mayfair ,
UP has its share of problems, i named 4 - 90's-00's , the east of the state, land locked and the population.
gujarat on the contrary doesnt have similar problems and on same level.
a much better comparison would have been between gujarat and haryana, haryana because this state is not infested with problems alike UP and the scale of the problems suffered are way less.
that said, when the report highlights:
and still the report says:
i would be more happy with a bigger number of states in india than a few big, dominant states taking away loin's share under various schemes, and having the biggest say in running of the affairs of the country.
odisha:Odisha, Bengal and Kerala are coastal states. Punjab has Pakistan as their neighbour. We know which has the highest socio-economic-industrial indices amongst them.
bengal:Orissa was ranked third on investment radar (after gujarat, and maharashtra) with total planned investments at Rs 1,134,716 crore (Rs 11,347.16 billion) during the H1 FY11.

Kelrala: i dont have the figures with me, so not in a position to comment. perception certainly is that the commies took the state for a ride, well the perception was also that mayawati had taken the state for a ride. will reserve the comments beyond till the time the figures are with me.Among the bigger states, the top three were all ruled by the Opposition. Bihar clocked 110%, Chhattisgarh (104%) and Left Front-ruled West Bengal matched Uttarakhand's 103%. Gujarat was ranked 12th among the the bigger states, taking sheen off Modi's tall claims.

comparison between UP and gujarat.What story? Can you elaborate on that?

that says a lot, no matter how skewed it might be and as such we do not have a district wise break up so we are not in a position to comment further on this. it could well be a case where there has been an over all impact from the whole state or from the west of the state.UP's NSDP at current prices was pegged at Rs 2,56,000 crore in 2005-06. At the end of 2009-10, it had reached Rs 4,53,000 crore. The Mayawati-ruled state has performed on a par with Narendra Modi's Gujarat, which saw its economy expand from Rs 2 lakh crore in 2005-06 to Rs 3.70 lakh crore last year.
as you said it is extremely pronounced, which certainly compounds the problems for UP many times more.Caste and communal politics are not limited to UP alone. Albeit they are extremely pronounced there, especially caste-based politics.
if kerala would have someone like buddha dev minus mamta, i am sure the same state would have done as good if not better.Yet clearly, the past ten years the state has progressed more rapidly and holistically. Mallus are highly enterprising as well, yet Kerala does not seem to share the same indices of industrial growth. To their credit, social indices are pretty high in Kerala, though a lot may have to do with the gulf remittances.
change happens slowly, the base is being taken as 1999-2000 and if we were to discount the recent mayawati tenure which started in '07, then it means UP would have done miserably under other CMs till '07.HDI report is indeed surprising since UP is the state with the largest number of impoverished people in India. Also, Gujarat's overall score on the Human Development Index has, gone up to 0.527 in 2007-08, from 0.466 in 1999-2000, well above the national average of 0.467 as per the report of 2007-08.
and still the report says:
the credit is primarily given to mayawati and not mulayam singh, whose tenure also gets covered in the above report.It said Gujarat was among the worst performers, with 69.7% kids up to 5 being anaemic and 44.6% suffering from malnutrition, proving that high growth was no guarantor of improvement in health.
indeed mindsets do need to change, but if there are better administered smaller states, the impact is profound.For UP to truly progress, the mindset of the people must change. They could do by stop by being extremely curious about the caste of those whom they come in contact with.
i would be more happy with a bigger number of states in india than a few big, dominant states taking away loin's share under various schemes, and having the biggest say in running of the affairs of the country.
