The western seacoast is lush and tropical, for the Western Ghats, the higher of the two southern mountain ranges, force the annual southwest monsoon to drop most of its moisture on that coastal plain.

 The Telegraph - Calcutta : Nation
According to a recent study, students passing out of engineering colleges in states like Bengal, Delhi and Maharashtra are better than their counterparts in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.
The average scores indicate that “techies” in the three states “scored high percentages in all the sections compared to their counterparts south of the Vindhyas”, says Madan Padaki, the co-founder and director of MeritTrac.
The study, which MeritTrac says is “India’s first comprehensive survey on fresh engineering graduates”, is bound to sharpen the debate triggered by the Tamil Nadu government’s decision to do away with the common entrance test for admission to professional courses.

 Kolangal: Tamil:
Francis W. Ellis, a British civil servant, first recognised the Dravidian languages in 1816 as an independent family, not tied to the Indo-Aryan languages that were mainly spoken north of the Vindhyas.
The school of thought that Dravidian spread beyond the confines south of the Vindhyas (where it is now mainly spoken) has been further substantiated by the fact that a Dravidian language called Brahui is still spoken to this day in parts of Baluchistan, Pakistan and Iran.
Brahui is the only member of the Dravidian family, which is spoken outside the Indian subcontinent and linguists have not been able to discover the link between the Brahui and the other speakers of Dravidian languages who live thousands of miles away in southern India.

This, however, is not the practice in North India, in which case, had Sonia Gandhi become prime minister, she too would have broken this superstition.
While south of the Vindhyas men use their father's name as the middle name, those in north India either have a second name or use the village or caste name.

To the casual visitor from abroad, as to the reflective native, there is no pronouncing the superiority of the culture either side of the Vindhyas.
But for some strange reason, the average northerner insists on maintaining the same attitude to the southerner as the British maintained to, or rather against, the Indian — any Indian.
In the North, they think of themselves as pure Aryan and look down on those from south of the Vindhyas as Dravidians — a mindset that hasn’t changed in 3,000 years.

  The Gurjara-Pratiharas were the last of the great north Indian dynasties, and at their zenith ruled over most of India north of the Vindhyas (the mountains marking the traditional boundary between north and south India), contesting all the while for supremacy with the Pala dynasty.
This continual warfare between the two kingdoms left both of then enervated, and unable to resist the onslaughts of Muslim raiders (Muhammed of Ghazni, Muhammed Ghauri) which came in the following centuries.
  The Chalukya kingdom was the region south of the Vindhyas, except for modern Tamil Nadu and Kerala.

 Chipko Movement, India
The Chipko protests in Uttar Pradesh achieved a major victory in 1980 with a 15-year ban on green felling in the Himalayan forests of that state by order of India's then Prime Minister, Indira Gandhi.
Since then the movement has spread to Himachal Pradesh in the North, Kamataka in the South, Rajasthan in the West, Bihar in the East and to the Vindhyas in Central India.
In addition to the 15-year ban in Uttar Pradesh, the movement has stopped clear felling in the Western Ghats and the Vindhyas and generated pressure for a natural resource policy which is more sensitive to people's needs and ecological requirements.

 Origins of Iron Ore
BCE, while the radiocarbon dates for early Iron Age sites of Veerapuram and Ramapuram (Andhra Pradesh) are sixteenth – eleventh century cal BCE (Table 1) (Deo 1991: 193; Moorti 1994: 122-23) while in Vidarbha region (Maharastra), contexts containing iron have given radiocarbon dates between the fourteenth and tenth centuries cal BCE (Table 1).
The types and shapes of the associated pottery are comparable to those to be generally considered as the characteristics of the Chalcolithic Period and placed in early to late second millennium BCE.
Taking all this evidence together it may be concluded that knowledge of iron smelting and manufacturing of iron artefacts was well known in the Eastern Vindhyas and iron had been in use in the Central Ganga Plain, at least from the early second millennium BCE.
