Yeah, something doesn't add up.. wonder if property taxes go to state only or centre as well.

Don't talk about Goa. Prosperity in Goa is because of high-spending tourists. If tourism was not there, Goa would have been poor like most other Indian states.

^^ This is gold, quite comprehensively demolishes the rich south feeding poor north narrative built by pseudo-economists. Per capita, Himachal is almost same as TN, Haryana is ahead, Uttarakhand (Baba Ramdev?? ) almost same as Tamil Nadu. Sadly, my home state Punjab is losing out.. Sikkim is a huge surprise.

Btw, saneless you may want to reconsider Chattisgarh

Doesn’t matter.. why don’t other coastal states develop beaches and facilities, give tough competition to Goa. Btw, now I know why Parrikar went back to Goa.

Can the traditional attire of Indian women, saree be regarded as that common fabric? If yes, then it is literally a common fabric of entire India. I have heard it is worn even in Pakistan.

Arre fabric word is used there metaphorically.. like what's the common thread.. or what's the common stuff like ethos.

Try telling them that North's poverty and backwardness is due to conspiracy by the two southernmost states - TN & Kerala. Did you know why there aren't many engineering colleges and IT companies in North? It is because the concerned authorities are bribed and told not to give the permission (clearances) to open engineering colleges and companies there.

Please tell them and tell us how they react.

He was not my acquaintance. How to broach such topics with a stranger?

Moreover, tab ye sab mujhe maaloom nahi tha.

Bahut si baatein mujhe der se maaloom padi. Time pe nahi.

An example of how I got some info too late: I had access to authentic info regarding Kargil war. But as I trusted the Indian media then, I ignored and didn't care to ask more from this person.

Now after I am disillusioned with media, I want to ask the truth but that guy is not opening up.

That's the reason I go to Pakistani forums - in the hope of scavenging authentic piece of info. First hand accounts are the most authentic and reliable ones. I heard that non-Punjabis in Indian military don't face bullets easily etc.

Why I feel the over smart Tamils have been taken for a ride.. remember, divided we fall.

The loathsome Tamilians. Many people don't like them. Now this Overrated Tamil cricketer does a shameful thing. Watch the video till end. Naak katwa di. Aur umpire ka expression dekho.

on a more positive note , the indian army has to station very few troops in tamil nadu . there is no sign of revolt at all . so it seems that most tamils are content with being with india .

if you saw the dead silence and the stunned look on the faces of the tamil spectators in the chennai stadium when sachin tendulkar was caught out in a crucial test match against pakistan in 1999 , you would believe that tamils are indians .

on the flip side , tamils are not enthusiastic about joining the indian armed forces . this inspite of the fact that they do have martial tradition ; the chola emperors conquered indonesia and sri lanka in the ancient times and their armies invaded bengal , and the LTTE showed that even modern tamils can fight .
