"Religious groups replicate the broad pattern seen in the context of poverty by social groups. Poverty has fallen in every single state between 1993-94 and 2009-10 for Hindus as well as Muslims though the change is not always monotonic. While the level of poverty in 2009-10 is higher for Muslims than Hindus in the majority of the states, the reverse is true in Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. An anomaly is the marginal increase in the poverty rate between 2004-05 and 2009-10 in Bihar for Hindus and in Gujarat for Muslims. The observation is particularly surprising since we simultaneously observe a significant decline in poverty during the same period for Muslims in Bihar and for Hindus in Gujarat. Interestingly, as the appendix documents, poverty rates for both Hindus and Muslims decline in both states at Lakdawala between 2004-05 and 2009-10."

-> Buddhists & Muslims have highest poverty rates while Jains & Sikhs have the least.

"Among the large states, Tamil Nadu has the lowest poverty ratio followed by Andhra Pradesh and Gujarat in that order. Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh—all of them from the south—have made the largest percentage-point gains in poverty reduction among the large states between 1993-94 and 2009-10"

-> Based on this data, I'm not sure A.P bifurcation is justified.

On Behalf of KV:

AN Independent TN would have been a super power with 900 (not 700) litres of water per family/day and almost free power.
