Sampling

Hi ! This post is with regard to question asked in 'sampling' post by Hemangi. Ref. http://metca6research.blogspot.com/
According to me its very very difficult(or impossible) for a single researcher to do this task unles & until he/she is provided with lots of assistance.
Another thing is that even with the assistance it wont be easy to do so, as we all know how large population we have here in India! Also what amount of time, energy & other resources it will take to colllect & analyse the data....
So I think, this task is possible when provided with assistance as well as random sampling is done in each of the states & then results are generalised. As in example given by the Hemangi about books, we generalise the quality of few stories which are randomly picked up to entire book, the results of randomly picked population from each state(proportionate to that state's population) can be generalised to the entire country.
