While most of the northern states political parties in India are busy building (or not building, destroying, you may say, in some cases) temples and mosques, the southern states are building their technological might bit by bit. At the instance of the Andhra Pradesh government Google is expanding its operations in Hyderabad. The chief minister of Andhra Pradesh is visiting different countries to encourage IT investment in the state. Imagine Laloo, Mulayam, or even Badal doing this.
The northern states of Punjab, Haryana, UP and Bihar should learn from the southern states. Progress doesn’t only mean growing crops (that too, using obsolete methods) and pulling down other castes and religions: it also means systematic technological and industrial growth.
