Why uttar pradesh is populated

I was born in the Uttar Pradesh heartland — Meerut. I remember eating chat on weekend evenings with my nani ma in Sadar Bazar, and then loading up into a rickshaw to get back home. Often, my nani would haggle with the rickshaw driver about the price or the fact that there were too many of us children and that we should take another rickshaw. We felt terrible, and often saw the haggling as a performance.

As we got older and could handle our own money, we never haggled and generally overpaid for our rides, and sometimes biked the rickshaws so the driver could get a break. In those days, the mids of Meerut, come to mind when I think about what the current Bharatiya Janata Party government in Uttar Pradesh is trying to achieve. It wants to reduce the number of people that can climb into the metaphorical rickshaw that is Uttar Pradesh, which according to their calculations is overburdened.

They are also haggling with the public on the various incentives and disincentives on offer to those who sign up to help reduce the number of people who can get into the rickshaw.

Population control is the primary condition for the establishment of an advanced society. This was in support of a proposed draft UP Population Control, Stabilisation and Welfare Bill , which was opened for consultation and feedback until July That is, a Bill that could impact the lives of million people — the population of Uttar Pradesh in — had been given a day consultation period.

Let that sink in before you read the rest of this article. The proposed Bill plans to incentivise people to have one child — with promotions, tax breaks and public-sector job security. If passed, it will also penalise people with two or more children by denying public subsidies, government jobs and promotions.

An early reader of the report of the SRC was B. He summarized his response in an insightful pamphlet, which was published in the last week of December He proposed that UP become three distinct states, not merely two as suggested by Panikkar.

These would have as their capitals Meerut, Kanpur and Allahabad, respectively. Five-and-a-half decades after Panikkar and Ambedkar suggested that UP be broken up, a new proposal to that effect was made by Mayawati. In , when she was chief minister of the state, Mayawati had a resolution passed in the assembly urging that the existing state be carved out into four smaller states — to be called Purvanchal, Bundelkhand, Awadh Pradesh and Paschim Pradesh, respectively.

The proposal was bitterly opposed within UP by the Samajwadi Party, while the Congress, then in power at the Centre, saw no merit in it either.

First made by K. Panikkar in , the case for the break-up of Uttar Pradesh remains persuasive. Originally, the argument was principally political, to the effect that that one excessively large unit exercised a hegemonic influence, undermining the collaborative nature of the Indian federation.

More recently, the case for dividing UP has been consolidated by the imperative of good governance. UP is clearly too unwieldy, too spread out, and far too populous to be efficiently administered by a single chief minister operating from a single seat of government.

On most development indicators, UP ranks very poorly among Indian states. It is backward, economically as well as socially. One reason for this backwardness is that, in recent decades, the political culture of the state has been oriented towards promoting majoritarian pride. A second reason is that the state is extremely patriarchal.

With more than two hundred million inhabitants, it has more humans within its borders than all but five countries in the world. Agrawal added that Ivermectin has helped the state maintain low positivity rates despite its high population density. He added, "Once the second wave subsides, we would conduct our own study as there has been an emerging body of evidence to substantiate our timely use of Ivermectin from the first wave itself. India continues to see a benefit from Ivermectin, which the mainstream media continues to vilify.

However, the western state of Maharashtra and the southern state of Kerala have seen yet another spike, DW reported. On Wednesday, Maharashtra reported over 3, new cases and over 50 deaths, while Kerala recorded over 4. Health experts are now warning of a potential third wave in October especially as the festival season is fast approaching.
