head coach Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Education is highly valued in the south Indian community, and is seen as a gateway to a better livelihood. Many of the nation's most prominent physicists and mathematicians have been South Indians. The population growth rate of these states is also beginning to decline rapidly relative to North India. Information Technology is a growing field in South India. Bangalore is India's Information Technology hub, and is home to over 200 software companies. It is often referred to as the "Silicon Valley of India". Chennai, Tamil Nadu ranks next only to Bangalore in the software exports in India. Tamilnadu was ranked as the best BPO desitnation in Asia Pacific. Chennai houses the automobile manufacturing giants in the country. More than 35% of heavy vehicles produced in the country, such as cars, buses, lorries, trains and bicycles, are produced in Chennai, and it is referred to as the Detroit of South Asia. The manufacturing units of BMW, Flextronics, Motorola,Dell,TVS,Mitsubishi,Ford, Hyundai, Nokia and Saint Gobain are some of the international players in Chennai. Hyderabad is a currently the most happening place in India. Hyderabad is the first destination for Microsoft Development Center in India. Hyderabad is known as Pearl City.

varun Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: South India is better developed than North India so many valleys :hic: I think education is pretty highly valued up north too, but not as much as the south. There is more enterprise in the north though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: South India is better developed than North India HC. Now do you want me to start a thread suggesting, "Bihar has more cultural history than all the South Indian states put together"? Whats this whole point of Southie-Northie argument bhai? South India is doing great. I say three cheers for them. Tomorrow if I need a job I would be happy to go to Bangalore or Chennai. I mean job might suck but atleast I shall have the best masala dosas and lovely ladies with long hairs and ample Ta-tas :hic: South India is doing fantastic. Rest of the country can certainly learn a lot from Hyderabad, Bangalore, Chennai etc. Good for them I say and Murthy for President. But down with such threads :mad: xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: South India is better developed than North India Mumbai and Delhi were already developed. So future development had to happen elsewhere. I heard now that some of the boom is slowly shifting east to kolkatta from bangalore, chennai and hyderabad. Good news is that there is progress country wide and sooner or later the whole country will be in biz with each having it's own special niche segment.

But down with such threads :mad: xx Lurker, I was not trying to project South Indians as the Indian elite rather have a look at what transpired at this widening gap between Southern and Northern parts of India. One of the major reason is how technology became a factor on bringing prosperity for the downtrodden in south. The Inclusive capitalism included people from the bottom of the economic structure in sharing spoils thereby making way for contributions to invisible masses. Entrepreneurs were eager to share their success through employee stock options and other methods. South India was able to translate successfully a socio-economic system. Not sure whether socialist influence paid any dividends here but it is clear that millions of poor people were not part of the development happening in north though traditional markets. What Information Technology has done is it has created a revolutionary model for the growth and development of South Indians and its people. It's now slowly spreading towards North in Haryana, Noida etc. These are some of the reasons towards the development rather than any notable contributions from political establishments.

THX_1138 Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Re: South India is better developed than North India No denying it but the gentleman who has started this post needs to be taken out and shot. Here we are reeling from after shocks of one communal uprising after another, and now this nitwit needs to add to the fragmentation of the country. This is just reflective of the poor discretion of the moderators. you protect the frivolous posts, and reprimand the vehement responses. i was beginning to lose faith in this site in the first week, and now my ill feelings about the mental health of some of the posters has worsened.

But just think, this thread is a genuine opportunity to discuss differences between North Indians and South Indians. Just pause for a minute and see what the fella is trying to say. He is saying, Notherners and Southerners are different animals. Different cultures, different work ethics, different morals, different priorities. I think he has a point. I've often wondered about this myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often wondered about this myself. dude i agree with you on that... had the title been "the economic disparity between north india and south india" i would have had more to say on the miracle of subdued capitalism in south india, and the benefit of a universal education system in kerela. and also reflected on the economic principle called the "dutch effect" which says that in the presence of large natural resources, human development and manufacturing development take a serious hit. case in point, bihar, saudi arabia, and just about every oil rich gulf state, resource rich sub-sahran africa etc. but the dude started the who point with a confrontational approach which succeeded in peeving off some other posters, myself included. and mind you i am not pissed since north india is infact inferior to south india in terms of economic reforms, but because this guy is driving a wedge through a country already held together by some unfathomable powers.

Man see how manupulative you could be. The idea is to layout a broad spectrum where you can base your discussion whether it be ecnomic disparity orcultural difference. The discussion could be on what you like or dislike about it. Dude listen, dont get peeved and get jammed out for no reason. Take it easy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the idea is to find a way to merge the differences not to compare each other. Listen to what Mahatma Gandhi had to say: "I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the cultures of all lands to blow about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any." That is the idea so that there is a free flow of economic progress and cultural heritage through out the country not specific to any part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandrake Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: South India is better developed than North India Southern states have maintained a healthy lead so far but there are certain parts in the North doing well...Punjab is probably the most prosperous state in the country....there is rapid development going on in and around Delhi.Jaipur is coming up as an attractive destination for IT.In the developed parts of the North-mostly Punjab,Delhi,Rajasthan...infrastruture is far more developed than in any southern state.As long as there is healthy rivalry between parts of the country when it comes to progress,I guess its all good.

Birbal3 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: South India is better developed than North India Kerala has the highest literacy rate in India...but is not as developed or rich as Punjab or Maharashtra... So education or respect for it is not the only factor...there are lots of other factors... One often over looked factor is that the South experienced much less societal upheaval from waves of invasions... unlike the North... it is more in touch with the original Hindu culture of India pre-Muslim and pre-British...rule...

Slowly shifting east ? This whole thing started in the east ! Bengal and Bengalis like RR Roy and Michael Madhusudhan-Dutta are responsible primarily for bringing the concept of 'education = good for your children' back into the Indian fold of thinking.
