I am an Indian from Kerala. Million bows to my brothers and sisters from the north of India who despite trauma of centuries still hold on to Dharma. It's you people who are still democratically safeguarding India from regressive ideologies. It's just because of you people that we in the South of India have started dreaming of the rise of the Golden age of our civilization and its key religion/darshana: Vedanta. Saashtaang namaskaaram!🙏
There is old saying " a marwari will show ₹ 1 if he has ₹100 with him, a Gujarati will show ₹ 1 if he has ₹ 10, a Punjabi will Show ₹ 10 if he has ₹ 1.
As a Tamil, I fully agree. The prosperity of the South initially was because of the sacrifices by the North people. The barbarians never truly reached South and were mostly tackled in North itself. 🙏🙏🙏
@Venkatesh Ramanujam if your Varna system wasn't based on skill. Others would have not entered North. What Termite will do to wood. Cste has done to Sanatan
I am from South India. Born, bred here, never had a chance to understand this. My daughter got a seat in Airforce school through general category, by sheer luck. I met the principal who was from Delhi. She asked me to introduce a good real estate agent who could help her get a house to buy. I was visibly surprised when she told me that she wanted to settle here. She then explained to me that she liked the simple ways of South Indians and that language had never been a barrier for her here. I felt happy on hearing this. Now I understand this completely. ❤
More than ancient reasons, show off is influenced by Bollywood. Real rich are mostly humble and those who pretend to be rich are the ones who shows off much. 😀😀
This is absolutely right, north Indians spend more money on the showoff items. Specially Punjabi's in Delhi NCR. 😀 My punjabi friend don't have car parking but still bought 50 Lakh BMW and parking it in the streets of Patel Nagar. 😄
Also if you go to west Delhi areas like Janakpuri, Rajouri, Subhash nagar etc the Restaurant & Pub business is growing like anything. All these areas have maximum Punjabi's population. My many punjabi friends visit pubs & restaurants every weekend and spend 5k to 10k. Its huge. Punjabi have big hearts 💕 though.
I am a Bengali who lived in Punjab for 27 years and now in South India. The level of show off is extremely high in Punjab, Haryana, New Delhi.. I know many people who consider eating with hands as dehati. Also, I have seen unemployed people having iphones, cars, in debt. Most of all, I see many Punjabis in a lot of stress that if they can't go to Canada or increase their standard of living, their life will be difficult. I don't say Bengal or South is free from it, show off in one way or other is everywhere.. but the show off in North will definitely exhaust u if u don't earn a lot or don't belong to rich class...
I am a Bengali, born and brought up in UP, studied in UP and Delhi, and then with a brief stay in Maharashtra lived in South India for the past 25 years. Agree with everything you wrote and what is mentioned in the video 😀

@@rounakmondal5839 North India te actually nearby tourist spots Kolkata theke onek beshi. Apni bepar ta ulto bollen..puro. Delhi theke weekend trip options are really good. Ota r showoff er kono relation nei.
And the level of Bengali cultural snobbery is altogether at another level. Phrases like "What Bengal thinks now, India thinks 50 years later" and all that crap. Bengal who got divided on religious line giving sermons to rest of India.
Well said Sir. I have observed this in my own life. I have stayed in Dehradun for my studies and am currently staying in Chennai for my Job . People in the North are more towards physical strength viz. People are into joining the Army more and show off culture buying iPhone and Cars even if it's on EMI whereas people in the South are more towards saving culture and they are spending a lot on Education and Savings like Gold(proof by data). They don't like to show off and I could see even a person earning so much is so humble . We should learn from both sides and have balance in our life.
That may be a stereotype that has been fed into the peoples' minds, I do not know from where. I am from North India and I have been noticing for a few years now that these Dravidian parties are trying to manufacture a North-South divide, especially in the literacy (saying Southern states are far more literate than Northern states). Barring a two states, there is not much of a difference in literacy rates between North and South. What use is literacy in a state like in Kerala where half of the population works in the Middle East or rest of India.
@@parikshitsharda4377 ys and so Kerala model of development is extolled and appreciated by all states.Migrant workers sent more money to native country India and aids in development.Or else imagine the huge responsibility upon a nation with vast educated middle class and without an opportunity of unemployment.Defiintely middle East or any other nation that that offers helping hand is a panacea .to the youth of our country
I am also living in(erode)tamil nadu.But i observed South indians buy more fancy cars than north. Any new model launches within a week or two you see no.of cars on roads. And where I am living is not a big city. Huge sum of money they spend on their houses. And in this small city we have apple Store where any time you go ,see good no of people. New generation of south is spending money like crazy on materialistic things. In my kids class all their friends have their personal apple phone and macbook.
