Why southern India is more resistant to Modi's Hindu-centric politics
People were very enthusiastic and very electrified when they saw our honourable Prime Minister personally and definitely we are growing and Lotus is going to bloom in this Dravidian land. They have all planted seeds of self respect, rationality and federalism. That’s why it is very, very difficult that I can say vouch that BJP can never make any inroads in Tamil Nadu and southern parts of India. In North India for instance, pitting religious religions that is Hindu against Muslim probably works. But in Southern India a bigger divide happens to be well Hindi versus non Hindi right Like its almost on par and you know to you have to cross that barrier and if you have the conception of a Hindi speaking unified civilization in the reason why you exist, that becomes a significant barrier for you to cross.
