India’s two halves have strongly disparate interests, demands and expectations. Healing those growing divisions will be the constant task of future leaders.
The former AIADMK leader who launched his new party Thursday rose to prominence within a short period of time. His party flag bears a Jayalalithaa image.
The launch of Amma Makkal Munetra Kazhagam comes weeks after actors Kamal Haasan and Rajinikanth took the political plunge and amid the continued political churn in Tamil Nadu.
So far, 9 trekkers have lost their lives in Tamil Nadu. The group allegedly went without a guide and didn’t even take permission, despite recent forest fires.
This phase belongs to the ‘non-aligned’ parties. They could play a critical role in the eventuality of a hung parliament, which looks much more likely than it did one month ago.
About 300 employees had called in sick Wednesday, allegedly in protest against mismanagement of airlines. Remaining staff given ultimatum to rejoin work by end of Thursday.
Chiman Singh, injured in 1971 India-Pakistan war, was discharged as non-pensioner in 1972. In his petition, he states denial of pension is contrary to settled law.
Even in the weeks leading up to Chamkila’s assassination there were massacres every other day. To airbrush all of this is sheer intellectual cowardice if not a crime.
Ideas like this are very dangerous for unity of India but Central govt should treat states in a fair manner.
Biased, insensitive treatment of Central govt is the reason behind such ideas. There is a growing discontent among public that current BJP rulers only care for BJP ruled sub-section of India. Do we need bullet train of 1.1 lakh crore for Mumbai-Ahmedabad? Is it not making rich states more richer? If such large amount is spent on improving farmers lives through proper storage, warehousing, logistics and distribution channels, it can have positive impact on rural economy.
This is not based on facts. The author must quote the source for his claim that south is receiving less compared to north. Its entirely untrue. States are given money proportionate to the taxes they collect for the most part.
clearly a click bait article for which the writer cannot be blamed but yes the difference is there and i would congratulate the writer for bringing up this topic but the reason i call this a click bait article because it brings up a topic and then throws it into the gutter .there is a saying less information is always dangerous so mr sharma kindly give your fingers more workout and write more put the facts up or highlight links so the reader is well fed rather than just pinching the reader.
i do not expect for a better article because sadly journalism has also stooped down to the level of gun toting,foul mouthed holier than thou ,prime time entertainment netas.
pardon my english and my writing skills sadly u know better but wont work better
India will protect it’s sovereignty at cost sacrificing democracy, Army may soon be coming to theprint.in office.
When Army will breach your office UN, Free Press, Leftists, Good Pakistani won’t save your ass.
Freedom of Expression & Freedom of Press will shoved into your arses, better be prepared.
मिहिर शर्मा जैसे बेवकूफ बीजेपी विरोधी से यही उम्मीद थी. किन्तु शेखर गुप्ता से यह उम्मीद नहीं थी. इसी आर्टिकल में दक्षिण की जगह हिंदू और उत्तर की जगह मुस्लिम लिख दो. देखो देश में कितना बखेड़ा खड़ा होता है.
Need to ignore all commie ideas because they are divisive. However, one cannot ignore that states producing large number of goods and generating high taxes need to spend on Infrastructure and security. Both are ignored by Center because much of the money is diverted to poor huge states, where contributions are lapped up by corrupt politicians. All that is necessary to be done is Southern states need to be given back a little larger portion than is given right now and end this discussion
This article completely ignores the history behind the setting up of psu in south India. The industrialisation of parts of south India was achieved probably due to to freight equalisation. For further understanding please search for professor R Vaidyanathan’s video on this subject.
A lot of workers from North (Bihar, Bengal, Orissa) are working in South while a lot of workers from Tamil Nadu have been in North for decades. Since when has the 2 been separate entities?
I am a South Indian and so is my wife.
I find this article disgusting and divisive.
Mumbai collects 40 to 50% of India’s taxes and is the financial capital of India. The prosperity that this article talks about in South is just in some pockets. Mainly the IT sectors in Bangalore, Hyderabad and Chennai.
While defense industries and many Scientific establishments were put up by the Center in South for logistic reasons, the finances to run these come from the Center which is in New Delhi. These institutions include the DRDO, IIT Chennai, IIM- Bangalore, Indian Inst of Science etc etc.
We are Indians first and then only North or South Indians.
Such articles should not be allowed to be published as it smacks of ignorance.
This is a very childish analysis. I understand that the Southern States tend to lose on tax revenue distributions. However, this article underplays the importance of Government of India backed PSU’s and enterprises in the Southern States. Barring Karnataka the Southern states have an excellent railway network. Better than most Northern states. What happens if Indian railways pulls out of the South and forces these states to come up with their own Railway corporation? Their economy will collapse. Likewise, Bengaluru is blessed with several PSUs such as BEL, BHEL, ISRO, ADE/ADA, HAL, NAL, IISc in addition to huge Indian Army and Airforce bases. If GoI pulls out all of them what will be the unemployment rate in Bengaluru???
At the bottom there is written
– Bloomberg view at the same time it is also written “This column does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the editorial board or Bloomberg LP and its owners.” So have you lost your mind how is it possible both at the same time. Have you lost your professional ethics or you also want to become zee, republic, or etc media House even you are not sure who has put these views. First go and get some study. You can’t write anything on your own whims and fancies.
As they say ‘garbage in garbage out!’ Shekhar Gupta feeds on crap every day and spews it out every day. Whoever this Mihir Sharma is, he must be feeding from the same trough.
I recommend severe beatings to the entire staff of The Print for publishing such divisive and hate-mongering messages.
Feeling sorry about you.
It clearly reflects maturity level of your mind which is certainly in nuance phase.
You must not forget that north indians are also part of that so called tax payers from south and moreover south india is privileged with natural resources and north india with farming lands, so how can you easily concluded that rest of country is burden over south india.
Anti national are there in south, Punjab and North East. Lots of funds are coming from foreign countries and there is no shortage of paid writers like him.

Armchair analysis at best. Far from reality and more hype than facts. Articles like these tend to belittle true journalism.

As usual, another article by presstitutes
This article is a fragment of mischief with divisive agenda in mind. Better ignore it.
At the bottom there is written

Just one word for Shekahr Coupta and Mihir Besharma: “FUCK OFF”
This is an article best ignored and dubbed as anti national. Media should help unite the country, not divide.
As they say ‘garbage in garbage out!’ Shekhar Gupta feeds on crap every day and spews it out every day. Whoever this Mihir Sharma is, he must be feeding from the same trough.
I recommend severe beatings to the entire staff of The Print for publishing such divisive and hate-mongering messages.
