As a Bharathiya I do not believe in regionalism, I belong to Tamil Nadu as much as I belong to Manipur or Gujarat.
I definitely do not like the way people from the south put down states from the North or the way people from the North look down up on people from the South
Because if you look at it closely there isn't a lot to give or take between states. People definitely over do the "Under developed Hindi belt" Vs "Developed South".
All this analysis/conclusions have been drawn from "RBI's hand book of statistics on Indian states"
GSDP Current prices (base 2012) (FY12 to FY20)
- The top 10 states as on FY20 – MH, TN, UP, GJ, KA, WB, RJ, AP, TS and MP & all of them put together are ~146 lakh crores which is ~70% of the country’s GDP. The top 10 have contributed ~70% of the country’s GDP (10 yr avg)
-Prior to FY16 KL was in the top 10 but post that it was replaced by MP and KL hasn’t been able to break into the top 10 since then (reason well known)
-Since FY12 the top three states have always been MH, TN and UP. 4th & the 5th spots have been oscillating between GJ & KA.
-The top 5 have contributed 46% of the country’s GDP
-From FY12 to FY20, Amongst the top 10 states MP has shown the max growth at 14.6% followed by KA at 13.2%. This shows how MP has moved into the top 10 and how KA has traded places with GJ.
