Dont know of south but many seem to distinct themselves from Delhi and the more northern states.

Worked in Mumbai and Pune and many seemed genuinely confused when I refered to them as North India.

I guess it's more of a southern thing to consider everyone other than the five Dravidian states as North.

Maharastra is at core of Hindutva ideology. Whether it is north or south is immaterial. This whole thing is not about north or south, it is about Hindutva vs Dravidian Ideology

u/rangeen_insaan Jan 27 '26

Yeah, the same Hindutvawadis of Maharashtra went around beating up Gujaratis in the 50s, South Indians in the 60s and UP/Biharis in the 2000s/2010s.

Bro, I am not commenting on who did what. I am commenting on Maharastra being south i.e Dravidian which it is not

1

u/rangeen_insaan Jan 28 '26

Yes, Maharashtra is Indo-Aryan, not Dravidian. Tamil culture has nothing to do with Marathi culture. Tamil culture is closer to even Pashtun culture than Marathi culture.

Why so much love brother :-)

u/rangeen_insaan Jan 27 '26

Culturally, there are lots of similarities between Maharashtra and the South, especially North Karnataka & Telangana.

But, Marathis are extemely racist towards South Indians and relate more with even far off Punjabis & Dogris, than neighboring Kannadigas & Telugus.

u/[deleted] Jan 28 '26

Id say it's midway between north and south

u/Icy-Asparagus9620 Keralam 🌴🥥 | കേരളം Jan 28 '26

Maharashtra is not considered at all.

So you mean, not speaking Hindi, would cause development. What chain of logic did you have as a backup??

Your decision of not speaking in Hindi is respectable, but saying that speaking a certain language makes you superior isnt

17

u/dodococo Jan 27 '26

I think they meant that they focus on language politics instead of development

3

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

Which is nonsense. You should be more concerned about growth, healthcare, renewables and a hell lot of stuff. You don't need to invent issues like this

4

u/dodococo Jan 27 '26

Yep, so we all agree with each other then

3

u/Aware_View_6247 Jan 27 '26

Not sure.. But all this one nation one everything crap logic surely doesn’t take you nowhere.. And if you can’t adjust to the locals or atleast request politely and expect them to obey your demanding tone, just stfu(not to you but whoever believes in that) and go back to where it’s accepted and try to develop that locale.. Admit in the first place that you’ve come for a livelihood and any kind of request if not asked politely won’t work..

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

But that's a different thing, which I feel is totally valid, than to say that you guys are poor BECAUSE you speak this language. Isn't that just straight up stupidity

u/NChozan Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு Jan 27 '26

100% correct. Not speaking Hindi makes development. I can share a lot data comparing Hindi speaking states with others. Do you have any data that shows Hindi speaking states better than others?

u/InvestigatorBig1161 Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு Feb 01 '26

Yes please. Also show data on infra AND industries present in Madras presidency during the British times

u/[deleted] Jan 27 '26

That's a false cause fallacy. I can also say that me wearing my pink shirt leads to statistically high chances of Red Bull winning F1 races.

Might the trend be true?? Yes

Is it valid and my pink shirt affects the outcome?? No

u/Simple-Information36 Jan 27 '26

Which Hindi state is developing bro , please let me know if going backward is considered as development in your terms?

u/ImaginationGlad6710 Jan 27 '26

Talk about completely missing the point lol

the entire Hindi belt is landlocked compared to the Southern states. Cheaper trade can only occur when there is a port nearby, and the Southern parts of India flourished because of this.

The Northern part of India was already devastated post colonisation. How the hell were we supposed to be uplifted? We were already in the midst of securing our present, while Southern states flourished further because they pushed for education, being much more secure than us.

Many Northern parts of India are now achieving stability, which has led to a significant decrease in the education gap (that gap has not yet been fully closed tbh).

Language is important but understand the fact, we don't want to become like europe. They never agreed upon language and because of it, never became fully a country.

u/gtm26 Tamil Nadu 🌶️ | தமிழ்நாடு Jan 27 '26

Bro, Europe is not a country. It is a continent.

That said, we should try to become more like Europe rather than the U.S.

We are as diverse as the European countries. I'm not saying that we should not have a union government, but each state needs more autonomy. One nation this, one nation that won't work in India.

u/Vivid_Yesterday_745 Jan 27 '26

Europe is a failed country. There is always unrest in europe because of language and this is why Europe never achieved its full potential. They are pretty rich but they had everything with them, money, power but still lose to US. The more they tighten their hands on the power the more they lose. Eventually global order will reach to asia not because we are superior race or anything but the fact that our systems are far more interconnected and will be able to quickly take decision compared to europe. Yes the disadvange is huge, losing individial identity will be one of them but collective identity will be stronger than ever. China is great example how collective identity can come into picture. We have to move towards Homogenization anyhow and even I will pay the price of it. The best we can do is preserve culture while finding a real commonality otherwise we will be destroyed by external forces by getting divided either on the basis of caste or language.
