All salaried people pay taxes. IT dept ensures that. Business owners evade taxes. which states have highest percentage of business owners. Gujarat, Maharashtra, Punjab, etc. Why dont you look up relevant data on govt website to find out who sucks up how much taxes. It will be revealing. Crime is rampant everywhere. Money related crime is highest in in rich cities like Delhi. Telgi and Harshad mehta are not from UP. UP has mostly revenge oriented murders, etc. Most of what outsiders think of UP is media hype created by people who have never been to UP. People from all states are living in UP, including Punjabis, Begalis, marathis, keralites, etc. No one ever tells people from other states to leave UP. I have lived in UP for so many years. I worked with marathis, bengalis, keralites, punjabis, etc. They were never made to feel like outsiders. As it is, all indians are welcome in UP. ONLY in UP can you find INDIANS. Rest of India is full of non-indians. Marathis, Gujaratis, punjabis, malyalis go out and settle in foreign countries but protest if people from UP come to their states. Hypocritical!!. Grow up and accept your nationality. Also as someone suggested, remove UP and Bihar. Do it arithmatically and see how developed India will become. You will be surprised as you will remain as underdeveloped as before. Ask world bank whether whole of INDIA has become a developed country except for UP and Bihar. Ask the Americans whether they distinguish Indians based on their states
