Ohhh okay. When he said north I thought they were referring to the Native population concentrated in the north part America. I guess for those that don't know here in America for a long time (generally white people) referred to Natives as Indians as well, and I was raised by uh... well let's say a family with some opinions on 'em, so it kinda didn't register for me they were asking about the country. (Yes, I know native american is the proper term, it's what I use but my southern american ears have kinda just gotten used to hearing it being talked about both ways growing up) But to answer the question on if southern americans being more conservative than the northern Indians in India, again, I'm not too familiar with the current demographic. I did some reading of WWII and Ghandi era resistance and what not but I'm not sure how the repressive right wing elements have evolved into the modern day as I just haven't kept up. I didn't know india even had a large conservative demographic, as I've last heard a few years ago I think now that India had one of the largest socialist / communist protest in history, thought i read that damn near a million or more people covered the streets in an ocean of red and black flags. But that's about my most recent knowledge of their internal political situation, if I'm being honest. I wouldn't mind being enlightened to whatever's going on there though, that's for sure!
