Question is it a
contest?
If yes, then are you playing
like Golf game so that states who donot have resources should be given
some kind of handicap from resourceful states so that all states will develop
equally?
For Assam to control all its
resources, it should be an independent kingdom. At present however Assam
is not an independent country although many kharkhwas wish it were. Till
then Assam will have to share its rsources with the poor states I think, what do
you say?
If Assam wants to control its
reources , things would have been so much easier if simply Assam would have
asked for separate indendence from th British in 1947. Too bad for the kharkhwas
that they went with India like a litikai and opened its resources to be
exploited by the Marwaris and other Indians.

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.
