If we consider it as a contest,
*** If it is a contest, then why does not Assam have controls
over its resources?
And why does it have to be a contest?
Why do we complain if someone compares India with Singapore or
the USA ?
For instance, if
we started with say 50 years lag behind Gujarat in
1947, the kharkhwas should not complian if the present lag is 50 years
or less.
*** Why not? Who had the right to sell off Assam's resources to
Gujaratis and Marwaris at throwaway prices?
may be we should use a more user friendly set of yard sticks. May be instead of distance travelled (by a State), we should use terms like say 'speed' etc so that we will know if we are maintaining the same lag that we started with. For instance, if we started with say 50 years lag behind Gujarat in 1947, the kharkhwas should not complian if the present lag is 50 years or less. However if we find that we are lagging today say 75 years behind Gujarat, then will be legitimate for the kharkhwas to complain and cry, and we will know that we need to speed up.
The other option is to use an absolute scale for progress just listing what we need and why, and trying to avhieve those.
