Give me south india anytime. I love everything about them. The friendly people, delicious foods and travelling around their ancient forts and temples. Such an ancient land and history. Love from NE india.
I am from Delhi. For the past 4 years, I have been working in Chennai. These 4 years I have learned a lot about life and people. Tamil people are collectively sweet and kind to even strangers. Initially I had the ego driving me acting like as a North Indian, I'm superior to the Tamil people and did not care about anything. But the karma played it's drama in my life. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and our family decided to treat her in Chennai. It was one of the popular cancer institute in the country. In the 20+ months of journey, so many Tamil people helped my family and supported us a lot. That too, mostly strangers. My relatives and friends in Delhi, they did not even care about my mom's life. I am so grateful to this Tamil people as without them, my family would be in so much turmoil and we would have lost my mom.
The Kerala architecture including the temple architecture in the state is unique and very different from the Dravidian temple architecture found in the other south indian states as well as from the north indian temple architectural style. Also, I'm pretty sure that the food is more spicy in the South.
But i heared from some tamilians that actually only tamil was only davidian state but later they got divided into other 4 south Indian states. Bro may be i am wrong so don't get hurted as i am from north Indian and all these information i got from some of my tamil friends.
@@UECAbhishekKumar That is a huge misconception which the Tamils have successfully propagated through the last 100 years due to the false history that was inculcated by the Tamil Nationalist movements of the early 20th century. And since most of the speakers of other Dravidian languages are ignorant about their linguistic history, they believe it. The Sanskrit speaking Indo Aryans of the north called the southern part of the Indian subcontinent as Dravida. Dravida is a combination of the Sanskrit words Drav and Vida. Drav means water and Vida means part (of land). So Dravida means Part of land that is close to water or surrounded by water or that projects into water. In short, Dravida means Peninsula. And the language of the region came to be known as Dravida language, and the people as Dravida people. And different regions of the south spoke different dialects of the Dravida language. In the beginning, the Dravida speaking people didn't have names for their language. The dialects of the Andhra region evolved and separated from the Dravida language to become Telugu. Then the dialects of the Karnataka region evolved to become the Tulu and Kannada languages. The Buddhist monks were the first people to migrate on a considerable scale to the south from the north. Their language was Pali. In Pali, the Sanskrit word 'Dravida' was uttered as 'Damila'. And Damila corrupted to 'Tamil' in the dialects of Dravida language, because Dravida language didnt have the 'Da' sound. Instead, 'Ta' was used and the 'a' sound at the end was removed. But by that time, as the dialects of Andhra and Karnataka had evolved into different languages, the people and their languages were called by different names, not Dravida. So only the people of Kerala region and Tamil Nadu region were called Dravida (Tamil in the local dialects) at that time. Because, although the spoken dialects of the Kerala region had evolved into Malayalam, for centuries, the people of the region hadn't realized that they were speaking a different language and hence they continued calling it 'Tamil' until the beginning of the colonial rule, when they renamed it as Malayalam (Though, the Brahmins who had migrated to the region from the north around 7th century had identified that the Kerala people were speaking a different language from that of the people in TN region, and hence they called it 'Kerala Bhasha'). And for the same reason, the 1800 year old Sangam literature which was composed in a literary dialect that was common to both TN and Kerala region, wrongly mentions the Kerala Kings or the Cheras as Tamils, along with the Cholas and Pandiyas of the TN region. Please note that the oldest discovered Malayalam inscription which is the Pulimankombai rock inscription is 2200 years old. The word 'Kerala' is the Sanskrit rendition of the Malayalam word 'Cheralam' which means 'Land of the Cheras', and it is mentioned in the Mahabharata, and Ashoka's inscriptions of 3rd century BC. The words 'Dravida' and 'Andhra' are there in the Mahabharata, but you won't find the word 'Tamil' in it. Now comes the most important and interesting thing. The dialects of Dravida (Tamil) language spoken in the Tamil Nadu region were the last to evolve into a new language, but unlike the people of other regions, the people in TN didn't rename it, and continued calling their new language as 'Tamil'. This is what gave rise to the misconception that Tamil is the oldest language and other Dravidian languages separated from Tamil. The language that we call Tamil today, do not have many of the features of other Dravidian languages, nor do the other Dravidian languages have many of the features that are present in the language that we today call Tamil. There are many older words and features in Malayalam, Tulu, Kannada, and Telugu that are not present in today's Tamil. Click the link below and see the chart. It clearly shows how Tamil is the youngest Dravidian language, but no matter how much you try, the Tamils just won't agree. images.app.goo.gl/aN2aMP51APWS7kMf7 The Tamil, Kannada, Tulu, and Malayalam languages belong to the South Dravidian branch of the Dravidian language family, while Telugu belongs to the South Central branch. The Tamils don't even believe in this classification, and claim that there is no Proto Dravidian language..
