Special category states of India
Bhattacharjee, GovindAuthor

These states are Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tripura, and Uttarakhand. This book explores the reality of these states, going down to the roots of their backwardness and examining them in the context of asymmetric federalism.