@@himanshimajethia4230 Erode which comes under kongu belt has completely different scenario. Kongu belt is the house of business Tycoons!!! They are know for ultra grand weddings, bungalows and cars. These rich kids buy luxurious cars and end up setting in abroad!!! Come to Coimbatore it's much worser than erode.
I feel north Indians are more showoff, but more aggressive and kind. South Indians are fewer showoffs, and more conservative and private people.I am from Goan background I remember my dad still using kinetic honda till 2016 and he was already AGM in SBI lol. But I love the cheerfulness of North Indians.
Lol, so true. I've been born brought up in Chennai where people are exact opposite of show offs and I used to wonder why all my relatives based in delhi are such huge show offs. Every school vacation I am in Delhi, my relatives prove how ultra show off they're omg. My neighbour in chennai an ISI and IIMA alumni, lives like a normal regular person and very humble in behavioral conduct, but a simple small restaurant owner relative in delhi acts like he owns the world.
@Mukherjee - East n South Indian were poor compared to North Indian n were made clerks by Britisher but North Indian were more into business, that how Marwari flourish in Shops n Punjabis in Business/ Transport throughout India how many east or South indian after becoming C.A. do family business instead Opt for high pay jobs in MNC but today you see the reverse PPL in Jobs are earning more than Shop keeper or Transporter.
I am a north Indian and Never thought of this logic behind North Indians doing show-of...you covered a really interesting aspect..and the way u explained was funny and interesting 😂😂

Sir ,very important topic . You have said the root cause and path forward in very simple words. I am North Indian living in South India . What you have said is 100% correct. North can learn a lot from South and South needs to become teacher at this point , rather than both parties getting into politics of dividing and hating each other.
I am from Kerala. I liked your talk very much.Now South also is changing. Especially in Kerala people are becoming show offs.They buys cars and built houses which are much beyond their financial capability by taking enormous loans then go into depression or commit suicide. Our weddings and life styles too a becoming extravagant. I hope both South and North will learn the good qualities from each other and not allow the unnecessary evils to creep into their societies.

I live in Gujarat but I am a Malayali. And sadly in recent times, some Malayali's are getting influenced by the show-off culture as can be seen in weddings. And there are many who cannot afford it yet because their child's desires, they give in for their happiness. I think people need to learn this valuable lesson that show-off won't earn us anything, rather its just a waste of money that could be utilized for better purposes in life.
Sitara menon@thats Because of the influence of people who live in Middle Eastern countries.. Their immediate families staying in India started showing off.
Great ! Very happy to listen to topics which no one wants to speak in public and just spend life without acknowledging. Thank you for all your videos . I am your big fan 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The winter in North gives lot of scope for show off and the winter show off is very good .The show off culture is even visible among ladies in South.There is heavy competition of Silk Sarees and gold ornaments in weddings which is rarely seen in North India.
In the North Indian, ladies also compete on sarees, lehenga choli, jewellery design, but the ferocious competition is in the looks...i look better than her...
Agreed Iam from Gujarat and my daughter science tution from Andhra, He was from IIT and left his US tech Job for follow his passion in to teach science to children with nominal fees
All your topics are things that are in the back of our mind, but no one speaks about them. Thanks for addressing these social issues! Love from karnataka!❤
I am from the Northeast and I have friends from all across the country. I have always wondered the differences between North and South and how different they are from NE people. This video was really informative. I think the people from Assam are more laid back than the rest of India and we rarely migrate unless for career purposes. That could be because Assam did not face foreign invasion for almost 600 years prior to British rule. We probably feel more secure in our own land.
@@viviev5044 Yes but that's because employment opportunities is very less in NE. As I have said "unless for career". There are few industries here. What I am saying is a general behavior of wanting to stay in their own place. Not all North Indians are show off and not all South Indians are intellectual. Besides Assam is facing a big problem of illegal immigrants right now which is leading to a cultural crisis. So may be in the future general behavior will change.