@@j000p wow. Congrats u know very much about ur language. I have seen many famous personalities saying tamil is oldest language like SADHGURU (jaggi vasudev) . May be u know him. But now i got very proper explanation about davidian languages . Thanks 👍
@@UECAbhishekKumar Yes, I know about Jagdish Vasudev aka Sadguru. I had even attended his 'Inner Engineering' yoga course. But you may not like my opinion about him. He has more number of opposers from the states of TN and Kerala, because people in those states know his true colours.
@@j000p yes bro, it is okay to love one's mother tounge but it is not fair to create and propogate fake stories about the cultural evolution and then claim their language is superior to others. they have succeeded in cultivating the so-called 'tamil paasam' even in the minds of the other south indians who are not tamils i love tamil very much ,but i feel irritated when they keep on saying such stuff.

@@gauravmech1638 thats what I'm saying. It was about north and south india. Maharashtra is not north or south. Did I say anything different? I agree most of the time while representing india north east is ignored.
The magnificent tapestry of India is beyond words. This video just scratches the surface. The literature of the south Indian languages are also vast and ancient. The East has Bengali which also is derived from Sanskrit like the North Indian languages mentioned but developed strong literature and cultural resurgence in the recent past. Rabindra Nath Tagore wrote in Bengali and many other eminent authors emerged in Bengal. Culturally Bengal also flourished with great saints like Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and his disciple Vivekananda who spoke in the parliament of religions in Chicago and brought Hinduism to the attention of the world. There was also Chaitanya Mahaprabhu who travelled across India and developed modern Vaishnavism widely popular in the North and with the help of Prabhupada now across the world. Unfortunately there are elements in India that want to have one language, one religion, one culture across India saying that is what defines a nation. They never teach the diversity of this mosaic of Indian traditions in India and those that are aware are those that travel and marvel. This video does bring this diversity and its opulence to the attention of the world. It is important that every child in India learns about this fantastic land of ours which we call Bharath and salute the representation of this land as mother or Bharath Matha. Let her wear the multiple hued saris in the multiple ways and shine a bright light not only to Indians but also as a model as to how a united unselfish world can be with all its diversity and understanding.
One correction, Only Kerala use coconut oil to cook and rest of the states use, other oils like groundnut oil, sunflower oil, gingerly oil and one more point, North Indian dishes are more spicy you mentioned, absolutely not for example Andhra Pradesh eat more spicy food than any other states. Areas like Guntur , Rayalaseema areas are the spiciest of all of country. You did well, but still need to do more research. Also men in South will wear lungies in Tamil Nadu,Kerala, again rest majority of South men wear trousers and shirts, again village men can be seen in lungies . Every south state is unique. Please explore and do another video plz. Appreciate your efforts. Thank you
North India : land of Aryans. South India: land of dravidians. North east India: land of tibeto-burmese people Andaman island: land of ancient African tribes. Nicobar island: land of ancient south east Asian tribe. Some pockets of central India: land of austroasiatic people. In one word, India is a subcontinent.
Sorry but when you don't know the meaning of arya and dravid then don't bark. Arya mans Noble, it's a sanskrit word, Dravid means a region surrounded by water, again it's a sanskrit word.
