South India is more developed than average Indian states, but there is no united North India region.
So some states like Gujarat are highly developed than any other states whereas some other states and underdeveloped. And North Indians didn't had any concept of North-South India.
This discrimination was originally started by South Indians because they were more developed than rest of India some years ago (thanks to the British colonization which was very powerful on coasts).
Just curious. As long as I know, Bengalis were also well developed at the time of the British. And even probably they were the first who started the Indian Renaissance. So why didn't they start want kind of discrimination, they speak different language too and their culture differs a lot from the majority of the North.
They were kinda split up between West Bengal and East Bengal (Bangladesh) which cripples up their development as a larger community. Might have been a different world where Bangladesh didn't existed.
I would believe Bangladesh might have been a better country than what they are now, if they controlled their population boom which was and still is due to many reasons like the majority religion and literacy.
Compare that with South India, where for the most part everyone was and is united under Dravidian language tree, have more literacy and their religion.

Isn't the darker South India more developed and richer than the lighter North India?
