∙ 11y agoBeing such a diverse and large country, the differences are much larger than as found in small countries of Europe like England, France or Italy.
For example, in South India, they speak Dravidian languages like Tamil.
In north, central and west India, they speak Indo-European languages like Hindi. Besides that, the Hinduism of South India, particularly Tamil Nadu, is purer and of an older variety than that practiced in the north, which unlike the south was repeatedly invaded by Islamic Persians and Central Asians.
The food differs in spice and meat quantities, and in staple products (rice, not wheat).
However, they aren't as different as people like to say they are.
Both North and South have similar tastes in curries, spices and sweets. Most people from both still practice similar forms of Hinduism, and the basic regional clothing of both is more or less the same - dhoti for men, sari for women. Plus, despite its apparent hostility towards Hindi, many (especially young) Tamilians in urban areas like Chennai can speak fluent Hindi. Rural or small-town dwellers don't speak Hindi, much like they wouldn't in West Bengal or Gujarat or Orissa.
The Carnatic music of the South isn't the same style as the Northern Hindustani style, but they are still similar.
Its not just the south tip that differs. The far east has much in common with China and Burma, and is predominantly Sino-Tibetan speaking.

How did southern tip of India is different from the rest of India?
Southern peninsula of India is geologically more ancient than the north, the paleobotanic excavations have proved it. The biodiversity of the deccan and western ghats are also older, so is the culture. Secondly the south was less influenzed by external interventions unlike the north which saw far too many invasions and racial assimilations. This, except coasts of the south which saw relatively more intermixture. Thus the ancient temples and faith, values and culture of the south are more authentic and original. The ancient Sidha tradition of India, of ascetics, lives on in the south more so in Tamilnadu which is not as much priesthood oriented as in the north. That is, the caste based social hierarchy is less rigin in south. This is also there in the deep north and the tribal belts,who keep common attributes to this day. That is the true Hindu faith is in the south. But the south being old and mature keeps its grace and is not eager to look superior. To put it shortly it is the south that retains what is authentic India. Tip of India, the broader term, houses a unique heritage.