I am from north india , and have lot of friends from northeast , you are absolutely correct dear friend,lot of difference between noth indians and south indian and sir ne jo analysis kiya that is quite deep . And very true
Yes....I agree with you..... during my academic days ( 80's to 88) I had seen many friends of me used to say their conservative culture, dowry demand ranges according to status of bride groom.... moreover I have noticed during my student life and in service, North Indian are always pompous, talks loudly & aggressive behaviour either in bus, train travel or in mall.....whereas South Indian or even the people of NE states are more sober.....most of crimes are reported either in UP, Delhi, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan.....and truly speaking average North Indian are a bit rude
I'm myself from Rajasthan And check the list of crimes Delhi and maharshtra (south state ) Are on top And secondly rajasthani people have this psyche of not doing fights and solving everything with sharp mind😂 So that they don't face reputation problems So don't include any state untill u deeply know And in cities there are mix people living there so judge with facts
I am from Assam and lived in Delhi for total of 10+ years and In Bombay and South total of 6+ years!! You are 100% correct. In Delhi, one of my very first introduction to with people in Delhi went like - : " Hello, I am Rajiv, I am a Director in a big company and I live in Vasant Vihar". or " I came on my BMW". driver is waiting outside
funny part is with show off people think they will get more appreciation and acceptance in society whereas ppl get jealous and nasty and in most case create more distance
Sirji aap aisa kaam kar rahe India ke liye ki mein kya batau. Isse acche channel hai hi nahi RU-vid me. Aapne bahut acchi samaaj sudhaar ki muhim start ki hai. Many many thanks to you for coming up with this incredible subject. You are doing a great job for the Indians. 👏👏👏👏
As a South Indian, i think the reasons are much more deeply rooted into personality traits, culture, traditions and following what is already being done. Socialism, Communism, Dravidianism has brought about a difference as well. Having said this, this divide is reducing now with more North Indians becoming smart with their spending and many more South Indians being foolish in their show off.
@@jyotivyas9286 Not west ki baatein, but social justice ki baatein. The culture existing in most of india was casteist, monarchical and socially unjust. It took brave men with knowledge of other communities around the world to arrive at social justice movements which has leveled the playing field massively where it has succeeded.
@@prasadbhadane608 About the state flag. Why is it surprising ? Indian states were not united for millenia, many parts and pieces were divided among feuding monarchies for millenia before finally uniting once we obtained freedom from the British. For that constitution to work in the best interest of the nation, more power has to be provided to each state as opposed to a homogeneous rule from the center. Indian states differ much more from each other than the spanish states and german states you mentioned, yet they have a much higher say in their politics than the indian state. Take a look at the Lok Sabha Election results of 2004 to 2019 of the states of South India and look what govt would have formed if they were able to have their own elected representatives working for them. Instead they are subjected to rule from a ignorant, homogeneous party, which forget nationalism, has no understanding of the diversity, people and cultures that amalgamate to call themselves India. Unity comes with representation, unity comes with compassion, unity comes with being open minded to everyone that is different to you. For a party that uses disunity to win elections, cannot complain about the nation splintering into state identities separate from its ignorant nationalism.
Very interesting analysis....also it resonates with my thought process ...more so because we are north Indians and my daughter is getting married to a south Indian. I feel very good talking to my son in law and his parents....because like us...woh bhi samajhne aur jodne ka attitude rakhte hain. Hamare bache bhi apne set of parents ko samjhte hain aur bohot ache se samjhate bhi hain....ek doosre ki psychology . ..I respects my samdhis but I am very proud of being a punjabi too....humko raunken lagani aati hain....mehfile bhi hamare jaise koi nai sajata....☺☺☺
Sir, Maharashtra has also spent centuries in fighting against the invadors specially Moghals and British. Over 1 lakh soldiers died in Panipat war. All this has impacted the lives of Maharashtra. There was hardly any possibility of development art and artistic infrastructure. The impact is that this has resulted in very aggressive nature. We can't trust people easily.
Maharashtra enter war after 1650 when shivaji rose fame. But Punjab, Rajasthan, haryana, delhi fought 2500BC to till date. Because their border touch enemy nation. Alexander porus 326 bc, selucus chandragupta 305 bc,mahabharat 950 bc, kushan , kasim 712 AD. When shivaji time angrez already trade in India. Last 350 years only.
With all due respect to the brave Marathas, I beg to differ. The region of present Marathas was never under the direct attack by the invaders. Mostly, those wars were fought in the North Indian regions. Marathas came to prominence after 16th century, when they started decimating the Mughals.
I have heard in B’lore from lot of indi people after they’ve shifted to B’lore saying… yar life mai shanti padgayi hai .. Now I know why they saying that.
If you lock up 2 punjabi and 2 Madrasi in 1 small room for 2 hours the results will be:- All 4 will get full, detailed, internal, secretive information about the 2 Punjabis. The Madrasi will only hear, will not talk nor reveal his internal information. This is nature made.
