Whether it started at the same starting line or not, aren't some of these true: a. Most of the thrust in development in those named states happened in the last 20 years. b. Assam ranks from the bottom 3rd or 5th (I am not sure) - net net it is very near Bihar in those rankings than Tamil Nadu. c. Much of these achievements for Assam of going down in ranking happened in the last 20 years. Assam perhaps was better off at the starting line. And then went down. If you were to take a timescale graph of development, it might have been a split Y inverted 90 degrees. The ones going up for Tamil Nadu and the one going down for Assam. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Read only the mail you want - Yahoo!
