Background/Objectives: This study discusses the political and economic concerns of the 15th finance commission proposed change in the population base year and also the extreme arguments such as Dravida Nadu.
Methods/Statistical analysis: The methodology of this paper is descriptive in nature. Hence there are no such statistical approaches in the paper, whereas the important facts and figures are discussed in their contextual relevance and then compared. A content analysis approach is employed to understand and evaluate the problem through historical, political and economic transitions in the topic.
Findings: It is an all-time argument that the North Indian states have been feed by the efforts of south Indian states. This concern actually has a factual base. The concerns of South India are genuine and justifiable. Hence the achievements of South Indian states with regard to population control policy and human development should be rewarded. For that the revised criteria for sharing tax and non-tax revenues by the 15th finance commission should be re-evaluated or the old criteria must be brought back. Only such decisions can encourage other states to perform in a better way with regard to national policies and overall development.
Improvements/Applications: A serious re-thinking on the 15th finance commission proposed change in the population base year is necessary.
