NI vs SI: Yajur Veda
One difference in the Hindu rituals practiced in NI and SI is that the Black Yajur Veda (Krishna Yajur Veda) is the standard Yajurvedic text followed in SI, while the White Yajur Veda (Shukla Yajur Veda) is the standard Yajurvedic text followed in NI. More on this later.

Re: NI vs SI: Yajur Veda
The main difference between NI and SI on Yajur Veda relates to the way NIs recite the verses. Bhaiyyas sing like they are crying while they do khooni to sanskrit words! ganaaaaaaanaaaaantwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa ganapatigumbhavaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

The Black Yajur Veda contains mantras but it also contains prose elucidating how a particular ritual is to be performed. The White Yajur Veda contains only mantras and the explanatory prose is not present in the White Yajur Veda.

I seem to recall you admiring the Sanskrit pronounciation of the pandits of Kashi (Benares).

You might think that the NI's are simply parroting the mantras while the SI's actually know what they are doing when they are performing a Yajurvedic ritual. You would be wrong. I will explain why you would be wrong later unless sandilya or Seva give the explanation first.

Re: NI vs SI: Yajur Veda
Seriously, you are right about many SIs following Krshna Yajurveda (Aapasthamba and Bodhayana are followed by many in AP and Maharashtra, for example). However, the Kanva saakha of Vajasaneya (sukla Yajurveda) is also common in SI. Interestingly, different mEdhas (ashvamedha, for example) of Sukhla Yajurveda are now lost!

The average Panda does knooni to the traditional Kaashi pronunciation.

The answer is that the explanatory prose for the White Yajurveda is included in the text called Shatapatha Brahmana which is associated with the White Yajur Veda.

This is from the Wikipedia article on Yajur Veda:
The Taittiriya recension of the Black Yajurveda is the shakha now most prevalent in southern India.

Re: NI vs SI: Yajur Veda
True. But like I wrote, Kanva saakha is also followed by many. SI is not all uniform. Interestingly, because of Magadha's prominence, apparently, Bihar is one of the main followers of Sukla. :-)
Re: your comment on Satapada Brahmana and Sukla.
In Krshna Yajurveda, the explanation is not separated. It is incorporated! It is just a difference in tradition.

I know the explanation is incorporated in the Black Yajur Veda. that is why I said the Black Yajur Veda contains mantras and also explanatory prose while White Yajur Veda contains only the mantras.
Regarding the Kanva Sakha it is believed to have been composed in Kosala as per Wikipedia. A portion of present day Uttar Pradesh corresponds roughly to where Kosala was.

Re: NI vs SI: Yajur Veda
Probably, most Yajurveda was brought to SI. That is not surprising as SI was mainly a forest in ancient times. Not many ventured into Dandaka those days!
