&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&amp;rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where did the script go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &amp;ldquo;Gujarat model&amp;rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dark corners&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India&amp;rsquo;s major states in terms of population since the early &amp;rsquo;90s. With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it? When it comes to social indicators, the shine of the Gujarat model appears to fade. If we rank states based on the percentage of people below the poverty line (with a higher rank signifying fewer people below the line) Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s comes 10th out of 20 major states. With regard to infant mortality rate (deaths of children aged under a year per 1,000 live births), Gujarat ranks 11th on a list of major states arranged from those with the lowest mortality rate to highest. On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men. This is well below the national average of 943 females per 1,000 of males. If we compare states on the Human Development index, Gujarat ranks 10th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is much more striking and much less highlighted is that this picture has roughly stayed the same since the early &amp;rsquo;90s, with one important exception: with regard to poverty, there has actually been a steep decline in Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s rank. In 1993, it ranked third in terms of the percentage of people above the poverty line (as mentioned before, a higher rank indicates a better performance). Over the the next eight years, its relative position steadily fell and in 2011, the latest year for which this information is available, the state ranked 10th. In comparison, Kerala improved its rank on this index from number 6 to number 1 over the same period.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&amp;rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where did the script go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &amp;ldquo;Gujarat model&amp;rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dark corners&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India&amp;rsquo;s major states in terms of population since the early &amp;rsquo;90s. With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it? When it comes to social indicators, the shine of the Gujarat model appears to fade. If we rank states based on the percentage of people below the poverty line (with a higher rank signifying fewer people below the line) Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s comes 10th out of 20 major states. With regard to infant mortality rate (deaths of children aged under a year per 1,000 live births), Gujarat ranks 11th on a list of major states arranged from those with the lowest mortality rate to highest. On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men. This is well below the national average of 943 females per 1,000 of males. If we compare states on the Human Development index, Gujarat ranks 10th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is much more striking and much less highlighted is that this picture has roughly stayed the same since the early &amp;rsquo;90s, with one important exception: with regard to poverty, there has actually been a steep decline in Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s rank. In 1993, it ranked third in terms of the percentage of people above the poverty line (as mentioned before, a higher rank indicates a better performance). Over the the next eight years, its relative position steadily fell and in 2011, the latest year for which this information is available, the state ranked 10th. In comparison, Kerala improved its rank on this index from number 6 to number 1 over the same period.&lt;br /&gt;

With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where the light shines.

On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men.

Over the the next eight years, its relative position steadily fell and in 2011, the latest year for which this information is available, the state ranked 10th.

&lt;em&gt;An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&amp;rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where did the script go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &amp;ldquo;Gujarat model&amp;rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dark corners&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India&amp;rsquo;s major states in terms of population since the early &amp;rsquo;90s. With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it? When it comes to social indicators, the shine of the Gujarat model appears to fade. If we rank states based on the percentage of people below the poverty line (with a higher rank signifying fewer people below the line) Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s comes 10th out of 20 major states. With regard to infant mortality rate (deaths of children aged under a year per 1,000 live births), Gujarat ranks 11th on a list of major states arranged from those with the lowest mortality rate to highest. On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men. This is well below the national average of 943 females per 1,000 of males. If we compare states on the Human Development index, Gujarat ranks 10th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&amp;rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Where did the script go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &amp;ldquo;Gujarat model&amp;rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Dark corners&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India&amp;rsquo;s major states in terms of population since the early &amp;rsquo;90s. With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it? When it comes to social indicators, the shine of the Gujarat model appears to fade. If we rank states based on the percentage of people below the poverty line (with a higher rank signifying fewer people below the line) Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s comes 10th out of 20 major states. With regard to infant mortality rate (deaths of children aged under a year per 1,000 live births), Gujarat ranks 11th on a list of major states arranged from those with the lowest mortality rate to highest. On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men. This is well below the national average of 943 females per 1,000 of males. If we compare states on the Human Development index, Gujarat ranks 10th.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&amp;rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics.

&lt;br /&gt;
Where did the script go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &amp;ldquo;Gujarat model&amp;rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader.

