Wrong . When we got the independence,
Kerala,TN etc was the most poorest states.
UP,Bihar etc was richest states.
Thanks to their own behaviour now it is totally upside down
Kerala was under a kingdom, that's why Kerala's HDI was high. TN was nowhere near poor because of Madras Port. The Nizam of Hyderabad was the richest man in the world and his kingdom was also rich. So was the Mysore Kingdom.
UP and Bihar were agrarian states and were extremely poor. Their participation in the First War of Independence sealed their fates there.
Sir, pls stop makeing statues in UP and other north Indian states. They are worth 1000 of crores and money down the drain.
Also there is a concept called population control. Making 10 children and saying god will provide them with livelyhood is the main reason we are a middle income group till now. Everyone wants quality life. We are not cattle class people.
South Indian states also produced babies at that pace. It's come down only since the last 10-20 years.
Kerala's TFR came down to 2.1 in 1988 and TN's in 1993. But AP's came down only in 2004 and Karnataka's in 2006.
But the north's greater population is an advantage for us. They will eventually get richer and will become a much more advanced market for us.
Think about it this way. Even if all of South India leaves the rest of India, even then the population of India will be bigger than a billion people. That's the market size up there. We should count ourselves lucky to have received such a huge market all for ourselves.
Can some one share statewide revenue collected by centre and distribution. Kashmir in north getting unfairly high central fund without giving much revenue.
It's a special status state.
These are the parameters to qualify to be one:
1. Hilly and difficult terrain
2. Low population density
3. Strategic location along the borders of the country
4. Backward economy and infrastructure
5. Non-viable nature for state finances
Not to forget the way south Indians were humilated by NI. The attacks on SI in mumbai. Even today you find people in north dissing against us.
We attack North Indians and Northeast Indians in South India.
By 1951 census, Tamilnadu population was larger than Bihar, by 2011 Bihar is over 1.5 times Tamilnadu and expanding. So it would seem you also fault Tamilnadu for not producing enough babies as Bihar did, right? We cannot compensate states for overbreeding. Tamilnadu with smaller families progressed faster. Similar is the case with all other south states.
If you are to provide for more funds to populated states provide condition based aid. Provide for further aid only if they live up to those conditions. Why would south want to compensate for lazy north?
I see it as an advantage for TN here. As long as Bihar's population increases, TN's market also increases. Sell them cars when they are ready for it.
Either you do not understand what is going on or you pretend not to understand.
Yes, UP population is more. So they should pay more taxes and get more from centre. That does not happen. They pay less tax but get more from centre.
Tamil Nadu gets back from India Rs. 45 for every Rs. 100 it pays in taxes. If everything is fair, UP should also get the same ration. But UP gets back from India Rs. 179 for every Rs. 100 it pays in taxes. That is not fair.
Poorer regions pay less taxes because their base is lower.
