None of the news media I saw had such an analysis.<br /><br />Many thanks, this will be of great use in the future as well.Vikramhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15184698535624088994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-23864509314719218002009-12-20T11:28:14.706+05:302009-12-20T11:28:14.706+05:30@Kapileswar

It does lo...@Kapileswar<br /><br />Thanks for the comments. <br /><br />It does look that it is becoming necessary to a) understand whether not these number are telling a story b) Like you point out, it would be interesting to see, as you suggest, how these numbers break down at a more granular level (district/taluk). <br /><br />Unfortunately, the current debates is centred around power equations. The emphasis is not on a equitable re-distribution of power but concentrating power. <br /><br />Thanks<br />AnandWhat's in a name?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09497136907261985456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-51573809192084031662009-12-20T11:06:48.670+05:302009-12-20T11:06:48.670+05:30Actually all the above comments counter questions ...Actually all the above comments counter questions suggest that we should have more decentralized governance which Lok Satta party and many other intellectuals have been preaching.<br />When you share responsibility and accountability for metrics which Anand has gathered to district level governance and ward level governance.. we might have better results according above analysis.. and this fits well with the request where Gyanban was for separate statehood for Bannerghatta<br />Anyhow recent GHMC ( hyderad municipal) elections and mandatory voting in Gujarat indicate that our polity doesn't seem to be matured enough for the same...<br />Infact recently when local level governance is explored as a reason for current state of things, Mr. Moily has squarely put the blame on the state govt pointing that central govt has provided such provisions but its up to state govts to implement it.Kapileswar Bolisettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15446231170716923455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-59470325098925973812009-12-16T14:54:00.543+05:302009-12-16T14:54:00.543+05:30Inpite of Anand's meritorius presentation with...Inpite of Anand's meritorius presentation with clear stats I see again questions raised against his conclusion. I do not understand why don't people question his method rather than stricltly confined to his conclusion or jsut trying to justify their own belief. Remember human opinion is dynamic and our though processes are always analysing the truths and facts so as to comprehend our belief with new facts and if possible change our opinion.<br /> Either you guys for now,might not want to strain your minds or may be you are comfortable with your belief until it hits you hard, I am sure you would someday change your opinion.sravanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08870220615305693426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-17245311007319283882009-12-14T07:43:39.031+05:302009-12-14T07:43:39.031+05:30I want a separate statehood for our beloved banner...I want a separate statehood for our beloved bannerghatta.You see it kind of fits the bill - for neglect,over-populated-under fed, screaming for attention, it s fare share of infrastructure woes, and the newly added terror threats.

Firstly, I am not too sure if that is going to help with administrative efficiencies.<br />Secondly, my worry is - we might spin the clock back to the days of princely states. <br /><br />That said, if your suggestion implies dramatically increasing autonomy for states I think it has tremendous merit and deserves attention.What's in a name?https://www.blogger.com/profile/09497136907261985456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1558972181160692051.post-79859996765086032362009-12-12T19:52:46.661+05:302009-12-12T19:52:46.661+05:30Anand,
