That trade act didn't just help southern states to grow but Maharashtra, Gujarat, and other parts too.
I don't have issue with funds going to east. Still, that still doesn't explain Hindi imposition, except for the fact that Hindi has become the language of Bihar and Jharkhand, which is supposed to be imposed on the south, too. (I do have problem with South having to beg for drought relief and also UP obviously didn't waive its farmers loans without assurance from centre, because national banks wouldn't do so for just states.)
