killings. Its not just two persons involved. The whole system there is to be blamed. Your background is not from here and hence you dont understand the people's problems and sentiments. So, u dont have any right to talk abt our region. Before blaming it ask your self what have u done for this region.

Well said!!!. Let's try to stick to the issue that is on discussion and not get into pointing fingers. This forum seems to have become a place for bickering and it happens on almost all the issues. Grow up guys.

I am living in bangalore for past 6 years,Sure it has progressed in many fronts,but what i observed is that people have a inferiority complex,they are intolerable to other culture & society,The strong Kannada surge is not because of Cavery water issue but people want to overturn & conquer other culture mainly tamil & telegu which has stongholded bangalore in past few years.
We are living in a federal country where if all of us is united then only we can conquer the world.Both karnataka & TN are rich state,Why not they sit together & find some technologically advanced solution.If dubai can convert part of city into waterfuul canals& pons like in venice,why can't we do it.
And moreover judge who is 300 years behind,fact is that we all are 300 years behind the world,
Because of this domestic rift british has ripped india for over 300 years & to free ourself we had to shed more than 3,00,0000 lives.

If people of blore were intolerable as you describe, you wud not lived here for 6 long years. If you really want to know what intolerable pls visit chennai. For your kind information people here dont feel inferior. There is no reason for us to feel so, especially when people like you are our competitors.

What did you find intolerable in Chennai? The heat... I have lived in both Chennai and Bangalore for many years and found that people in both the places are friendly and very helpful by nature.
Your statements - "especially when people like you are our competitors" - themselves prove that you have a strong inferiority complex and not the People of Karnataka. Boss. pls remember that we are all part of India and if we start feeling that guys from other states are our competitors, then why are we crying hoarse when US or some other western country claims that we are taking away their jobs.
The fact is that most of the IT investment/development happens for and on behalf MNCs and overseas clients. Guys like you want their money and jobs given by them but dont want to share it with our own contrymen. What a strange and selfish logic!

And what did u find intolerable in blore.. the great weather, great people or the great jobs.. The word "inferiority complex" and "intolerance" were first used by one of ur konga first. That says who feels so..... and the same investments happen in TN also.. and let me hear wat have you shared with ur contrymen. what a foolish logic.

This is in reply to Mahesh's post. I NEVER claimed that Bangalore in any way is intolerable. Probably Mahesh needs to sharpen his reading abilities! Infact, if you see my post, i have clearly said that i have had very nice experiences in both Bangalore as well as Chennai.
Coming to point of sharing with the countrymen, I have helped friends from both Karnataka and TN to get jobs in both the places and have NEVER discriminated based on locale. If this is what Mahesh feels as a foolish logic, then let it be. I am quite happy to continue the foolish act of helping out my brethren. :) And i also dont have the nasty habit of calling my neighbours bad names!
