You are right. Culturally too, North India and South India are very different. In most respects, North India is culturally more like Pakistan than like South India. Only religion is different between North India and Pakistan, but their attitude to life, including aggression and disrespect towards other human beings, violence against women, etc. is very similar. By contrast culturally, South India is much more focussed on economic development, education, health, etc., and in general the people in the South are more cultured and polite, and respect other human beings, regardless of their background (as compared to the North Indians who judge people based on their superficialities). The way things are going, eventually I fear South India and North India will split up and become two separate countries.

It's 2024 already (when we are writing here), and as of yet no such reports have officially been published by the Govt of India - which is supposed to be the most authentic data ever... this speaks volumes about the levels of "Transparency" and "Accountability" of this regime. However, when you browse through a multiple number of sources (in order to be more accurate/credible) available out there - including the UN Population Projection data and other statistical sources, everywhere you'd find Siliguri Metro area population surpassing 1 Million (and this is just for Siliguri Metropolitan area, not the entire Darjeeling district that Siliguri is just a part of - there are some small parts of Siliguri Metro area which also come under adjoining Jalpaiguri district, this holds good for all Metro/Big cities across the country - where Metro area is beyond just one single district). Mind you, the SIliguri population figure of 1 Million is excluding Jalpaiguri city (which is part of SJDA - SIliguri Jalpaiguri Metropolitan/Development Authority area). And this holds good for Asansol and Howrah as well (Asansol's population alone is 1 Million+ , and this does not include the Greater Asansol - Durgapur ADDA Metropolitan Area, which includes Durgapur too, a completely different city). Howrah is also part of entire Greater Kolkata Metropolitan Region or KMDA region (whose population is close to 2 crore), but individually as a city (on the Western banks of the Hooghly - Ganga Maiya) Howrah itself accounts for 1 Million+ population.

The decline in Tamil Nadu’s performance during the 1970s and 1980s can be attributed to the indifference of New Delhi. Tamil Nadu often clashed with the central government due to its unique socio-economic and language policies, which led to punitive measures such as reduced capital allocation and fewer investments in public sector undertakings. However, the situation improved significantly under Dr. Manmohan Singh and Mr. Narasimha Rao, who liberated Tamil Nadu from this detrimental dynamic. As a result, Tamil Nadu no longer had to plead with the Union Government for investments, and the rest is history.

[@cooldharan]

Main reason Tamilnadu's performance increased was because of good education and number of schools and colleges increased and people were aware of population issue and didn't focus on getting 4/5 children as they used to have in early years after independence .

There has been no discrimination...to be honest ( as a south indian myself). The data Sharad Raghavan presented clearly said that UP had 14.4% of GDP share compared to Tam.

Added Freight equalization policy by central government then had benefitted Gujarat, Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu, as minerals from Bihar ( undivided Bihar), Orissa were pulled out without tariffs to benefit south and west.

The reason for Tamil Nadu's lag before the boom was because the Dravidian parties were laying the ground for it. The improvements in educational opportunities and policies empowering various castes eventually powered growth when economy liberalized. It continues to benefit from this diversified growth. If not for the lag in IT sector and slowdown of textiles in the last decade TN would have retained it's educated youth who are now going to Bangalore and low skill workers from moving to services jobs.

North indians and east Indians are clueless we even today on why South relatively grew inspite of zero support and anti South stance of union governments. Its because of one reason know as social equality and inclusive growth. Explaining it simply, if in a house there are 10 children and if the father discards 8 and takes care of 2. After 20 years only the 2 will earn and rest 8 would have failed in life and the home would be poor. . Now if the same father had taken care of all the 10, he would have produced 10 earning members and the house will be rich. This is what is happening. North ignored the 80% of the obc+sc-st and the oppressed. Only the 20% brahmins + other forward castes enjoyed. So the entire states like UP, Bihar, MP etc, only these 20% contribute to economy is a meaningful way.
