Event Description

South India finds itself in an impossible bargain. Is it even an equal partner? How and why the southern states are outperforming the rest of the country and what are its consequences in an increasingly centralized India? In his presentation, Nilakantan reveals how south India deals with a particularly tough set of issues – its triumphs in areas of health, education and economic growth are met with a policy regime that penalizes it; its success in population control will be met with a possible loss of political representation. How will the region manage such an assault? Why is south India doing so much better than the north? And what does that mean? Author Nilekantan RS will engage in a conversation with Rohini Mohan and Prof. Govind Rao which will be followed by a Q&A.
