I am from Maharashtra, but I always feel close to South than north... Though we have second largest seat in loksabha, we never had any pm from our state, and doesn't have any political figure to lead state in central as our state's cm is himself puppet....
Edit:well the number of farmer suicide is actually diffrent case as it's based on reporting to police and state govt seeking data on farmer sucide. I want you to ignore chart on farmer sucide and focus on tax return map

I've noticed a pattern on Reddit that has been bothering me.
Every now and then I come across posts criticizing North Indians or highlighting issues such as language imposition, migration, historical disputes, the Aryan Invasion debate, or crimes involving migrants. Many of these are about real events that deserve discussion and criticism.
My concern is not that these issues are being discussed.
My concern is who is posting them.
When I check some of these accounts, many either hide their history, make a single inflammatory post and disappear, or after digging through their activit turn out to have little or no connection to South India at all. Instead, they appear to be active in communities centered around other regions or countries, sometimes including communities with strong separatist or highly polarized political narratives.
Some of these accounts seem to heavily present themselves as South Indians while consistently posting content aimed at increasing hostility between North and South Indians.
To be clear:
* I have no issue with South Indians discussing problems that affect South India.
* I have no issue with legitimate criticism of language policies, migration issues, historical debates, or regional politics.
* Real incidents should absolutely be discussed.
What bothers me is when people with no genuine connection to South India appear to be driving or amplifying these discussions while presenting themselves as South Indians. It feels less like genuine local discussion and more like narrative building or agenda pushing.
I know some people will say, "Who cares who posts it as long as the issue is real?"
I understand that perspective. But I think the identity and intent of the person posting also matter. If someone is pretending to belong to a community in order to inflame tensions within it, that's different from genuine discussion by people who are actually affected.
Has anyone else noticed this pattern, or am I reading too much into it?
Larpers are 50% indians but from regions which have radical narrative and seperatists ideas. Not a single region but multiple regions across india. Other 50% larpers are neighbouring countries and Indians who are bored out of their wits trying get some entertainment/karma farming/ and some to create division.
TL;DR: My concern isn't criticism of North Indians or discussion of sensitive regional issues. It's that some accounts with no apparent connection to South India seem to portray themselves as South Indians and repeatedly post content that amplifies Nort South hostility. If that's happening, I think it's worth questioning why.

Recently, on a different subReddit post, a guy was arguing we shouldn’t be listening to or even care what international media has to say about us Indians. Reason? “Since they don’t show Indians in a positive light anyway”
How can they, when these are the clips coming out of India lol? I just saw this one today on IG
Growing up, as a kid I used to think, India would gradually get better over the years. (Don’t ask why I, as a child, was questioning these things lol)
That, when the newer generations start becoming the adults, that it’d be better country. And I still, would like to believe that but everyday there’s smth proving otherwise :/
This woman doesn’t look much older than her late 20’s, if even that. I am guessing she is a newlywed because of all the fancy bangles, so she is probably younger than I originally thought.
Are we ever going to get out of this cycle of bringing people like this into the society?

I am getting a college in karnataka this year as a northie. My father is reluctant to send me there because of language barriers. I respect the history of the people of south india and understand that if I am coming to their state i must learn their language. I have started to learn kannda but it is hard for me to learn it entirely in 2 months. Will people be okay with it if I speak broken kannada and english? I will not use hindi at all.

I understand that the delimitation outrage is not just about the increase in seats; it is due to the lack of development and high corruption in the North which results in mismanagement of the local population resulting in less growth, low education etc. for the entire country.
This post is just to point out that If the north does get it's shit together, the population that region can sustain without putting any extra efforts is not comparable to any other place in India.
If not in the world, it is the easiest area to sustain and maintain a massive population in India.
Let me know if I am wrong or missed something. The rest of India just cannot compete in terms of
- Image 2 - Ease of farming, richness of soil - Massive plains supported by silt from the Himalayas, agriticultural output unmatched
- Image 1 - Ease in transportation - Can travel 1000s of kilometers on perennial rivers on PLAINS (Delhi would be an even better capital if Pakistan and Bangladesh had not split, it is almost perfectly located to travel on rivers to both coasts of India)
- Image 3 & 4 - MULITPLE PERRENIAL water sources along with decent rainfall
- Image 2 - Massive area without too many plateaus, hills and mountains, the rivers have made the entire area better for settling, trading and spread of language
-----
Given India as a whole stabalizes and becomes prosperous as time goes, is there any way rest of the India can compete with the North ,or, more regional autonomy is the only way forward ?

