Hmm the reasons for south india's better performance are varied , but the count on which i am worried the most is going to be north will be always easy for hindutva to take root , the south will not be , the reasons are many.
1.The foremost reason i beleive the south is performing better was the lack of an islamic invasion , though parts of bijapur , golconda ,mysore at a certain point of time was ruled by islamic kings , they did not owe their allegiance to the delhi sultanate which was way more fanatical in nature , this is not to say or whitewash the atrocities of the nijam or tipu but conditions were a little better.
2.Societies coming out of a period of lack of pride in their culture's tend to aggressively search for it , in this case a offshoot of the dravidian movement was the middle caste's made an aggresive push for education leaving behind agriculture or made sure at least one in the family was educated , you can call this process the upward movement of the caste's or sanskritization whichever , the same process is being undergone by bihar in the process of yadav's gaining power.
The bad part of this is , the lowest castes get subjugated even further at the hands of the one's directly above them.
But since India reached this point over a certain period of time say 800 yrs , it would take many more to reach a state of equilibrium.
3.Even today in the states of Tamilnadu , Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka , will not mention kerala , the power is held by a few castes which made an upward push , now the winds of change are blowing , the people below them are making a push , it will take some generations but ultimately it would happen.

Karnataka is the only state which can put bjp into power ,Andhra some inroads can be made , seriously doubt tamilnadu and kerala.