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-Scroll.in&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&amp;rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Where did the script go wrong?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &amp;ldquo;Gujarat model&amp;rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dark corners&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India&amp;rsquo;s major states in terms of population since the early &amp;rsquo;90s. With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it? When it comes to social indicators, the shine of the Gujarat model appears to fade. If we rank states based on the percentage of people below the poverty line (with a higher rank signifying fewer people below the line) Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s comes 10th out of 20 major states. With regard to infant mortality rate (deaths of children aged under a year per 1,000 live births), Gujarat ranks 11th on a list of major states arranged from those with the lowest mortality rate to highest. On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men. This is well below the national average of 943 females per 1,000 of males. If we compare states on the Human Development index, Gujarat ranks 10th.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is much more striking and much less highlighted is that this picture has roughly stayed the same since the early &amp;rsquo;90s, with one important exception: with regard to poverty, there has actually been a steep decline in Gujarat&amp;rsquo;s rank. In 1993, it ranked third in terms of the percentage of people above the poverty line (as mentioned before, a higher rank indicates a better performance). Over the the next eight years, its relative position steadily fell and in 2011, the latest year for which this information is available, the state ranked 10th. In comparison, Kerala improved its rank on this index from number 6 to number 1 over the same period.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/855027/gujarat-model-the-gleam-of-states-high-growth-numbers-hides-dark-reality-of-poverty-inequality&quot; title=&quot;https://scroll.in/article/855027/gujarat-model-the-gleam-of-states-high-growth-numbers-hides-dark-reality-of-poverty-inequality&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/div&gt;&#039;

<em>An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. <br />
</em><br />
The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees.<br />
<br />
Where did the script go wrong?<br />
<br />
Gujarat&rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &ldquo;Gujarat model&rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.<br />
<br />
The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.<br />
<br />
<em>Dark corners<br />
</em><br />
An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India&rsquo;s major states in terms of population since the early &rsquo;90s. With regard to infrastructure too Gujarat&rsquo;s performance has been impressive on some indicators. For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab.<br />
<br />
This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it? When it comes to social indicators, the shine of the Gujarat model appears to fade. If we rank states based on the percentage of people below the poverty line (with a higher rank signifying fewer people below the line) Gujarat&rsquo;s comes 10th out of 20 major states. With regard to infant mortality rate (deaths of children aged under a year per 1,000 live births), Gujarat ranks 11th on a list of major states arranged from those with the lowest mortality rate to highest. On life expectancy, it ranks 10th and 7th for literacy.<br />
<br />
In terms of sex ratio, ranking states from the most balanced to least, Gujarat is 15th out of the 20 states, with 919 women per 1,000 men. This is well below the national average of 943 females per 1,000 of males. If we compare states on the Human Development index, Gujarat ranks 10th.<br />
<br />

<em>An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. <br />

The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state&rsquo;s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight.

Where did the script go wrong?<br />
<br />
Gujarat&rsquo;s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the &ldquo;Gujarat model&rdquo; as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics.<br />
<br />
The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development.<br />

Gujarat model: The gleam of state's high growth numbers hides dark reality of poverty, inequality -Maitreesh Ghatak

-Scroll.in An analysis of data shows that the Gujarat model is a bubble waiting to burst. The Gujarat economy continues to be an enigma. In 2014, many considered the state’s economic performance nothing short of miraculous and credited it to the magic touch of Narendra Modi, then the four-term chief minister of the state. This even led to the coinage of a new term: Modinomics. Three years later, as Gujarat heads towards state elections, what was expected to be an easy win for the Bharatiya Janata Party seems to be developing into a fight. Meanwhile, with an eye on the elections, the Centre and the state government have frantically announced a series of sops, including slashing rates of the Goods and Services Tax on select goods to please small traders, loan waivers for farmers, and benefits for government employees. Where did the script go wrong? Gujarat’s is a proverbial case of darkness under the lamps. Over the years, the high growth figures have covered up a dark underbelly of poverty, inequality and poor performance on human development indicators. Those who only looked at the growth numbers concluded that if the “Gujarat model” as it was termed was applied to the whole country, India would be unshackled from an outdated Nehruvian model of development, its growth potential unleashed to make it a world leader. Clearly, this optimistic version proved more persuasive in 2014 than the more sober accounts of the state of things in Gujarat that were based on publicly available official statistics. The validity of the more sceptical take on the Gujarat model of development can be established by a look at the latest Handbook of Statistics on Indian States by the Reserve Bank of India, which puts together a lot of numbers in one place, will give weight to the scepticism over the Gujarat model of development. Dark corners An analysis of this RBI data shows that in terms of both level and growth rate of income, in absolute as well as in per-capita terms, Gujarat has been in the top five among India’s major states in terms of population since the early ’90s.

For example, in terms of availability of power per capita, Gujarat ranks third in the country, behind Haryana and Punjab. This is where the light shines. And what of the darkness beneath it?
