Honestly, the data might point to eastern states, but in my experience, poverty clings hardest to communities trapped in mono-economies, regardless of location. Weavers in Tamil Nadu or cashew farmers in coastal Andhra can be as asset-poor as any tribal group—when the single crop fails or the factory shuts, there is no cushion. My father built our tile business by supplying a booming construction market, but I've seen villages twenty kilometres away, dependent only on a defunct sugar mill, crumble into total distress. Prosperity here isn't a state secret, it's the brutal maths of diversified income.
