This column is at http://www.rediff.com/news/2006/nov/13rajeev.htm There is no point in my reposting it here (unless rediff had edited something out, which they don't seem to have done.) I have been intrigued by some of the comments on both parts of this column. Let me say that I was merely celebrating the 50th anniversary of the founding of the southern states. I wasn't looking to put northern India down: if I were, I'd come straight out and say it, I wouldn't beat about the bush and be coy. No, I was just observing that the southern states have managed to blunder along and now seem to have a teeny-weeny advantage in a globalized world.
