TN is a leading state in India economically/socially.

Really?
Thats news to me. Sorry. Dont mean to offend you.

I have been to parts of Tamil Nadu bordering Kerala, and there's a marked difference between the 2 states.
TN could have done much better with its vast resources, but its the tamilian habit of hero worship that made politicians larger than life. Jayalalitha and likes are literally worshiped in TN. Just why?

People are stupid and gullible in TN....what more is there to say. They can work in a factory but they need a modern day earthly deity to follow because the "theory/ideals" in the temples just isn't enough (or they have completely left temples altogether because of DK movement and found new gods in human form to worship/idealise).

In Kerala, communism and socialism is what has supplanted this hero worship ideology in TN. The phenomenon is there too, just different guise of it...and it doesn't look so bad appearance wise....but practical wise its a big problem in implementing a good solid economy compared to TN.

Thats why TN people are more stupid/gullible but work hard/without fuss compared to Keralites, who argue and bicker about how much they got to work....unless they leave to GCC .

When I mean TN is overall a leader economically/socially in India...I mean compared to average we see in India as a whole of course. TN bureaucracy is a lot better than its top echelon of same old stupid leaders and far above Indian average (though still much improvement needed of course).

Hahaha
You've nailed it.
"Educated" mallu is his own enemy.

I still doubt this.
If it's about economics you should visit Punjab, if it's about social indicators eastern part of India fares better.
TN is a behemoth of a state, which lacks good leaders...or so I felt.

Yah I said one of the leaders overall, not "the leader". Overall if you stack economic and social development, TN is balanced pretty well. Jack of all trades, master of none sort of thing.

To be fair, TN and Kerala have become stagnant in their development.

Yeah I've heard my bro go ga-ga about TN.
He did his univ in TN and he loves your state more than kerala, i have yet to understand why.

Grass always greener on other side phenomenon

Yes our temples are like no one elses. Just like your backwaters and vibrant cultural mix.

To be fair, TN and Kerala have become stagnant in their development.

How so? When you got near 80 - 100 % literacy rates, of course it wont be improving as much as those in 50, 60% range Or you talking purely economic growth? Its similar phenomenon when you got a higher GDP per capita to begin with, its tough to grow at more than 10% per year.

I love the structures, but unfortunately they are not maintained well.
Kerala fares better here too.

Depends where you go, but yah overall % wise I agree. Some DK govt thugs have even whitewashed temple walls that contained very old murals and frescoes according to my appa (I forgot which temple it was). The most popular visited ones are pretty well maintained and undergo frequent renovations, kumbabhishekams etc....this extends to even small community temples that can be quite old....and it depends again on the local significance/patronage.

The temples (even large ones) that do not get so many visitors are neglected somewhat, its true. Which ones did you visit that were like that?

 

[Levina]

Somebody told me.
I havent visited them.
(I told you it was my WISH )
