  39. If one is really interested in promoting unity, it is the content of the
  40. posting that counts.
  41.  
  42. In English language, "North India" and "South India"
  43. need not mean separate country. 
  44.  
  45. It means a significant cultural distinction.
  46. Denial to recognize and give the credit where it is due,
  47. and using 'northern' 'southern' does not really promote unity.
  48.  
  49. Actually, one would not even talk about 'northern southern unity'!
  50. one might talk of 'north south unity'.
