Since the CONgress got voted in Karnataka and Telangana, there has been hajaar debate in India on North and South Indian voters and how North and South Indians are inherently different.
So, I thought I might as well list a comparison between north and south Indians.
Here goes:

******************
In short, they are both hypocrites, shallow, and generally xenophobic, racist, and painful.
Being an Indian, I have lived in both - North and South.
And my experience of both has been good or bad, independent of location. It has always been about the people.
On a more serious note, i think the fact that South Indians only read English media, which is funded extensively by George Soros, and they have a much higher religious conversion rate than North India, has a lot to do with the victory of the Congress than any real manifesto reading. No one put that education to use reading any manifestos.
