Southern states strictly followed population control measures This makes ,them to have higher per capita income .High literacy increased rational thinking of south people and made them so matured This is the main reasons Your reasons are only secondary
West and South always had visionary leaders and Maharajas . Their bureaucrats delivered. Education was always a priority since the mid 19th century. Skilling of people was a continuous process and Christian Missionaries did a lot. This helped Kerala people quickly caught on to Middle Eastern opportunities. Excellent implementation of Mid Day Meal schemes helped states like TN , Kerala to improve literacy levels. A combination of N Vittal, Bimal Jalan, S M Krishna created the beginings of massive IT Sector in Bangalore followed by Andhra, Maharashtra, TN . This growth still continues.
Let’s be clear. South India as a separate country would be richer than ASEAN. There’d be a SINR at 40/$ while North India would be side by side with Pak at the IMF
Unfortunately, South India does not have a single city or state which can match the standards of ASEAN countries. Are Bangalore, Hyderabad & Chennai or any other South Indian city comparable to cities like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok etc in terms of any parameter such as infrastructure, cleanliness, urban planning etc? I don’t think so.

This is so unfair to the south. This is undermining the southern efforts in so many levels. It should also be explained why the northern states are still lagging in development index. Are they not provided with any support?
I'm a Bengali from west bengal, born ancbought up in Meghalaya! The eastern part of India has never been integrated with India since 1947, it's only now that namo is trying his best to integrate eastern India with Delhi to further progress of India!! The southern states have mostly not faced any invadion from outside muslim rulers and have a strong community bonding ,this is except Kerala, they know how to oil delhi to get the money out for the development of there own community , and have kept themselves accountable to Delhi, they have agreed to work together amongst themselves to progress a d they have done good for there own states ,but with foreign investment came radical Islamic conversion to Islam and Christianity. But on the whole the tamils kannada Telugu have improved there states economy no doubt . The north and west have faced invasion from outside, it's not easy to stand on.your feet after invadion , however, considerimg this also the north and west also have agreed to work together and be accountable to Delhi ,states like Maharashtra gujrat haryana have moved ahead with this attitude, best wishes to both north a d south West Bengal is kept behind because Bengali hindu community cannot work together😁,i know,each Bengali will pull down its own breathern, but this is notbthe case with Bengali muslims, added to this Jyoti Basu took decision from communist angle, so all big industries shifted to south or west or north,the IT industry first came to west bengal from America, but as I said Jyoti Basu since he was a communist took decision as a communist and did not allow American IT companies. Tmc is no good, so west bengal is a poor state today. However, if eastern India integrates with Delhi, I see a bright future for Bharat barsh and eastern states as a whole

I think Indian states should be judged where they are against COUNTRIES not against each other. Indian states are as big as most countries. If you look at it that way, you will find that all of India is still lagging behind much of Asia.
Just do one economic comparison between states that has left and right government since independence, you will understand why certain part of india is lagging behind
so then, did success of population control measures in south india due to central govt wanting to reduce the population of South Indians and same way its failure in Hindi belt due to central govt wanting to Hindianize India?
Never seen such a selective reading in my life. Her jealousy can be seen from deep her heart. Simple logic here, if you cant replicate their success just claim that those success happened because of you. BJP is trying to create a hatered about south in north since they cannot capture their politics. Now BJP is in consolation phase, they are trying to consolidate their hindi heartland vote. This is their new political movement, south looted north to get rich. Will see this more in future.
Nothing but propoganda by a BJP member. Freight equalization scheme was available to all states. Why UP, MP, Rajastan have not developed? The policies introduced by the Union govt after 2019 have not given any advantage to the southern states. The development of the Dravidian states is the result of decades of hard work and social measures that played a significant role in bringing the Dravidian states to the present level. Who prevented the states like UP, MP, Rajastan, Bihar, etc to improve the educational levels etc. The narrator is presenting nothing but an apology for the failure of the northern states to develop. The southern states did not receive any preferential treatments than what has been available to all the states.

