ECONOMY OF HINDI BELT


Hindi belt is one of most culturally diverse & fastest developing region in Asia. It is the most happenning, colourful and buzzing part of India. It has more Economic Inequality compared to other cultural and linguistic zones in India. States like Punjab, Gujarat, Haryana and Delhi are some of the fastest growing states in India. The Union Territory of Chandigarh has the highest per-capita income in India followed by Delhi. Even the states of Himachal Pradesh and Uttarakhand And Uttar Pradesh are developing fast. The states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar have one of the lowest per-capita incomes in India. Corruption , government inefficiency and Over-population are regarded as the main causes for the economic stagnation of these states just like states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala and Tamil Nadu in South India which are plagued by separatist, devisive forces and corrupt local governments.
Apart from the capital cities of Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad which are developing due to foreign investment by multinational companies there is not much difference between the state of affairs in Northern and Southern India. The naxalite movement in Andhra Pradesh by People War Group is not much different from activities of moist and communists in Bihar. The sucides by cotton farmers in Guntur district is world famous. The widespead poverty and slums can be seen in the metropolis of Chennai and Bangalore. The Hindu- Muslim tension & riots are common occurance in Hyderabad and Bangalore. The area is plagued by corruption, nepotism and government misrule like Bihar and Jharkhand region.

As a summary, the economy of Hindi belt is similar to Dravidian belt or Dosa belt. The marginal difference in per capita income and literacy rates makes Dosa belt a more attractive investment destination by foreign comapanies in comparison to Hindi belt or Chappati belt.