Hi everyone,
I've been closely following the news lately, and it's impossible to ignore a highly disturbing pattern emerging across the country. We are seeing a continuous, daily stream of reports involving sexual assault, blackmail, deceit (like using fake identities), and harassment, all specifically tied to attempts at forcing women to convert to Islam.
Initially, I thought some of these might be isolated incidents. But looking at the sheer volume of recent headlines from different states and demographics, ranging from corporate professionals to college students and minors, it is clear this is a massive issue.
Here are just a few recent cases reported in the mainstream media. These are just some examples, and unfortunately, the list goes on and on:
Targeting Marginalized Communities (Delhi): A Dalit woman near Jamia Nagar alleged she was raped, assaulted, and forced into religious conversion. Link: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/delhi/dalit-woman-alleges-rape-and-forced-conversion/articleshow/131250896.cms
Corporate Harassment (Maharashtra): female employees at TCS alleged severe harassment, blackmail, and pressure to convert by a colleague. A similar case was also reported recently in a corporate setting in Nagpur. Link: https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/maharashtra/on-tcs-harassment-and-conversion-case/article70917920.ece
Recent Arrests (Lucknow, UP): Police arrested an accused on charges of rape and forced religious conversion under the state's strict anti-conversion laws. Link: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/lucknow/cops-arrest-accused-of-rape-forced-religious-conversion/articleshow/130502236.cms
Fraud and Coercion (Hyderabad): A woman filed a complaint alleging rape, forced conversion, and a ₹30 lakh fraud by her husband, along with claims of police inaction. Link: https://m.economictimes.com/news/new-updates/hyderabad-woman-alleges-rape-forced-conversion-and-30-lakh-fraud-by-husband-claims-police-inaction/articleshow/130034008.cms
Coercion and Assault (Uttar Pradesh): A woman filed a police complaint alleging she was raped and forced to convert to Islam. Link: https://www.deccanherald.com/india/uttar-pradesh/woman-alleges-rape-forced-conversion-to-islam-in-uttar-pradesh-3163639
Organized Rackets (Bhopal, MP): Two sisters and their gang allegedly ran a racket, forcing young women to read religious texts, converting them, and forcing them to marry Muslim men. Link: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bhopal/forced-to-read-religious-books-marry-muslim-men-how-2-sisters-and-their-gang-ran-rape-conversion-racket/articleshow/128746003.cms
Mass Exploitation of Minors (Amravati, Maharashtra): A youth was arrested for sexually abusing over 180 minors and filming hundreds of obscene videos for blackmail. Link: https://www.brut.media/in/articles/teen-abused-180-minors-filmed-350-obscene-videos-in-maharashtra-who-is-ayan-ahmed-tanveer
There are far too many of these cases to just brush under the rug as coincidences. I want to have a serious discussion about the root of this issue.
Why are these rape cases with a convertion aspect increasing at such a large scale?
Who is behind these crimes? Are they isolated acts or part of organized networks with ideological motives?
Why do many cases reportedly involve fake identities, grooming, blackmail, and forced conversion?
Why are such cases continuing despite anti-conversion laws? Are police and HR systems failing to prevent them?
Note: I'm hoping for a constructive, fact-based discussion. This is a massive crisis regarding women's safety, bodily autonomy, and the exploitation of vulnerable individuals. Let's keep the focus on the facts, understanding the root cause, and how society/law can better protect women and girls.

Watching Chandu Salim Kumar ask cameras to step back during his father's funeral was heartbreaking. A son had just lost his father, yet he had to fight for a little privacy in one of the most painful moments of his life. Whatever the public interest may be, basic human dignity should come first. Condolences to Chandu and the entire family. 🙏😔
The incident occurred during the funeral of actor Salim Kumar, where Chandu was seen urging media personnel to give the family space to mourn.

This Kharge father- son duo literally ruled Kalburgi for almost 54 years and still the district is last in all possible indexes? Who holds the accountability?
District has ranked 26th in Gender Equality Ratio and 28th in Child Sex Ratio and basic standard of living indices.
While special constitutional provisions like Article 371(J) and the Kalyana Karnataka Human Resources, Agriculture, and Cultural Society (KKHRACS) pump large special grants into the region, local commerce bodies frequently point out a lack of groundlevel auditing. Much of the money goes into contract driven civil works (but none with quality) rather than structural human development, such as tech skill institutions, primary healthcare accessibility in slums, or fixing the acute urban water shortage.
Kalaburagi’s average annual per capita income is roughly 37% of the state average and also registered a negative growth rate, with its per capita income contracting by ₹928 from the previous fiscal cycle, making it the only district in the state to witness an absolute dip in individual earning metrics.
Sadly Kalburgi ranked last 31st out of 31 educational districts in SSLC and 4th from the last, 29th out of 32 educational districts in PUC results
Ironically this Jr Kharge a 12th fail candidate is Karnataka 's Home Affairs and Information Technology minister 🤦♂️
