States with above $4000 percapita

By D. Muthukrishnan 

Large states with above $4000 percapita, for the last financial year:

Telangana $4687
Karnataka $4385
Haryana $4313
Tamil Nadu $4212

All the above states would cross $5000 GDP percapita latest by 2026.

These states are capable of coming out of low or middle income trap and reach the threshold of advanced economies, around $13,000 percapita within next 10 years. But all these states need to grow at a nominal GDP growth rate of 12% to 14% to make it happen. Not an easy task. 

Not that a Gujarat or Maharashtra cannot do it. In all likelihood, these two states are equally capable. For now, their percapita is lesser than $4000. Gujarat GDP growth rate is decent. But Maharashtra is struggling. It's nominal growth rate of current year is pegged at meagre 5.5%. 

These 6 states - Telangana, Karnataka, Haryana, Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and Gujarat looks like reaching the levels of advanced economies. 

Added to this six - two more have potential to join the high GDP percapita rank- Andhra Pradesh and Kerala.

For now, other states looks unlikely.

If you see the 8 states - it includes all the 5 in south and all the 2 in west. Only Haryana comes from north.

I want all the states in India to grow.

But this is as per my current understanding.

Unveiling the "Real Majority" of India

Unveiling the "Real Majority": Divya Dwivedi’s Critique of the Hindu Majority Narrative * In contemporary Indian discourse, the notion of a "Hindu majority" is often taken as an unassailable fact, with official statistics frequently citing approximately 80% of India’s population as Hindu. This framing shapes political campaigns, cultural narratives, and even national identity. However, philosopher and professor at IIT Delhi, Divya Dwivedi, challenges this narrative in her provocative and incisive work, arguing that the "Hindu majority" is a constructed myth that obscures the true social composition of India. For Dwivedi, the "real majority" comprises the lower-caste communities—historically marginalized and oppressed under the caste system—who form the numerical and social backbone of the nation. Her critique, developed in collaboration with philosopher Shaj Mohan, offers a radical rethinking of Indian society, exposing the mechanisms of power t...

Mallanna Unleashes TRP: A New Dawn for Marginalized Voices in Telangana's Power Game

On September 17, 2025, Chintapandu Naveen Kumar, popularly known as Teenmar Mallanna—a prominent Telugu journalist, YouTuber, and former Congress MLC—launched the Telangana Rajyadhikara Party (TRP) in Hyderabad at the Taj Krishna Hotel. The event, attended by Backward Classes (BC) intellectuals, former bureaucrats, and community leaders, marked a significant moment for marginalized groups in Telangana. Mallanna, suspended from Congress in March 2025 for anti-party activities (including criticizing and burning the state's caste survey report), positioned TRP as a dedicated platform for BCs, Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), minorities, and the economically weaker sections. The party's vision emphasizes "Samajika Telangana" (a socially just Telangana) free from fear, hunger, corruption, and prejudice, with a focus on inclusive development and responsible governance. Key highlights from the launch: Symbolism : The date coincided with Periyar Jayanti and V...

Raise of RSS-affiliated think tanks

Since 2014, the number of think tanks affiliated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has significantly increased. India had 192 think tanks in 2014, which surged to 612 by 2021, reflecting a notable rise in nationalist-oriented institutions like the India Foundation and the Vivekananda International Foundation  This growth is part of a broader strategy to challenge leftist intellectual dominance and promote a "New India" ideology through policy research and public discourse. The main goals of RSS-affiliated think tanks include: Promoting Hindutva Ideology : They aim to spread the ideology of Hindutva to strengthen the Hindu community and uphold Indian culture and civilizational values Challenging Leftist Dominance : These think tanks seek to counter the intellectual hegemony of leftist ideologies in India, providing an alternative narrative in policy discourse Supporting Government Policies : They produce research and reports that s...
