haryana

I am from Haryana and though Haryana is much more developed economically than Kerala, all my friends agree that Kerala is much better.

Second thing is that his father was still running a factory in Haryana even after funds became low.

Khap panchayats in the state of Haryana act as a parallel government and sanction honor killings.

Tamil Nadu and Haryana are 2 other states that made amazing leaps from undeveloped to industrialized.

It's easier to operate a tech company from HYD financially than in Haryana or Karnataka.

Migrant workers from rural areas in east(UP/Bihar) frequently go to work as agricultural laborers where 3 crops can be grown like punjab/haryana.

Kerala has risen from 84.6 to 152 (~80%) while Haryana from 106.9 to 176.8 (~65%) in addition to the fact that most of the Haryana's growth has come from being in proximity of New Delhi.

Moreover, he was living in Haryana hence I can assume that they were having lots of land under their possession.

Punjab and Haryana are the gateway for any foreign invasions, yet while corrupt, they don't have anywhere close to the corruption that those states have.

> a shutdown was imposed in Haryana state, ostensibly to control riots Everyone in India knows what happened in Nuh.

There are many other factors, but essentially, the entire farm supply chain is locked in to corn/soy in most American farmland similar to how most punjab/haryana supply chain is stuck in rice/wheat alternation and resulting farmland/aquifer overuse.

I might be biased but the poverty alleviation work done in Himachal Pradesh (and also Tamil Nadu and Haryana to a certain extent) are much more impressive than Kerala, which already had higher than average developmental indicators at independence.

As a matter of fact, no body in even "cow-belt" (Haryana + Delhi + UP + Bihar) + Madhya Pradesh + Gujarat [1] speaks standardized Hindi (though they all understand Khari boli).

There are also those where women are treated as cattle, to be used and abused and have no rights whatsoever (example states being Haryana/some parts of UP/Bihar) - families do not lose face in these places if men behave inappropriately towards women, they lose face if the man doesn't beat up the woman "to put her in her rightful place".

People from Bihar go outside but within India, to big cities like Delhi/Mumbai or farms of Punjab/Haryana.

They only have a presence in Punjab and with a smattering in Haryana, UK, and Delhi.

All of this only really started after Lawrence Bishnoi started his gang war in Punjab/Haryana/Delhi/Rajasthan.
