Despite Maharashtra's status as one of India's wealthiest and most industrially advanced states, Vidarbha remains significantly underdeveloped, plagued by \u003cstrong\u003eregional inequalities\u003c\/strong\u003e, social stagnation, and lack of inclusive progress. This book traces the \u003cstrong\u003ehistorical roots and structural dynamics\u003c\/strong\u003e that have led to developmental neglect in Vidarbha, emphasizing how systemic disparities have fueled demands for \u003cstrong\u003eseparate statehood\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on official reports, including the \u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Level Committee (HLC) Report of 2013\u003c\/strong\u003e, and comprehensive statistical analysis, the authors critically examine key phases of development and imbalance from 1960 to 2017. They highlight pressing issues such as \u003cstrong\u003emalnutrition, unemployment, and farmers’ suicides\u003c\/strong\u003e, framing them not just as economic challenges but as symptoms of broader policy failure.
