#1 By any measure, Bihar is a failed state - remove it (and parts of UP) and all of India's demographic indicators would shoot up.

There is a joke in India about a Japanese delegation that visited Bihar. They were amazed at the vast mineral wealth (coal, Iron ore etc) and potential cheap labor for manufacturing (many tens of millions of workers).
"We can help turn Bihar into another Japan in 10 years" they said.
The Chief Minister, Laloo Yadav replied "So what? Give me Japan and I will turn it into Bihar in 10 months"
Another joke has Pakistan begging for Kashmir. The Indian PM responds "we will give you Kashmir, but you have to also take Bihar"
"No thank you" says Musharraf.
