Odisa my state

I am from orissa. I have talked with people from other states. While discussing with them, these are the two important topics that are discussed several times.

1) Orissa is rich in ore mines and have adequete rain fall. Why Orissa is one of the poorest state in India?

2) Oriya people are poor state still it does not have naxalite problem like its neighbors. Orissa has 37% public in SC and ST, still it does not have caste based hatred like other states.

Discussion to follow.