I am à Pakistani from Islamabad. It was my observation that Pakistanis (old west Pakistani) are more show off and agressive than North Indians who in turn are more of these then South Indians. South indians are really humble and brainy. Most of the computer jobs in USA are held by them. I always wondered why is that? Really liked your analysis. Did you had any interaction with Pakistanis. One of my wifes cousin is married to à south indian . I asked her what is the cultural différence between you two? She replied that when ever there is a différence of opinion between us , i shout and blurt every thing out but he keeps quite and keeps evey thing in his heart. Both live in US. I am à Neurologist by profession and an auther by hobby.
@@saadazim3021actually Pakistanis follow their ancestral hindu practices only till today whether its haldi/mayun, mehndi, doodh pilai…all are hindu origin from our ancient scriptures and have no mention in hadiths/quran, which only mentions nikah and reception
As a south indian, I agree with you sir, North indians are bit Showoff due to the influence of Bollywood movies. But personlly i like thier joyful life.
I am from Haryana, living in Mumbai for past 5 years. I lived in noida as well for first 4 years of my job. There is a drastic change of attitude amongs youth here in Mumbai. No branded clothes, No fancy cars, no expensive shoes, very rare people having Iphones despite the fact that the salary drawn by average employee here is much much higher as compare to the north.
Every person has a place in this world/country. Of course u need to spend a lot on clothing in North due to the severe climatic conditions. U need summer and winter clothing, shoes etc. But in south, u can manage with few decent dresses and few pairs of chappal or shoe throught the year. But one should be wise enough to spend within their means.
Khada peeta lahe da, Baqi Ahmed Shahe da This saying in Punjabi tells us of the horrors inflicted by Ahmed Shah Abdali. It was a philosophy which articulates that whatever you have consumed is yours all else is likely to be looted by Abdali.
I being a simple guy from Odisha have felt it when I joined a new pune based company. It was a team lunch and as of my regular habit I started eating with my hands and one of the north indian guy started saying that he forgot to eat with hands after he came back from US 😂 pointing at my eating habits.🤷🏻
Lovely topic Sir. Having been in Defence for 30 years, really appreciate every corner of the country. Lot of my friends' parents migrated from West Punjab. I understand the sentiments of every community, since the defence personnel
Totally agree 💯 Punjabi kahawat hai "Khaada Peeta laahe da Baaki Aadam Shahe da" (Jo kha pee leya wohi apna tha, baki sab to Adam Shah ayega aur loot ke le jayega) Par abhi bhi North India mein dange-fasaad zyada hai. Punjab ne abhi 20 saal pehle trauma jhela hai. Delhi mein Sikhon ne 40 saal pehle apna sab kuch gawa diya tha. North India ka trauma khatam ho nahi Raha. Abhi bhi stability se thodi dur hai.
Andhra ke log bhi bahut showoff karte hain. Hundreds of sarees, unnecessary jewellery mostly kept in bank lockers, splurging on wedding. Of late they began to show off their houses.
My father's mother was Bengali, father's father(Dadaji) was marathi ( maharashtrian and so am I by sirname) , my mother is Punjabi so our family is mix of 3 cultures. And it is my mother's reading that she appreciated the groundedness and simplicity of maharashtrians a lot. Instead of showing off they rather show less than what they have and are actually little embarassed if they do have to talk about how well they r doing financially.
Absolutely right! In the past historically, it is the north of our country which has been invaded innumerable times and their land ,property, as well as their families have always been snatched away....so obviously that psyche of insecurity has been ingrained into their genes, hence they live life king-size while they can! Although as you say, it can be tuned down a bit in today's world...but the joyous nature of the people of the north, especially of Punjab is something that can be learned by all of us!
My father (and me as well) is a southie and has never stayed in North (except for general tourism). But from a very young age he has been advising me that Northies have this "show off" attitude, but it is not wrong as they hae faced many insecurities since generations. He used to advise my northie friends to not to indulge in show off as well. But he used to finish it off by saying that we in south are eating food because there is northie fauji protecting our borders.
I don't know about other communities, but for marwadis I can say we live very frugally, we are told not to discuss about money matters outside the community. The only thing we spend on most is Weddings and some amount on Religious festivals and charity.