@@pallavisreetambraparni6995 yes. India is not just union of states and ethnicity but also different races. If you go to andaman islands of india in bay of bengal you will find negroid race people. They are the oldest inhabited people on earth.
Iam very glad to know that foreigners are now knowing the cultural and traditional differences of India,not only north and south even north east India is also different India is very diverse Hope that soon world will know about great India someday❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Hi! One of the creators here. 👋 No, we have traveled to every state in India multiple times. In fact, our TN and Karnataka teams were editors of the content.
Because its god own country and if u ask any north Indians about their travel plan in south, the first state will definitely kerala. It's our dream to have tour of kerala 😋👍👍🤩
@@deepikakaranth yes it is because the coastal karnataka and kerala shares the same geographical features, both of these lands lies like a sandwich between the western ghats and the arabian sea,with ground that is slightly inclined towards the west. not only the weather and places,the cultures are also very similar especially the kerala culture and the tulunadu culture.
Thank you for highlighting India has various cultures and are even sometimes lot of differences are found. To my knowledge I have to share an information don't mistook it. Baharathanatiyam, kuchupudi kathakali are classical dance arts. We also have traditional arts such as parayatam, oyilattam, karagattam, poi kaal gudhirai aatam and various regional no classicals dance styles
Maharashtra is also South India. Maharashtra has the Deccan plateau. The word Deccan comes from Dakshin meaning South. Our culture, values, traditions also have more to do with the south than the North. Jai Maha
@@vanisridhar5509 yeah only that is similar, but still it is not completely agglutinative, it is semi - agglutinative. It has few Dravidian loan words too.
@Pinto Vikramaditya let me elaborate: Geographically if india is divided into north south then maharashtra is in south india. Zonally if divided into parts then maharashtra is in west india. Culturally if categorised then maharashtra is south india Language basis if categorised then maharashtra is north india. Hope it gets clear to you.
very comprehensive and crisp presentation of the differences in north and south Indian Cultures. In the present times, though each region has its own unique culture, there is a lot of cross cultural application. We are getting to truly gain oneness.
Lol how did I just learn more abt the northern and the southern India more from this 6 mins video than my 10 years of schooling😂 Aside from that your pronunciation was spot ❤️
Interesting video. RU-vid is a great way to travel the world when a person has limited means and health and age restrictions. It always amazes me how some cultures prepare and eat food with bare hands and fingers and seem to have little need for forks and spoons. India is definitely a country that could take a lifetime to travel and explore from the looks of it.

South India is developed states which has 95% literacy, and south Indians pay 65% total tax of India, and south Indian cultures is very rich , without south India, north India will get no money to maintain the whole north India, north Indians need south Indian money but they're not giving big place's in indian politics If south India is separated from North India, south India is the richest country in the world 💯 south Indians are the true Indians, north Indians are migrated from other countries, so south Indians should rule the country we're the best in all the fields 💯
North India is land locked how can we develop when we can't trade North India is always in state of emergency terrorism you think it's a suitable environment to develop so it's fair to even compare.... Btw I ❤️ South India
This is the mentality because of which foreigners come and loot us. We can never be united, it's always Me Me Me, My language, My people, My culture. Why isn't it Our , why do you want a separate country when the whole India is yours? And your Aryans outsider theory? All humans migrated from Africa, migration was and is common among humans, Don't you feel sad when Tamils are discriminated in Sri Lanka , called 'outsiders' even though both Tamils and Sinhalas have helped Sri Lanka grow. Same goes with India. It's your quality that you people are well organized, and North India has chaos, why ? Because north India had to face the wrath of islamic invaders that destroyed North India's societal fabric.
Once India was divided into hundreds of kingdoms, this was used by Europeans who exploited us, even today China is looting and exploiting small African and Asian countries, Sri Lanka , Pakistan, Bangladesh, Central Asian countries all are in China's debt. Only India is not , why ? Because we are large and strong. Do not break this unity, foreign powers have been trying to destroy India since ages, do not let them win this time , after a lot of struggle we got independence, we have to stay together. Yes North Indians and South Indians both have good and bad qualities, but both are children of this land, and today noone in India belongs to a pure race, everyone is mixed. So just like a family has its differences but stays together, same way we must stay together for our own good.
