I saw many impressive Hindu temples in the south when I visited India but not the north apparently because Muslim invaders destroyed them a long time ago.
It seems that there are historical reasons for the differing attitudes.

Chinese propaganda ❌ west 🐻‍❄️ is the real propaganda

I am from TN a DMK supporter for decades. In recent days I was attracted by BJP ideology. The recent geopolitical issues and their effects on India is a major cause for my support to BJP.

I don't think the opposition will be able to stop Modi. Modi's image is that of a nationalist leader and it is difficult to stop a leader with nationalist ideology in any country. And Modi has played all the cards before the elections.
Article 370
Ram mandir
5th biggest economy
Target of 3Rd biggest economy
650 billion USD in foreign reserve
Fastest growing economy with a groth rate of 8%+
CAA, NRC etc
Make in India, startup India, space power, etc
At the same time, no one can accuse Modi's image of corruption. On the other hand, the opposition has created an anti-Hindu and anti-national image by opposing Ram Mandir and Article 370, which will cause a lot of harm. The opposition also does not have any strong issues. There are small issues like inflation, poverty, unemployment etc. but these issues are there in every election. And elections are not won on the basis of these issues.

Don't narrate things by urself..All Hinduism is one ..Adwaita vedanta, the pillars of Hinduism who profounded by adi sankaracharya who was born in today's Kerala(old whole tamilnadu), built and rejenuvated temples across India, not only South India.kedarnath and badrinath are some of those..Don't narrate as north Indian Hinduism and south Indian Hinduism..Hinduism is only one ..

[mahesh]

Irrespective of election results, Madhvi ji and Annamalai ji should be the part of central ministry. We want strong participation from South India in central politics and one south Indian language(Tamil, Telgu, Kannad, Malyalam as per choice)must be taught in education curriculum in north India, we will happily accept that. Love from Uttarakhand ❤🇮🇳❤️

[rajkishorebehera]

You mean South of India, where each state has its own pride, culture and language

[AchyutChaudhary]

7:25 *I am an ethnic Hindi from UP but knowing that Modi is a Gujarati instead - I never really understood how the hell he speaks Hindi (his 3rd language after Gujarati & English) so fluently?*
We all know how hard learning non-native languages can be…

[dandap]

I wish the lady debated about the Uniform Civil Code. which is a national policy instead of all the rhetorical analysis

[animeismydrug]

Keep showing your propaganda. it has empowered Modi in past, it will empower Modi even more in future.

[Pennywise.]

Ecosystem is now hell bent on dividing the country in North and South... Thanks to desperate Rahul Gandhi and company that want's divide and rule

[Awkward-]

Comeon, you can't fool People too long, Narendera modi is biggest brand ambassador of Tamil language and culture in India and around the world...
Why Stalin don't wish Tamil New year? Why he don't promote Tamil temples, tamil festivities... Dravidianism have nothing to do with Tamil culture..

[priyap]

It's not BRS in telangana. It's Congress

[powerprivilege]

Only goal? Defeat BJP?! Shame. Offer something for the people

[gaunikarora]

What did you say " Dravidian " means "inclusive" 😂😂😂. This shiws how less you know about India and Dravidianism

[AchyutChaudhary]

7:25 *ironically Modi himself is a Gujarati ગુજરાતી & not a Hindi हिन्दी 😂*
(but for some reason, never really is proud to speak his own mother tongue)

[sivabalanchandrasekaran]

I am from tamilnadu I vote for modi and bjp🎉

[ravindraprasad]

Irespective of any parties govt should change in every 10 year
