It is shocking to note to the decay of UP. Last few years it has been fiercely competing with Bihar to be the worst governed state in India.
In a democracy we cannot really blame the politicians entirely. Politicians as a class are basically crooked, unethical and shameless. That holds good for any country in the world. It is the duty of the people to carefully select the best from the rotten bunch and subsequently keep them under control.
All the states of India follow the same constitution, have the same kind of politicians. Then what does lead to the glaring differences in quality of governance between different states? In the same India we have Bihar and Maharashtra, UP and Tamil Nadu.
I think it is time that we started analysing the crisis of governance from a sociologist's point of view.