I am from north India and have friends from south and west . This why why question was always there. Main iss baat ko bahut salo sey sochti hun. I am happy that you have made video. My husband and I have discussed this topic number of times . Now I can share this video with my friends and it would help them to have a fresh prespective to look at it . It proves how strongly trauma can travel through genes and it has to talked about so this generation get over it . Aapka dhanyavad
Being a Hindu vegetarian Punjabi , I have always faced a question that How I am a Punjabi and vegetarian. There are few misconceptions about punjab that we all do balley balley all the time . We can’t be religious and practise spirituality . And food is only rajmah, kadhi chholey, parathhey nothing healthy is there . Would you please make a video how punjab is versatile and it is home to all the communities . Thank you
I agree with you 100% but this will bring change i am not optimistic ! This show biz is increasing day by day and hindi movies contributed a lot to it ! Those who don't believe in this are looked down upon!
But Social media ,downfall of Bollywood and rise of cultural cinema from South can trigger it. Believe in it , India is changing every second at rapid speed. Personally In my childhood I have heard comments that -Iss desh ka kuch nhn ho sakta.... Now we are becoming major players in world today.

Both North & South Indians show off just in different ways. In south the richest show off through gold, property, assets & their dominance over people who worship them for their power. In North people show off by buying expensive cars, gadgets & trying too hard to seem less like an average Indian. The most humble people(in terms of showing off assets) *were* the people from the Eastern zone(mostly Odisha, Bihar) & I'm stressing on the word 'were' bcuz at present times this is rapidly changing. People show off bcuz they are afraid of being looked down upon by others they want other privileged people to see them as their equals. You can say South Indians are more humble in their general physical demeanor or verbally whereas North Indians seem more arrogant & haughty.
Yes sir I am from Himachal and people around me are so much in showoff actually I have spent much time in gwalior but when my father was retired from his job and we come back to our hometown here I realise the large difference
Very much true , Sir ...North India has suffered from all the battles since thousands of years... you perfectly analysed the root cause and also suggested the solution as usual...
Loved u r analysis... I used to have an impression : North Indian are offensive and south are defensive... north inclined to wards bright colours but south is off white ... most of the preferences/ priorities are quite opposite.... All this is GOOD for a country
Sir , I am following your vlogs since from few days. I liked it ,since it is very true & you explain it with great sense of humor. Though am south indian , I am basically marathi , we r 4th generation staying in karnataka,we adopted its culture, we r happy about it. My son is very excited about north Indians, their joyful ,helping, brave AND POSITIVE attitude towards life. As his colleagues are north Indians, he too have changes in his life styile& thinking. I believe some kind of good changes are acceptable. Nowadays south indians have introduced many north Indian foods in marriage menue , mehindi, lehanga , kurth dress etc, which were not accepted before. This generation youths r not having any problems in accepting new changes. Nice to see all this.
Hello sir, as you said you read all comments I am writing this message hoping to find something in future. Your topics are very much needed for today's world to be heard. I have one more topic kindly throw some light on it. I get irritated when I hear people say that 'ghar ki boss biwi hai' 'ghar mein wife home minister hai' blah blah. Because I have not seen that around my family. Even when kapil Sharma jokes about wives in his show I get very disappointed because it's not even 10% true. Woh zamana kabhi tha hi nahi sirf gine chune mard hote hai jo biwi ki ijjat karte hai.
A very interesting and thought-provoking video. Stereo types are not always true, but substantially correct. Unrelenting invasions through the Hindu Kush have left a lasting impact on the northern areas and this could be the reason for the philosophy of live it up and live for today. Another reason in my view is relatively the Gangetic belt has always been more fertile and prosperous compared to the South, with wealth in the hands of landed gentry. However, as to the effects of partition and population displacement, one does not see the see 'live it up' approach in migrants from erstwhile East Pakistan who have done well. I wonder why. Thanks for the video.
North Indian culture is more material especially Punjab, Haryana area with more emphasis on good eating for strong body, work hard physically (like mr. sango said commitment to protect against enemy). Although human psychology tends to show off that which it does not have in reality. Some folks take show off to another level like skipping meals to buy that designer shirt etc. Such attitude makes life very stressful and ill effects of this stress spill over covertly in other areas of life.
I have watched your only two videos. I think you are imparting wisdom to the popularly known beliefs/ aspects/ etc. etc. You approach is like a seasoned judge who weighs both sides of an issue and comes to a clear conclusion through a speaking judgement. Looking fwd to more of ur vids.
Another brilliant video. Videos like this bring the country together. We have been divided for ages. We should give credit to North India for standing upto numerous invasions while giving credit to South India for preserving our culture and temples (which were being brutally destroyed in NI) so that now when the time is ripe we can all come together and build Bharat again.