Madam Menakshi Lekhiiji, South India has been prosperous since beginning, right from Pulakeshi Chalukya times. India's decline coincides with the decline of South India historically speaking. South has done well on its own. This is not because of any Policy advantage.
1. Get your facts right, Ms Lekhi 2. Growth of South, is credited to its people - not to govt, state or Central 3. Growth of South started happening much much before Modi BTW: I am a person of North Indian decent, and I don't any political party affiliations. Capische??
Even after so much development, Karnataka contributes less than UP in Indian GDP. Even when most of the talented youth of other states have migrated to Bengaluru. Bengaluru has such shit infra that it can't even be compared to Lucknow, which is supposedly the best city in South
Karnataka already built by great maharaj and rajas and many goid political leaders. Not by central. Shivansamundra 1st hydroelectric project in asia . IISC college. HAL South india are growing because of there startgies and following law .
even though i am a big supporter of hindus and hinduism,, it needs to be pointed out as a southerner that ...THE PM OF GUJARATH, didnt give flood relief money even though begged him to do so,, we are the largest contributor for your tax kitty. and half of northern people are living and finding employment opportunities in south india in various forms,, yet PMO stole all new projects fom us and took it to GUJARATH & UP. NOT a single express corridor was announced, not a port improved and not a single large new highway was announnced, metro projects was stalled and bullet trains not planned, ... it is very shamefull.
Central government did not support Thoothukudi-Madurai corridor, which has been pending for 10 years. The project is key to the transformation of the Southern districts in TN.
Whatever she presented is a fairly a myopic view but I can confirm that South Indian states have elected governments in TN, Kerala and Karnataka that have now successfully created a ecosystem of haye . I am not quoting arbitrarily but have got into argument and discussion where many viewers outright abused.. me.. where this is going to lead as a nation is really not known. But can easily find out that we seem to be repeating 1925s . A divide rule approach happened or was clustered the same time leading to partition. Divide meaning dividing the hindu society.. Meenakshi lekhi ji s analysis is very lop-sided. She doesn't acknowledge the fact mid meal plan in TN was the initiator of education. That never happened in the North. only jaatiwad happened. At least now people are well informed. She did nothing else but बकवास
Its clear. Though print is left, anti bjp, favours opposition but when it comes to north and hindi language all these print, bjp, congress are one and same 😡😡😡jai regionalism. No propaganda please print
Common sense is that central policy applicable equally to all states. Not changing rules as per convenience to benefit only someone who is funded or supported
Panjab and Kerala and not mentioning Hindi states of North for per capita income especially UP and Bihar population equals to whole southern India. Karnataka except Bangalore city, coastal dists of Karnataka plus around Bangalore contributes 50% GDP and rest 25 dists contributes a little more than 50%. It’s bcoz lakh of education.
Southern states sacrifice a lot to be part of India, money, quality of life, their culture and language, but on the other hand northern states just take and take like a parasite, they need change from the core if they want to match Southern states
Its the southern states big hand that put cash in central government pockets. And CG claim the credit for the job they not done. How rude it is... We worked hard and you want the credit? If the BIMARU had put half the effort of the southern states we would have got a better PM...
Her entire analysis and reasoning shows her lack of understanding of how economic development and wealth creation happens. I had some good opinion about her earlier but she got exposed now with her silly and shallow reasoning. Sad print provided her the platform for this. By the way, I am a staunch bjp supporter.
Indipendent india 90 percent of time PM and cabinet minister came from BIMARU states . This BJP spokes person will minuse 10k print follower . Gujarat only ruled by PM the rest of the states ruled by CM .
The south took up education, health care seriously. Their success is over simplified. The same incentives and benefit of trade was provided to north states and no one stopped them from investing in edu, health. Failure of policy n plagued by medivial mind set is starkling in the now clear distinction in human devt index between the regions. Such big bro attitude n impending delimitation of seats will be interesting to see how the cohesiveness is well maintained. All provinces , princely states formed the union of India with a common goal as a nation.
In my opinion there humangous difference in perceptive of India vs Bharth, but the most of Indians live in peninsular India than in Gangetic plains, demographic dividend in south is possible only because English language and Rule of law which are not recognised by northern brothers that is drag here but places like Delhi and Gurgon go higher than many southern states with ultra modern English education but the BJP is bent on keeping Hindi speaking states at their by prohibiting adoption of English en masse
My sympathies are with you too. All those who brought resources (natural or intellectual) to the table suffered & those with numbers in the parliament usurped the fruits. Look at countries like Nigeria & Venezuela which are among the most rich in natural resources. Same happened to states with natural resources here too.
Congress favoured South India remember the freight equalisation policy, also South Indians secessionist and blackmailing attitude put congress on backfoot to prioritise the South Indian state, but when BJP came back to power. The central government shifted from being south centric to the pan India. Now you can see the infrastructure development in UP and robust growth rate of 11 to12% in Bihar after 2014. The eastern Indian states like Assam, Orisha and Bihar have become priority of Indian government because demographic dividend. This is the reason why Tamilians and malayali want congress to win the national election and Raul to become PM. So the central government become more focused on tamilians and malyali people
Freight equalisation policy was scrapped in 1993. We are living in 2024. 31 years have passed. What were these impoverished states doing? China took just 40 years to become an economic superpower. A lot could have been done in 30 years. By the way, South India experienced real growth only after Economic Liberalisation in 1991, thanks to Y2K bug and IT boom. Now, South India has a robust IT/ITeS sector. Maharashtra was the main beneficiary of freight equalisation policy.

