By 2014, this gap had almost doubled, with the top three States being 3 times richer than the bottom three. The richest (per capita GDP) State in 1960, Maharashtra, was twice as rich as the then poorest State, Bihar. In 2014, the richest state, Kerala, was four times richer than the still poorest state of Bihar. This gap of four times between the richest and the poorest large State in India is among the highest in the world.

(Warning:Long post) Anecdote:"I can't buy shoes to run as I don't have money", said young Julian Alfred. From running barefoot on the streets of small, less known country of St. Lucia to winning the coveted 100 metre gold at the Paris Olympic Games in 2024. On 3rd August, 2024,Saturday in Paris she woke up early morning to jot her thoughts down in her journal. It's a routine she usually follows on race days to help clear her mind and sharpen her focus. She kept it simple and wrote:"Julien Alfred :Olympic Champion".After that she watched footage of retired Jamaican great Usain Bolt, the fastest sprinter of all time. Her life is replete with challenges. She had to run in her school uniform, in poor facilities, run barefoot.At the age of tender age of twelve,she lost her father. She was spotted by a school librarian who helped her further. At the age of 14 she decided to go to Jamaica, the home of her idol Bolt, leaving behind her family, friends to develop to world's fastest woman. (Stepped out of COMFORT ZONE) She made it happen with her self belief, courage, determination, ability to dream big. While running she revealed her strategy and mindset that she barely notices what's happening in the lane next to her and focused to execute what she wants to do. Giving the nation it's first Olympic medal from such humble beginnings holds a lesson for all of us to push ourselves for the better.It makes the whole country and her proud. She also mentioned that 'not many people know about St. Lucia. Sometimes I can be in an Uber and they ask me where I am from..and they will be like where is St. Lucia." This anecdote can be used in many essays according to the demand of the question. Eg. Upsc CSE pyq was 1)"Attitude determines altitude" 2) "Courage to accept and dedication to improve are keys to success. " 3) "Dreams are those which don't let you sleep.
