As far as Orissa is concerned, that was one horrifying field of massacres by delhi sultans (to whom Orissa offered very stiff resistance.) Read the accounts of Firoz Shah Tughlaq and others after him. Orissa hindus even repeatedly gave tough time to the muslim state of bengal in their North and as a result valiantly suffered many losses over time. BTW, you include Orissa also in south? Maybe you mean peninsular India? If so please add Maharashtra, Saurashtra etc too, and that will make that complete.
Andhra, Karnataka were rarely under muslim rule?
Goa - centuries of christian massacres (and slave making) that will make any gAzI run for his money. that has been discounted?

Interesting. Please cite a few instances of Smart North Indian Hindus who fled to south (en masse?) Let me give you a start - bhUShaNa the biographer of Shivaji and poet. A few known courtiers of Vijaya Nagaram. But after that I am not aware of any mass migrations that can tilt the general IQ of a region! Will learn.