West and South always had visionary leaders and Maharajas . Their bureaucrats delivered. Education was always a priority since the mid 19th century. Skilling of people was a continuous process and Christian Missionaries did a lot. This helped Kerala people quickly caught on to Middle Eastern opportunities. Excellent implementation of Mid Day Meal schemes helped states like TN , Kerala to improve literacy levels. A combination of N Vittal, Bimal Jalan, S M Krishna created the beginings of massive IT Sector in Bangalore followed by Andhra, Maharashtra, TN . This growth still continues.
Let’s be clear. South India as a separate country would be richer than ASEAN. There’d be a SINR at 40/$ while North India would be side by side with Pak at the IMF
Unfortunately, South India does not have a single city or state which can match the standards of ASEAN countries.
Are Bangalore, Hyderabad & Chennai or any other South Indian city comparable to cities like Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, Bangkok etc in terms of any parameter such as infrastructure, cleanliness, urban planning etc? I don’t think so.

BJP has no role in the development of South India. South got the benefits of LPG reforms as early as 1991 when Dr. Manmohan Singh started the Game Changing Economic Reforms. Its the combo of Narashima Rao and Dr. MANMOHAN SINGH were the architects of South's success story. BJP has no role at all. BJP cannot open its account in TN which is the second best state after Maharashtra ❤❤❤😂😂😂
This is so unfair to the south. This is undermining the southern efforts in so many levels. It should also be explained why the northern states are still lagging in development index. Are they not provided with any support?
I'm a Bengali from west bengal, born ancbought up in Meghalaya! The eastern part of India has never been integrated with India since 1947, it's only now that namo is trying his best to integrate eastern India with Delhi to further progress of India!! The southern states have mostly not faced any invadion from outside muslim rulers and have a strong community bonding ,this is except Kerala, they know how to oil delhi to get the money out for the development of there own community , and have kept themselves accountable to Delhi, they have agreed to work together amongst themselves to progress a d they have done good for there own states ,but with foreign investment came radical Islamic conversion to Islam and Christianity. But on the whole the tamils kannada Telugu have improved there states economy no doubt . The north and west have faced invasion from outside, it's not easy to stand on.your feet after invadion , however, considerimg this also the north and west also have agreed to work together and be accountable to Delhi ,states like Maharashtra gujrat haryana have moved ahead with this attitude, best wishes to both north a d south
West Bengal is kept behind because Bengali hindu community cannot work together😁,i know,each Bengali will pull down its own breathern, but this is notbthe case with Bengali muslims, added to this Jyoti Basu took decision from communist angle, so all big industries shifted to south or west or north,the IT industry first came to west bengal from America, but as I said Jyoti Basu since he was a communist took decision as a communist and did not allow American IT companies. Tmc is no good, so west bengal is a poor state today.
However, if eastern India integrates with Delhi, I see a bright future for Bharat barsh and eastern states as a whole