UNCLE GOOGLE REQUIRES MORE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCES IN "DRAVIDIAN CULTURE " ALONE (then unveiling INDIA could be possible only in heaven ) Dravidian culture is far diverse within it. The best example for this can be seen in the Draviian architectures of TAMIL NADU seen on the clip . The state of Kerala which is also considered as DRAVIDIAN has a unique architecture with the rest of DRAVIDIAN.( The curious muffins can take a glance at WIKEPEDIA or VAIKHARI site or.....) The traditions also vary from state to state. One's physical appearance , house designs also vary. Just think how blessed our MOTHER INDIA is with this vast DIVERSITY BUT STILL UNITED:)
@@SodhaTravel I am from kerala, and most of the visuals you showed as south India in this video is kerala, the greenery, the backwaters and natural beauty is integinous to kerala. You need to show more visuals of tamil nadu, ap, karnataka and telegana
@@oneworld1551 thanks for the feedback! Most of the clips are my own and so, respectfully, I know where the footage is from... 😊 There are definitely many clips of Kerala (which shouldn’t be surprising, considering the insane beauty!) but also from the other states. Regardless, it’s about the content, not the specific visuals. 👍
@Ro Mc we are same race but different linguistic group. Racially we are mixed. I wont see veery much difference in looks of north indiam and south indiam as there is perception that north indians are light toned. Reality is most north indians are dark itself
@Rash Cutiipie how come india be one nation?it is a formed nation..like it's created...Tamilnadu was not part of india untill the arrivals of British same to kerela Andhra , Karnataka...but today it's part of union ...even our constitution says india is union of states.. indian history doesn't have only one narrative
@Rash Cutiipie unity of every state is based on politics..citizens should be clear voting to parties which gives more freedom to states..but definitely India will be powerful nation
I disagree with the point of architecture if we see in South India , Kerala temples are very much different from that of the Dravidian and North Indian temples , indeed architecture of each state in India is unique and different. Similarly South India do consumer a large number of spices , if you see Andhra and Telengana are said to have one among the spiciest food items in India, even meet dishes of Kerala are extremely spicier .
Mountains seperate maharashtra south mp south chattisgarh odissa from north india. North plain and thousands of mountains in karnataka kerala maharashtra etc
@@keralanaturelover196 what about satpuda ranges which truly separated north nd South India or River Narmada? Along with geography what about cultural similarity like Marriages traditon, dressing, dialects and so much thing betn Telangana, Marathawada and Andhra pradesh, North karnataka? In Maharashtra itself there are many mountain ranges like Balaghat and Sahyadri ranges,They should also separate North and South! Do you know which regions are included in Deccan plateau? Which city is said to be queen of Deccan plateau. Konkani language which is not only spoken I Goa! Northern part is losing its past identity due to migrants but we can easily identify where Maharashtra should Included! Sambar got it's name on Maratha king! When external forces were trying to separate India in Dravidian nation then also most of Maharashtra was made part of it!!
Not eating cow is based on aryan mythology and not on davidian mythology, so any south Indian can eat beef. But if they will to eat. Greetings from Tamil Nadu
@@bharathisockalingam5464 Another thing is don't elect same party continuesly.... Keep changing the ruling party.... Otherwise all keep showing their dictatorship sides.
*I'm sorry but in TAMIL NADU we Hindus consider eating cow as a SIN* Some of those may eat beef though but they are comparatively negligible. Incase of non veg here we tamil people used to take mostly fish, chicken and mutton and some major sea foods. Thats all.
Guys just stop saying that south Indians use coconut oil for cooking ,only in Kerala they use coconut oil and in other states we use sunflower or peanut oil .
