The Margin of Victory Series: Haryana
The hill state of Himachal Pradesh will go to the ballots to decide its future by November 2022 as the present BJP government stands to complete its tenure by 8th January 2023. Situated on the mighty Himalayan range, the state has consistently championed ecological vigilance. It became the first state in India to launch a paperless legislative assembly. Along with ecological vigilance, the state is also known for its clear anti-incumbency voting patterns; the state has not seen any incumbent government returning to power since 1993. With the assembly elections hardly four months away in Himachal Pradesh, it is emerging as a political hotspot of immense intrigue to political observers and the state’s voters.

The fast roads contribute to higher GDP per capita, which in turn allows for investments in road network extension and quality. To fully comprehend this, we at Meradesh, collated our data on mean speeds and GDP per capita of countries into visualization graphs to ascertain their correlation. The fastest roads are found more in rich economies like the United States of America, Canada, and France to name a few against the poor countries where roads are slower. Similarly, rich economies have more per capita GDP in comparison to poor countries. The faster roads efficiently move goods and services across regions as well as open up more opportunities for employment, healthcare and education. That in turn raises productivity and contributes to sustainable as well as more inclusive economic development.

A major incident that we have added to the graph is the duration of the Nirbhaya case. A crime that compelled Indians to accept the vulnerability of women in our society. The rationale behind adding this particular date was to understand how political leaders engaged and responded to discussions around women's safety prompted by the protests following Nirbhaya’s death. The number assigned to female police personnel includes both ranking officers and members of the constabulary. The trend here is that there tend to be more constables than officers- which in itself has pros and cons. A female officer has immense decision-making powers and at the same time, a female constable is more accessible to female complainants. The graph examines three data points- registered cases that fall under the violence against women (VAW) category, number of female police personnel in the department and finally the political leader whose perception and sensitivity to the issue carries policy weight.

Gujarat’s 2000-year-old maritime trade history is as ancient as the land itself. Gujarat’s ports have been mentioned in ancient Greek and Roman books. A Greek book named ‘The Periplus of the Erythraean Sea: Travel and Trade in the Indian Ocean by the Merchant of the First Century’ describes in length the prosperity of Barygaza, modern-day Bharuch. Over the centuries, the 1600 km long coastline has only grown in influence and power. Currently, the State of Gujarat is home to 25 vital ports. Prominent among them are thriving ports of Mundra, Kandla and Pipavav, and the shipyards at Hazira and Alang. The State Government’s Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) administers 10 prominent ports, two have the status of major ports and 13 are privately operated. We built a map to visualize Gujarat’s current port facilities.
