It is interesting to me that Southern India hasn't broke away from the north yet. They are far richer and developed, yet almost completely voiceless in New Delhi despite being heavily milked by the North. They have different cultures and languages as well, and the concept of an unified South and North India is almost completely a British construct intended for ease of their colonial rule. On top of that, in my experience, the Southern Indians are far friendlier to China and are reliable business partners compared to the Northerners.Also one overlooked aspect of India is their north/south divide. Their southern states are pretty much carrying their economy while all the bad stereotypes come from the north. Tamil Nadu for example has a GDP per capita of over $5000 and boasts a GDP growth over 10% last year. India ought to pay more respect to the South and learn from them but what‘s happening is the other way around with northerners being smug and pushing their culture/language onto southerners.
