This tells you that individual longevity way beyond the overall life-expectancy is restricted to a minuscule percentage of people, and mostly a genetic lottery. Whereas, the steady increase in the baseline life-expectancy can be directly attributed to advances in modern medicine (antibiotics, vaccines etc.), hygiene, and agricultural yield. While history focuses on kings and queens and soldiers and conquests and glory, the fact of the matter is that life for the common person has improved by leaps and bounds since the turn of the 20th century.

But, long way to go in improving living standards for all.

Not convinced with this Kerala model story HDI is most important metric at least among developing nations with lower per capita income to determine standards of living and social indicators. There is a reason UP Bihar are called Indian equivalent of sub Saharan Africa. Mallus need to be hyped more. There might be more resources being pumped in B'lore but it didn't improve living standards of rest of K'taka which is reflected in its poor HDI compared to neighbouring TN Kerala.

I visit Kerala almost every time I go to India. They have very basic infrastructure, no good roads, their RTC buses are in such poor state, hardly anybody stays there for education or jobs. Their low density of population helps improving HDI. HDI is not the only index, GDP, jobs, education, hospitals etc are to be considered. Can’t compare it with Ktaka in terms of state economy.

This is Very intresting coz neighbouring K'taka and Mallu land have extremely high percentage of Inter caste marriages. TN is still set in old ways contrary to popular opinion

TN is still set in old ways contrary to popular opinion Caste wars are not as bloody in Karnataka/Kerala as in TN. Rural TN is riddled with casre wars. In Kar, there are caste issues, but never that bloody. Even in AP, it is bery violent as much as TN. In urban areas , inter-caste marriages are very common. A lot of mixing is happening. Even in my extended family/relative cirle, all of my younger cousins have married outside of caste. Marwari, Reddy, Christians, Gujarati, you name it. It is not so in the case of TN as Tamizh nationalism is supreme even in urban areas. A family friend of ours TamBam (Iyengar) had their daughter into our caste , on her choice. The father died out of heart-attack and mother disowned her daughter. Anecdotal, but they are generally more rigid. A close TamBam (Iyer) friend of mine married a mallu collegue and his father never accepted him. But, most mixing is happening in UCs only, I doubt any of the data on that Infographics show inter-caste marriages with Dalits and lower castes. Even Dalit castes have a hierarchy and they are more rigid than UCs in mingling. Edited February 28 by coffee_rules
