well alls not pathetic abt UP.. the kidnapping industry is flourishing thr. if the govt thr can leagalise it thn they can get those kidnappers under the income tax ambit. tht wud make UP alive n kickin in a year... UP wud thn be the new economic superpower in India.. people will neva dare to present kerala as an example thn.
n also the people thr are wise enuff to understand tht more kids = more earning whn they grow up.. even in this day n age its - hum do hamaare dozen.
am sorry if i offended anyone from UP. am really sorry to hav typed all this. but all my brothers from UP, i seriously believe tht UP n Bihar need to do a lot (i mean A LOT) of catching up to do to b considered on par with other struggling states like Orissa n WB. take one step at a time n reach the top. both the states are blessed with a very fertile land n loads of minerals, thn whts holding u back. dont blame the politicians. politicians are only as good as the people they are ruling. people get the leaders they deserve.
