"The premise of carving out smaller States in India shifted from the formation of linguistic states to one of, since the 1990s, rearranging them on the basis of backwardness and a lack of development. However, even a cursory look at how Uttarakhand, Chhattisgarh and Jharkhand have fared will tell us how the mere formation of a smaller State is no guarantee for better lives for those social groups for whom these States have been created. "

"Uttarakhand continues to be at the lower end in the Human Development Index.  Chhattisgarh has witnessed the largest displacement of tribals in recent times. Jharkhand turned out to be perhaps the worst of the three. "