Many things are wrong here. 1.Kathak is not because of islamic invasion. It is mentioned in Natyashahtram. Kathak actually has it's roots in Raslila from Mathura, just like Manipuri traditional dance. Why it looks different than Indian? It is not only dressing is, because when inv@sions happened, the katha dancers were taken away as sl@ves. They used to dance infront of their military, they were forced in pr0stitution and sl@very and their clothes were forcefully changed into persian garments. That's how the term, "Mujra or Mujre wali" took place in north india. The girls were not allowed to dance, as it had a bad reputation that even till now, in ras lila, ol boys dance while dressing as girls. 2. (To all my south indian brothers and sisters) every state above telangana, is not north. North indian states are these:- Ladakh, Jammu and Kashmir, Punjab, Himachal pradesh, Uttarakhand, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar pradesh and Rajshthan. Hope you get it. 3.Just because we can understand and speak hindi, that doesn't mean we are hindi people. Hindi actually have it's routes in probably in two languages:- Brajbhasha and kauravi(Khadi boli) which are spoken in Northwest and west UP. Many believe that maybe the combination of these two languages made Hindi (Though Awadhi is more close to hindi and kauravi, i don't know why Brajbhasha is involved) And yes My south indian friends can't understand my language even for a bit, after saying that all north indian languages sound same. 4. Arya and dravid both are sanskrit words. Arya means Noble and Dravid means surrounded by water. These are not races😭 5. North India has more than 15 major regional languages but unrecognised. If were recognised, then the numbers of speakers would have been more than kannada. For example Awadhi, spoken in just central UP Or Haryanvi. 6. 4 major languages of south has actually pressurised minor languages like Tulu, konkani etc. 7. It may hurt you but yep, you don't pay the most taxes in india. Nowadays, almost every thing has taxes. 8. People mostly forget northeast when they talk about india, either call them as far east or northeast. 9. North indian food is not that spicy compare to south but it depends on individual choice in a house, if they prefer to add it or not,,,,,,,,,(Like me I love spice😂) and it can find similarities with middle eastern and central asian food or cuisine than south or eve west, or east, but yes, we do love Idli and Sambhar, specially Nariyal chutney. 10. All north indians are not fair. Yes, all north indians are not fair we are mixed. Though in india, Majority is wheatish here. 11. You can't generalise north indian looks, like you will find Tibetans like Ladakhi, and places touching borders with Nepal, Bhutan, and Tibet, will have southeast asian or east asian looks. 12. (For the creator) Indian cultures are hindu, baudh, jain, sikh and a lot of tribal cultures who are not involved with sny abrahamic faith like christianity or islam. 13. (For people in south) you hate the religious conflicts of north because you don't understand the demographics of north and east and even northeast india. Soon it is coming for you too, good luck. (It's a warning, you yourself see what happened in Malabar, Hyderabad etc)
India is a uninon of states. before 1947 there were many princely states. now also the parliament has only less authority on states. proud to be a Dravidian (South Indian) Literacy rate in high in Dravidian states i.e 85% and kerala is 100%
North aren't just Hindi-speaking states - North are Indo-Aryan speakers, whereas South are Dravidian speakers. North Indians are generally taller and fairer, owing to Aryan genes.
The last point is somewhat wrong , cuz Kerala ranks 3rd in number of tallest people after J.K and Punjab. Similarly South Karnataka , Kerala , and Coastal Andha have more fair toned people . I don't think all north Indian are fair ,we can easily realise it by taking a ride on the streets of north Indian citties , most of the fair people are from Sindh region ( Jk, Paunjab , Haryana ) who lives in moderate climate.
I think it is south which is better for Dalits , cuz if you in South Indian state almost all people are treated equally , I must mention that history was not the same as that of today ,if you see in ancient time Cast system in Kerala was too harsh for Dalit but now there is nothing called cast system in the state Even our cm is also from a lower cast , thanks to the reformers like Sri Narayan Guru and etc. But I think north have to change a bit I personally found a lot of North Indians being harsh to low cast people even today ( not all ) .
East india, Bangladesh, centrel India, Srilanka, South India Are same 🙄 Many were arnyized heavily Just like Turks of turkey.who got turkfied Syria who got arabized
Yes each and every state of SOUTH INDIA is different from North India SOUTH INDIANS are basically DRAVIDIANS and Rice eaters with Coconut trees all over SOUTH INDIA. But North Indians are Aryans