True. Union governments had a bug hand in putting blocks in the growth of states like tamilnadu.
After independence 7% literacy in tamilnadu
No concrete points . It looks like she is preparing for school level debate
I think Indian states should be judged where they are against COUNTRIES not against each other. Indian states are as big as most countries. If you look at it that way, you will find that all of India is still lagging behind much of Asia.
Good to watch Mrs. Meenakshi Lekhi as part of ‘The Print’ !
Just do one economic comparison between states that has left and right government since independence, you will understand why certain part of india is lagging behind

so then, did success of population control measures in south india due to central govt wanting to reduce the population of South Indians and same way its failure in Hindi belt due to central govt wanting to Hindianize India?
Good propaganda but it doesn’t work now
Never seen such a selective reading in my life. Her jealousy can be seen from deep her heart. Simple logic here, if you cant replicate their success just claim that those success happened because of you.
BJP is trying to create a hatered about south in north since they cannot capture their politics.
Now BJP is in consolation phase, they are trying to consolidate their hindi heartland vote. This is their new political movement, south looted north to get rich. Will see this more in future.
Nothing but propoganda by a BJP member. Freight equalization scheme was available to all states. Why UP, MP, Rajastan have not developed? The policies introduced by the Union govt after 2019 have not given any advantage to the southern states. The development of the Dravidian states is the result of decades of hard work and social measures that played a significant role in bringing the Dravidian states to the present level. Who prevented the states like UP, MP, Rajastan, Bihar, etc to improve the educational levels etc.
The narrator is presenting nothing but an apology for the failure of the northern states to develop. The southern states did not receive any preferential treatments than what has been available to all the states.
MP, Rajasthan doesn't have ports. That too at the southern tip.
@@himanshusingh5214if you have ports u r dependent on South india and South sacrifice to save you from rapists father of north Indian kids in pakistan
Madam Menakshi Lekhiiji, South India has been prosperous since beginning, right from Pulakeshi Chalukya times. India's decline coincides with the decline of South India historically speaking. South has done well on its own. This is not because of any Policy advantage.
1. Get your facts right, Ms Lekhi
2. Growth of South, is credited to its people - not to govt, state or Central
3. Growth of South started happening much much before Modi
BTW: I am a person of North Indian decent, and I don't any political party affiliations. Capische??
Ohh 😯😯😯 thankyou for reminding this 😂fools
Even after so much development, Karnataka contributes less than UP in Indian GDP. Even when most of the talented youth of other states have migrated to Bengaluru. Bengaluru has such shit infra that it can't even be compared to Lucknow, which is supposedly the best city in South
Karnataka already built by great maharaj and rajas and many goid political leaders. Not by central.

