\"COMPARISON\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Not long before, when I asked my cousin elder brother, who is an established professional and an avid reader and had roamed almost the entire country – “What place must be the best to live in India if I get to choose ?<\/strong><\/em>“, he didn’t hesitate to answer immediately -“That would be Kerala<\/em>.<\/strong>” I wondered why would he say a place too far south and too unknown in language and culture to people above\u00a0Tropic of Cancer.<\/em>\u00a0The curious mind never stops analyzing and so did I. I began to search on various aspects that would help me justify his opinion.<\/p>\n

High\u00a0Human Development Index (HDI) – 0.790 ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest\u00a0Literacy Rate – 93.9 % ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest\u00a0Life Expectancy – 77 years ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest\u00a0Sex Ratio – 1.084 ;\u00a0<\/strong>Least\u00a0Corrupt State of India ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest\u00a0Media Exposure in India ;\u00a0<\/strong>Lowest\u00a0Positive Population Growth Rate – 3.44 % ;\u00a0<\/strong>Lowest\u00a0Murder Rate ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest\u00a0% of Households with Toilets – 90% ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest Biodiversity in India ;\u00a0<\/b>among Highest\u00a0Air Quality and Pollution ;\u00a0<\/strong>Highest\u00a0Initiative to Mitigate Environmental Conditions\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

I compare it with Indian states that are collectively called BiMaROU (Bihar (& Jharkhand), Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, Orissa, Uttar Pradesh<\/em>). I didn’t have to make much effort, as in every list this group was found collectively among lower rankings (in positive parameters) and higher rankings (in negative parameters).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

This is a clear contrast between the two extremes, on one side, the weak part of Indian economy, that needs most attention and on the other side, an ideal state which has already established the developmental goals for the nation, by portraying itself as an ideal state.<\/p>\n