South india are growing because of there startgies and following law .
Concession is for all states but not all states are contributing to be nation growth
Why Northern states could not take advantage of the same schemes????
even though i am a big supporter of hindus and hinduism,, it needs to be pointed out as a southerner that ...THE PM OF GUJARATH, didnt give flood relief money even though begged him to do so,, we are the largest contributor for your tax kitty. and half of northern people are living and finding employment opportunities in south india in various forms,, yet PMO stole all new projects fom us and took it to GUJARATH & UP. NOT a single express corridor was announced, not a port improved and not a single large new highway was announnced, metro projects was stalled and bullet trains not planned, ... it is very shamefull.
Central government did not support Thoothukudi-Madurai corridor, which has been pending for 10 years. The project is key to the transformation of the Southern districts in TN.
Whatever she presented is a fairly a myopic view but I can confirm that South Indian states have elected governments in TN, Kerala and Karnataka that have now successfully created a ecosystem of haye . I am not quoting arbitrarily but have got into argument and discussion where many viewers outright abused.. me.. where this is going to lead as a nation is really not known. But can easily find out that we seem to be repeating 1925s . A divide rule approach happened or was clustered the same time leading to partition. Divide meaning dividing the hindu society.. Meenakshi lekhi ji s analysis is very lop-sided. She doesn't acknowledge the fact mid meal plan in TN was the initiator of education. That never happened in the North. only jaatiwad happened. At least now people are well informed. She did nothing else but बकवास
Why they is UP MP BIHAR Lagging behind ... there are bjp govts there, central schemes there then why?
Such hate mongers shoukd be boycotted.
Its clear. Though print is left, anti bjp, favours opposition but when it comes to north and hindi language all these print, bjp, congress are one and same 😡😡😡jai regionalism. No propaganda please print
Common sense is that central policy applicable equally to all states. Not changing rules as per convenience to benefit only someone who is funded or supported
No it's not equally applicable!
And yes rules were changed to benefit some over the other.
@@DyanSemthyfreight equal. South development by nris
Freight equilization policy has ended in 1993. south started developing after 1991.
Exactly. And also because of Y2K bug.
I fail to understand what this lady is trying to say.
Panjab and Kerala and not mentioning Hindi states of North for per capita income especially UP and Bihar population equals to whole southern India.
Karnataka except Bangalore city, coastal dists of Karnataka plus around Bangalore contributes 50% GDP and rest 25 dists contributes a little more than 50%. It’s bcoz lakh of education.
Southern states sacrifice a lot to be part of India, money, quality of life, their culture and language, but on the other hand northern states just take and take like a parasite, they need change from the core if they want to match Southern states
The Print also not Indian Media as usual North Indian media😂
Wow! Looks like she is reading out stuff from a bjp pamplate, rather than some so called research paper.
True, but the southerners had the ability to take advantage of it ... the north could nor > education

The south took up education, health care seriously. Their success is over simplified. The same incentives and benefit of trade was provided to north states and no one stopped them from investing in edu, health. Failure of policy n plagued by medivial mind set is starkling in the now clear distinction in human devt index between the regions. Such big bro attitude n impending delimitation of seats will be interesting to see how the cohesiveness is well maintained. All provinces , princely states formed the union of India with a common goal as a nation.
In my opinion there humangous difference in perceptive of India vs Bharth, but the most of Indians live in peninsular India than in Gangetic plains, demographic dividend in south is possible only because English language and Rule of law which are not recognised by northern brothers that is drag here but places like Delhi and Gurgon go higher than many southern states with ultra modern English education but the BJP is bent on keeping Hindi speaking states at their by prohibiting adoption of English en masse
Very good and informative video, thank you.
It’s the other way around. South excelled in spite of the negligence extended by central governments over the years..
Negligence?
After eating the mineral resources of my state for 50 years, u call for negligence?
Yeah caring on with ur I'M da best forever attitude.
My sympathies are with you too. All those who brought resources (natural or intellectual) to the table suffered & those with numbers in the parliament usurped the fruits. Look at countries like Nigeria & Venezuela which are among the most rich in natural resources. Same happened to states with natural resources here too.
@@DyanSemthywhich state u from? South independent on minerals. Your minerals went to Maharashtra haryana up etc. you stop your minerals
Yeah sure… all because of the benevolence of the central government…😄
Congress favoured South India remember the freight equalisation policy, also South Indians secessionist and blackmailing attitude put congress on backfoot to prioritise the South Indian state, but when BJP came back to power. The central government shifted from being south centric to the pan India. Now you can see the infrastructure development in UP and robust growth rate of 11 to12% in Bihar after 2014. The eastern Indian states like Assam, Orisha and Bihar have become priority of Indian government because demographic dividend. This is the reason why Tamilians and malayali want congress to win the national election and Raul to become PM. So the central government become more focused on tamilians and malyali people
Almost all India govt offices in delhi. Split rape capital and bring offices to Bengal upsc ias offices in TN etc
Freight equalisation policy was scrapped in 1993. We are living in 2024. 31 years have passed. What were these impoverished states doing? China took just 40 years to become an economic superpower. A lot could have been done in 30 years.
By the way, South India experienced real growth only after Economic Liberalisation in 1991, thanks to Y2K bug and IT boom. Now, South India has a robust IT/ITeS sector.
Maharashtra was the main beneficiary of freight equalisation policy.
